IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Califomb Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
WARNING: If the information in this
manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUSMELL GAS
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch;
do not use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor's phone. Follow the
gas supplier's instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
- Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.

Installation Instructions
Installing the Cooktop
I_--1]Provide Adequate Gas
Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural
gas at 4" of water column pressure. It is
shipped from the factory set for natural gas.
The convertible pressure regulator supplied
with the unit must be connected in series with
the manifold of the cooktop and must remain
in series with the supply line regardless of
whether natural or L.P. gas is being used.
FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM
INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR
MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14" OF WATER
COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1" (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the regulator
output setting. If the regulator is set for 4" of
water column pressure, the inlet pressure
must be at least 5". If the regulator is set for
10", the inlet pressure must be at least 11".
The gas supply line to the cooktop should be
1/2" or 3/4" pipe.
Installing the Regulator
NEVER REUSE OLD CONNECTORS
WHEN INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.
WARNING: Never reuse old flexible
connectors. The use of old flexible
connectors can cause gas leaks and
personal injury. Always use new
flexible connectors when installing
a gas appliance.
Screw a section of pipe
onto each end of the
pressure regulator.
To reduce the likelihood of gas leaks, apply
teflon tape or a thread compound approved
for use with LP or natural gases to all
threaded connections.

Check for Leaks
After connecting the cooktop to gas, check
system for leaks with a manometer. If a
manometer is not available, turn the gas
supply on to the cooktop and use a liquid
leak detector at all joints and connections
to check for leaks.
Tighten all connections if necessary to
prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or
supply line.
Check alignment of valves after connecting
the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
manifold pipe has not been moved. A
misalignment could cause the valve knob
stem to rub on the control panel, resulting
in a gas leak at the valve.

ground the appliance unless the
screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The
customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one
hand. If this is not done, the adaptor ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
Usage situations where appliance power
cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations
because disconnection of the power cord
places undue strain on the adaptor and leads
to eventual failure of the adaptor ground
terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
