SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

When properly cared for, your new Fisher & Paykel Appliance has been de signed to be a safe, reliable cooking
appliance. When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type appliance provides
intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed
when using kitchen appliances, including the following:

■

Read the user guide thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons.

■

Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow these installation instructions. Be sure to have a

qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using.

■

Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so you will know how and where to

turn off the gas to the appliance.

■

If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Turn the gas to the appliance off

and follow the instructions on the inside front cover of this manual. Do not attempt to find the leak yourself.
This must be done by a qualified service technician.

■

If by some chance a burner goes out and does not re-ignite and gas escapes, turn the gas to the appliance off

and open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had
time to dissipate.

■

This appliance has been factory assembled for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane as indicated by model number.

■

Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.

All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

WARNING:

The flame sizes at the lowest (SIM) and highest (HI) settings (ie the minimum and maximum rate of gas flow
through the valve) were adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. You should not attempt to disassemble
the burner and modify these original gas flow settings. Doing so is extremely dangerous and will void the warranty.
If any modification to the factory settings is required, this should only be done by a qualified technician.

WARNING: Do not leave children alone

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use.
They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.

WARNING:

Caution – Do not store items of interest to children on, above, or at the back of any appliance.
Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto or reach across the appliance to reach these items.

■

Never store anything on the cooktop. Flammable materials can accidently catch fire, plastic items may melt or

ignite and other types of items could be ruined.

■

Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.

■

If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners; they

could catch on fire.

■

Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close to any burner or

burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

■

Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets above the appliance.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

US
CA

■

Be certain to use only dry pot holders; moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burn injury from

steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners,
or burner grates.

■

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while

using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

■

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a

fire hazard.

WARNING:

This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.

WARNING:

Do not touch burners or areas near burners. Burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Burners and
areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns. To avoid risk of burns and/or fire, keep loose clothing,
potholders or any other flammable materials well clear of the burner flame. Do not touch or let clothing, pothold­ers or other flammable materials contact burners or areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the burners and grates.

■

Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. A possible boil over could cause smoking

or greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which
affects the igniter, the unburned gas will escape into the room, which would be extremely dangerous.

■

Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils are

suitable for use on the open flame of the cooktop. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with
sudden temperature changes.

■

Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

■

During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats at the bottom of the pan and does not curl around

the bottom edges of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles.

■

Use proper pan size – Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner.

The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

■

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and accidental spill overs, position handles of utensils inward

so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the outside edges of the cooktop.

■

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

■

Grease is flammable. Do not use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the burner, then smother the fire with baking

soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the base of the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over.

■

Use splatter screens over pans when frying foods to minimize possible grease burns. Be sure not to use a flame

that is too high.

■

For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may be necessary to

clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters click.

■

Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it

is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

■

Be sure all the cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner

on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode.

■

Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapor does not accumulate.

■

Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.

■

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available.

■

For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance never sit, stand, or lean on any part of the appliance.

■

Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Service technicians must disconnect the power supply

before servicing this appliance.

■

California Proposition 65 – Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products 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 instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when
cooking with gas.

PROPER VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

CAUTION!

Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes
or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies before starting,
to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements. Hood blower speeds should be variable
to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required.
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should BE INSTALLED A MINIMUM OF 30” TO A MAXIMUM
OF 36” ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. If the hood contains any combustible materials (ie a wood covering)
it must be a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface. Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of
outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes.
A reputable heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATION:

Be sure to read the section on the proper ventilation requirements before you begin.

Step 1: Unpack the unit, the regulator, and remove all packing between all the burners, rings, and caps.

Remove the grates from their boxes.

Step 2: With the necessary tools and hardware ready, measure the distance from the back and sides of the

countertop and cabinet to locate the position of the cooktop Cutout.

Step 3: Make your Cutout according to the dimensions in section ‘Cutout and Cabinetry Dimensions’.

Square the cutout to the countertop.

Step 4: Lower the cooktop into the countertop cutout, being careful not to damage the counter, inlet pipe

threads, or the power cord of the cooktop.

Step 5: Square the cooktop to the cutout and install the (4) retaining brackets onto the 8 holes for CDV2-365

and (2) retaining brackets onto 4 holes for CDV2-304 located at the bottom of the unit (See Figure 1
below). If the retaining brackets are not installed, the cooktop will not pull down to countertop.

Step 6: Tighten the 4 preloaded thumb screws which will keep the unit secured. Do Not Over-tighten

(See Figure 2 detail below).

NOTE:

Some installations may not have adequate clearance at the front for the ‘Z’-shaped retaining bracket. In those cases,
use the ‘L’-bracket provided. Fasten the bracket to the bottom of the cooktop chassis using one of the screw holes
provided for the retaining brackets. Make sure the bracket extends out far enough to contact the inside of the
cabinet face. While pushing down on the front edge of the cooktop from above,attach the bracket to the cabinet.
This step wil insure that the edge of the cooktop is flush with the counter surface. Plug the adjacent unused hole
in the cooktop chassis with a screw. See Figure 3.

Step 7: Install the regulator with the arrow in the direction of the gas flow (towards the cooktop) using a

sealant on the male pipe threads. Put burner rings and burner caps in place.

Step 8: Connect the gas line to the unit. Refer to section ‘Gas hook-up’.

Step 9: Open the manual valve to let the gas flow. Check for gas leak.

Important!

Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. See section ‘Leak testing’ for instructions.

Step 10: Plug the unit into a wall outlet.

Step 11: Turn the front burner knob on first and apply a match to the burner until the gas lights, being

cautious not to burn your hand or other parts of your body. When the gas is first activated,
there is air present in the gas lines. The match applied to the burner makes it easier and safer
to clear the air/gas mixture. Use Caution to avoid burn injury.

Step 12: Put grates in place.

■

For proper performance, the Drop-In Cooktop must be level. To achieve a flush fit of the cooktop, it will be

necessary to have a flat countertop (front to back and left to right).

■

Be sure to check local building codes for the proper method of installation. Local codes may vary.

Installation, electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.

■

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above

the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing
a rangehood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the overhead cabinets.

■

The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed above the cooktop or on either side of a ventilation

hood is 13”.

NOTE:

The cooktop must be completely removed from the cutout for service.
The cooktop chassis is not supported by the counter.

Instructions for removal for service are included in the service summary,
attached to the bottom of the cooktop chassis.
