HEADER

WARNING:

Disconnect power before installing
Before turning power on, be sure that all
controls are in the “off” position.

Read entire instructions before proceed­ing installation must comply with all
applicable codes.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

* All top covers and chopping blocks must be

removed before using the appliance.

* No cooking utensil should be used on top of

the grill.

* Never block the front face of the unit as it

will affect the flow of combustion and ventila­tion of air.

Important Installation Information:

Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 ­1987 Standard for Household Cooking Gas
Appliances.

Check local building codes for the proper
method of cooktop installation. In the
absence of local codes the cooktop should
be installed in accordance with the National
Fuel Code #Z223-1-1984 and National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1987.

CAUTION

When connecting unit to LP gas make
certain the LP gas tank is equipped with
its own high pressure regulator in addi­tion to the pressure regulator supplied
with the cooktop. The maximum gas
pressure to this appliance is not to
exceed 14.0 inches water column from
LP gas tank.

STEP 1: PRECAUTIONS

2

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and
countertop openings should be prepared by a
qualified cabinet worker.

2. The clearances shown in Fig.1 are required for
installations of cooktop and islands.

3. The cooktop is designed to hang from the coun­tertop by its side flanges. The countertop how
ever, must be strong enough to support this
heavy cooktop. It may be necessary to add a 2
x 4 corner brace (See Figs.3, 4, and 5). Another
alternate would be to construct a deck to set the
cooktop on.

4. The cooktop can be installed in various positions
with the front either flush or projecting, depend­ing on the countertop depth. (See Fig.2 side
view of cooktop; see Figs.3-5 for alternate
mounting positions.)

5. Establish the centerline of the cooktops desired
location. It should be the same as the center or
the overhead ventilation hood.

6. Cut the opening for the following installations:

* Standard countertop installations (See Fig.3).
* Deep counter or island installations (See Fig.4).

NOTE: If the deck is used, the sides or bottom of the
cutout may be solid combustible or non material. If
the bottom is solid, provide 5” x 5” cutout in the left
rear corner for the gas inlet and power cord clear­ance.

If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both
sides, you will need to notch the front corner of the
cabinet to match the counter top notch and to allow
clearance for the cooktop front (See Fig.5).

PLACING & ANCHORING - ELECTRICAL

Lift and place the cooktop in the opening. Be careful
not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet between
anything. Anchor the cooktop; ensure that the appli-
ance is in place and level (See Fig.7).

For cabinets with side access, screw the 2 “L” shaped
brackets (supplied) into the holes provided using the
#10 sheet-metal screws as shown in Fig.7 cooktop.
Then using the 1/4 - 20 bolt and nuts (supplied),
anchor as shown.

For cabinets with no side access, first fasten the brack­ets to the cabinet side wall using a suitable fastener.
Then drill two 5/32” dia. holes upward into the bot­tom of cooktop and fasten as shown in Fig 7. coun­tertop.

POWER REQUIREMENTS:

120 VAC, 60 Hz.
7 Amp.
(Use 15 Amp. Circuit)

Always disconnect electric supply cord from the wall
outlet or service disconnect before servicing this appli­ance. Observe all governing codes and ordinances
when grounding, in absence of which, observe
National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70-1987.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

This appliance is factory equipped with a power sup­ply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with
polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged into
a mating grounding, type receptacle, connected to
a correctly polarized 120 Volt circuit. If the circuit
does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the
responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to
have the existing receptacle changed to a properly
grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with
all applicable local codes and ordinances by a quali­fied electrician. In the absence of local codes and
ordinances the receptacle replacement shall be in
accordance with the National Electrical Code.

THE THIRD PRONG SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CUT OR REMOVED (See
Fig. 8). (See Fig. 9).
