WARNING - NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
on the cooktop and cooktop chassis. Doing so blocks
air flow through the cooktop and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard. Keep all slots, holes and
passages clear of grease and grime.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some
by-products that are on the list of substances which
are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances. To minimize exposure to these substances
always operate this unit according to the use and care
manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when
cooking with gas.

• To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or
heat sensitive objects over the cooktop.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the
area around the cooktop. Do not allow children to
play with the controls or touch other parts of the
cooktop. Do not store items of interest to children
on top of or above the cooktop. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for
the first time. Make sure that all the cooktop parts
are dry before lighting a burner.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not place such items on the

tact with the cooktop and surrounding areas during
and immediately after use. Do not use towels or
bulky cloth as pot holders.
• If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long cur-
tains as window treatment. The curtains could blow
over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room when operating the cooktop.
IMPORTANT - This appliance is equipped with a
three prong grounding plug for your protection against
possible electric shock hazards.

WARNING
Gas Supply Requirements
observe all g0verning c0des and ordinanCes during
planning and installation, Contact your local building
department for further information.
To prevent an electric shock hazard, the power sup-
ply must meet the specifications stated below.
The electrical and gas supply data on this page is for refer-
ence only. If the requirements below do not agree with the
product data label, use the data on the product data label.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical installation, including minimum supply
wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance
with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and local
codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be
obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269-9101
The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be
supplied to the electrical outlet according to the product
data label located on the bottom of the chassis.
• The electrical outlet must be installed by a licensed
electrician.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Circuit Required ' Total Connected Load
120 Vac 60 Hz,
15 Amp. (3 wire)
0.25 Amp @ 120 Vac, 60 Hz
Check your local building codes for the proper method
of installation. In the absence of local codes, this
appliance should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. The
gas service must be installed by a qualified profes-
sional
Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct for
the gas service being provided (natural gas or LP gas).
Also, if operating the cooktop at an altitude above 4000
ft. (1219 m) make sure it is equipped for high altitude
operation. See the inside cover for more information.
An external manual shut-off valve must be installed
between the gas inlet and the cooktop for the purpose
of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
The factory provided regulator shipped with the appli-
ance must be installed in the gas line that runs from the
gas shut off valve to the cooktop gas inlet. Use only the
regulator provided. The regulator inlet accommodates
a 3/4" gas supply line and is also compatible with a
1/2" house gas supply. The inlet to the cooktop itself is
equipped with a 3/4" male NPT fitting.

General Considerations
The minimum distance from the back of the cooktop
to a combustible rear wall is 2 1/2" (64 mm) minimum
(Figure 1).
Installation of a non-combustible material* (up to the
hood) or a backsplash is always recommended, and
mandatory if the distance to the back wall from the
cooktop is less than 2 1/2" (Figure 2). When installing a
backguard, use only Dacor model numbers AEB3609,
AEB3612 (EG366), AEB4809 or AEB4812 (EG486).
* Consult local codes and ordinances for acceptable
non-combustible materials.

Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
installed away from drafts caused by doors, windows
and heating and air conditioning outlets. To reduce the
risk of personal injury from reaching over a hot appli-
ance, avoid cabinet installations directly above.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce
accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recom-
mends installing a range hood. A hood should project
horizontally a minimum of five (5)inches beyond the
face of the cabinets.

The installation must allow access to the underside
of the cooktop for service and inspection purposes,
including the ability to turn off the cooktop gas supply
valve and electrical outlet.
• All contact surfaces between the cooktop and the coun-
ter must be solid and level.
The countertop overhang on the sides of the cutout
shown on the following pages covers the recessed por-
tions of the cooktop behind the control panel and cre-
ates a seamless look for the installation.
IMPORTANT: When installing the cooktop into a lami-
nated or synthetic countertop, radius the corners of the
cutout to help avoid cracking. Consult the countertop
manufacturer's instructions for minimum corner radius,
reinforcement and heat protection requirements.
• For installations with a raised vent, install this appliance
only with the approved Dacor raised vent models listed
on page 6.
Gas and Electric Service Location
• The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-
trical outlet must be located so they do not interfere
with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another
appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the routing of
gas and electrical service out the back of the unit.
• The shaded area on the facing page shows the rec-
ommended location of the gas inlet and the electrical
outlet. For replacement purposes, the location of the
existing utilities may be utilized provided they do not
interfere with the sides or rear of the cooktop. Check
local building codes for permissible utility locations.
• For best performance and to minimize gas pressure
loss, attach the gas supply regulator as close as pos-
sible to the cooktop gas inlet.
The installation must:
Allow for access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator
when the unit is installed.
Allow for access to the electrical outlet, when the
cooktop is in place so that the power cord may be eas-
ily disconnected if the unit needs service.
Allow for connection of the (32") power cord to the
electrical outlet.
• If a raised vent is to be installed, allow for access to the
gas supply valve and electrical outlet when the raised
vent is in place.
