SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid personal injury or property damage, please read and follow these important safety precautions.

1. Before any maintenance or repairs are performed, disconnect the appliance from the electric supply.

2. Your appliance should be installed by a qualified gas installation technician. Have the technician show you the exact location of the gas shutoff valve on the incoming gas line so you know how to turn off the gas if necessary.

3. In the event of a power failure, do not attempt to operate the appliance or light any of the burners. This is a gas fired appliance that employs electrical components such as the ignition and safety devices.

4. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically instructed to do so by this manual. Inwarranty service must be performed by an authorized service agency.

5. Do not store flammable materials on or near the appliance. Keep the appliance area clean and free of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. A check before each use to determine that no hazardous materials are in the area is recommended.

6. The push-to-turn control knobs on this appliance are designed to be child-safe, however, not a guarantee of operation. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the kitchen while the appliance is in use.

7. Additional care should be exercised if your appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. During heavy or continued use this shelf

may become hot. Do not place combustible materials or plastics on this shelf.

8. Do not store items of interest to children above the appliance. Children, as well as adults, should never be allowed to sit, stand, or climb on any part of the appliance. Serious injury may occur.

9. Never leave the appliance unattended during use. Boil-overs may occur, causing spills which may ignite.

10. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. It is recommended you purchase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher for your home. Store it in close proximity to your appliance.

11. If you are flaming liquor or other spirits, and you appliance is installed under a vent hood, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft created could cause the flames to spread out of control.

12. For your safety, never use your appliance or any other cooking appliance as a space heater to warm or heat the room.

13. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in steam burns. Do not allow potholders to touch hot burner areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky material as a potholder.

14. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of

flammable materials, and spillage, the handle of any pot or pan should be positioned so that it does not extend over adjacent burners or the front of the appliance.

WARNING Operation of this product could expose you to carbon monoxide if not adjusted properly. Inhalation of carbon monoxide is known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

SITE PREPARATION

Your Drop-in Cooktop may be installed into a counter top in a row of cabinets or into an island. Refer to the illustration above for key dimensions to be followed when installing your appliance.

Your cooktop has zero clearance requirements to surrounding surfaces. There are restrictions to flammable surfaces around and above your cooktop. These minimum dimensions are shown in the figure. Dimension “E” is for your ventilation hood. It is recommended that your exhaust hood be powerful enough to move a minimum of 300 cfm.

Dimensions “A” and “B” must be a minimum of 6” [150mm] from side walls or cabinets. Dimension “D” must be at least 1 1/2” [38mm] from back wall to the cooktop.

All specifications are subject to change without prior notice

If installed in a countertop along a wall at the rear the surface must be inflammable material extending at least six inches upward.

When making the cut-out be sure to follow the dimensions that match the body of your cooktop model. The cut-out required is smaller in both directions than the finished top. The depth is always 20-1/4 inches. The width is either 28-1/4 inches for a 30 in cooktop or 34-1/4 inches for a 36 in cooktop.

THE FRONT FACE OF THE UNIT MUST BE 2 (TWO) INCHES FROM THE FRONTEDGE OF THE COUN-

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

1. Check the package for damage. If any

damage is visible you should mark the bill of lading you sign that there may be concealed damage.

2. Insure the container is upright. If the con-

tainer is not upright major damage can occur to your appliance. If damage is discovered, do not refuse delivery. Contact the carrier and file appropriate freight claims. Do not contact the manufacturer. Your appliance was shipped from the dealer you purchased it from. Shipping damage claims are to be resolved between the customer, shipping carrier and dealer. The manufacturer may assist in resolving any such claims, but such assistance does not relieve you of your responsibility.

3. Move the container as close to its installa-

tion location as possible. This will reduce moving and handling your appliance once it is out of its shipping container.

4. Cut the straps holding the carton to the

palette. Lift the box directly up and off the appliance. Do not use a hammer. Do not cut the carton with a razor, utility or box cutting knife.

5. Thoroughly inspect your appliance for

damage. If damage is discovered, do not refuse delivery. Contact the carrier and file appropriate freight claims. Do not contact the manufacturer. Your appliance was shipped from the dealer you purchased it from. Shipping damage claims are to be resolved between the customer, shipping carrier and dealer. The manufacturer may assist in resolving any such claims, but such assistance does not relieve you of your responsibility.

6. Remove and unpack any accessories

shipped with your appliance. Make sure no hardware or accessories are left to be disposed of unintentionally.

POSITIONING

1. The importance of the proper installation of gas cooking equipment cannot be overstressed. Proper performance of the equipment is dependent, in great part, on the compliance of the installation with the manufacturer’s specifications.

2. Each gas appliance shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment to permit access to the appliance. Such access and clearance is necessary for cleaning and servicing.

3. Due to size and weight, a rolling lift jack, air sled or pallet jack may be required to move the appliance into position.

4. Do not push against the edges or sides of any appliance in an attempt to slide it into position. Although all metal parts are deburred during the manufacturing process, serious injury could occur if the appliance were to move suddenly while being positioned. We recommend you use gloves during the installation process.

5. As part of the installation protective plastic wrappers on stainless steel surfaces should be removed. These wrappers must be removed before operation.

6. For optimum performance the appliance should be leveled during installation. A carpenter type level should be placed on the appliance three ways: side to side, front to back, diagonally.

7. Appliances on bullet legs may be leveled by screwing the various leg assemblies in or out. If the appliance is for installation in an island or cabinet cut-out the edges should be shimmed with small metal coupons.

The appliance must be installed by a licensed gas technician or appliance installer
