high.

• There must be a minimum of 6” side clearance from the cook top to such combustible surfaces above the 36" counter height.

• Within 6" side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36", the maximum wall cabinet depth must be 13" and wall
cabinets within this 6" side clearance must be 18" above the 36" high countertop.

• Wall cabinets above the cook top must be a minimum of 42" above the cook top cooking surface for the full width of the cook

top. This minimum height requirement does not apply if a cook top hood is installed over the cooking surface.

CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS

The bottom of a standard hood should be 30" min to 36" max above the countertop. This would typically result in the bottom of
the hood being 66" to 72" above the oor. Refer to the Cook Top Hood Installation Instructions for additional information. These
dimensions provide for safe and efcient operation of the hood.

This is a vented appliance. The appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward
towards the rangetop. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas
cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

Air curtain or other overhead rangtop hood, which operates by blowing a downward airow onto a rangetop, shall
not be used in conjunction with this appliance.

Note: Minimum clearance for the back wall is 0" with backguard or high shelf.

ELECTRICAL AND GAS REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

There is no connection necessary beyond plugging the unit into a polarized, grounded, 120 VOLT, 60Hz, 15 Amp circuit. The

minimum of 102 VAC is required for proper operation of gas ignitions. This circuit must be grounded and properly polarized.
The unit is equipped with a 16-STP2 Power Cord.

Electric Shock Hazard

WARNING

GAS CONNECTION

The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater then the inlet line of the appliance. This cook top uses a 1/2" ID NPT

inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, verify electrical
power is turned off at the breaker box & gas supply is turned off until the
cook top is installed.

The cook top is designed specically for natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation, verify that the model is

compatible with the intended gas supply.

Manual Shut-off Valve:

This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line before the appliance in the gas stream and in a location where it

can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency. Any opening behind the cook top should be sealed.

Important: Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualied licensed plumber or gas service company.

Please provide the service person with this manual before work begins.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

PRESSURE REGULATOR

All heavy duty commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efcient
operation, since service pressure may uctuate with local demand. External regulators are not required on this cook top since a

regulator is built into each unit at the factory. Under no condition bypass the built-in regulator.

Flexible Connections:

If the unit is to be installed with exible couplings and/or quick-disconnect ttings, the installer just uses a heavy duty AGA
designed-certied exible connector at least 1/2" ID NPT in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69.

In Canada:

CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances and CAN 1-6.9 M79 Quick Disconnect devices for use with gas fuel.

In Massachusetts:

This appliance must be installed with a 36" (3 foot) long exible gas connector.
