GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For Models with 4 Sealed Burners, Tempered Glass Cooktops or Porcelain Enamel Cooktops)

Important Notes to the Installer

1. Read all instructions contained in these installation instructions before installing the cooktop.

2. Remove all packing material before connecting the electrical supply to the cooktop.

3. Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

4. Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.

Important Note to the Consumer

Keep these instructions with your owner's guide for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this cooktop must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition, or with the Canadian Fuel Gas Code, CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

This cooktop has been design certified by the American Gas Association. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find them in the Owner's Guide, read it carefully.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

The electrical power to the cooktop must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.

This cooktop is not approved for use

with downdraft systems.

Before Installing the Cooktop (Gas on Glass Models Only)

Figure 2

• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

• This cooktop must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70—latest edition, or with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1.

• The burners can be lit manually during an

electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when lighting burners manually.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the cooktop. Children could be

seriously burned climbing on the cooktop to reach items.

• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

burners, cabinet storage space above the burners should be avoided.

• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

• Never use your cooktop for warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop without adequate ventilation can be hazardous.

A roll of foam tape is supplied in the literature package. Install the foam tape around the perimeter of the flange of the burner box, at a distance of 1/4" from the edge of the glass. Apply the exposed adhesive side of the tape against the underside of the glass surface (see Figure 2). Remove the protective film from the underside of the foam tape before inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening.

NOTE: This tape seals the underside of the cooktop to the counter. Do not remove this foam tape. This tape prevents entry of air for normal gas combustion, and prevents liquids from leaking under the cooktop.

After inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening, make sure the unit is sitting on the metal flange around the top of the burner box. The cooktop must not sit on the glass top. Avoid cutting an oversized hole in the countertop to prevent glass top from sitting on the countertop.

GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For Models with 4 Sealed Burners, Tempered Glass Cooktops or Porcelain Enamel Cooktops)

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space located above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is provided, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (10.2 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(For Models with 4 Sealed Burners, Tempered Glass Cooktops or Porcelain Enamel Cooktops)

Clamp Down Information

Once the unit is installed in the counter opening, you must clamp the unit down as shown.

Figure 7

To clamp down, insert the bracket with the offset side of the angle into the slots on each side of the unit. The thumb screw should then be run through the bracket, up against the bottom of the counter. Tighten until the unit draws down.

Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to operate on 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14" of water column pressure (3.5 kPa).

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/ Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with LP/ Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in the package containing the Installation Instructions, in a bag marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices.

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in personal injury and property damage.

Install Pressure Regulator

Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where you can reach the access cap.

Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5" water column (1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for 10" water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11" water column (2.75 kPa).

The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4" solid pipe.

Figure 8

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in order: manual shutoff valve, nipple, flare union adapter, flexible connector, flare union adapter, nipple, pressure regulator.

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
