information on al)l)ropriate placement
and necessary clearances when planning

installation,

• Avoid placing cabinetrv directly above
cooktop when possible.

• If cabinetry is used above cooking surtace:

- Use cabinets no m ore than 13" deep.

-Maintain 30" minimum clearance between

cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly
above cooktop.

-If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet

bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at
least 1/4" thick, or gysum board at least

3/16" thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet
steel or .02" thick COl)per.

-Clearance between cooktop and protected
cabinetry must not be less than 24".

-An exhaust hood that projects at least 5"
bewmd front of cabinets can reduce risk of

burns caused by reaching over heated
surlhce units.

-X&'orking areas a(!jacent to the cooktop
should have 18" minimum clearance

between countertop and cabinet bottom.

• Use the Monogram gas stainless steel cook-
top with any 36" or wider exhaust hood with
350 CFM or greater air floW rating.

• Installation inust confornl with local codes.
In the absence of local codes, the gas cook-

Make sure sides of opening are parallel and

to sides.

• The Monogram stainless steel gas cooktop is
designed to fit in a 42" or larger base
cabinet. If the cooktop is installed into a 36"
cabinet base, modifications may be required.

A 36" cabinet base must allow fi)r installation

of hold-down clips at the sides. The side

walls may need to be cut away to provide

this space.

• The counterto I) cutout for cooktop must be:

-35-5/16" rain. to 35-7/16" max. wide

- 18-7/8" rain. to 19" max. deep

-Allow at least 3-3/8" clearance between
back of cutout and vertical combustible

wall.

-Allow at least 11-9/16" clearance from right
and left side of CtltOtlt tO ac!jacent wall.

-Allow at least 2-3/4" clearance between
fl'ont of cutout and front edge of

COtlntei'top.

• The cooktop chassis occupies 5-1/2" space

below countertop.

• If installing cooktop above a cabinet with
drawers, it illay be necessary to tlse a shorter

length drawer to allow clearance tot gas

connection.

• In some cases, two 3/8" I.D. 45 ° elbows and a

pipe nipple may be added between regtdator

and cooktop to move regulator flu'ther back
in order to avoid interference with drawer.

ROTE:Some counterteps made from solid surface materials,
such as Corian® may require special cutout preparation (such
as radius corners and aluminum foil tape). Always consult the
countertop manufacturer for specific instructions.

Optional Combination Installations,
This cooktop mav be installed in combination

with a ZVB36 Monogram Downdrafl Vent, with

a ZTDgl0 _.Vu'ming Drawer, or a ZET1038
single wall oven. See "Optional Installations",
pages 9 through 11, fl_r cutout and clearances

of these installations.

Installation Preparation

Stainless Steel Gas ( ooktop

locations

Gas supply:
These cooktops are shipped fl'om tile tactorv
set ti)r either natural gas or I,P gas. Check to

be s/IYe VO/l have tile COITeCt cooktop fl)r tile

type of gas being used.

• Tile pressure regulator must be connected
in series with tile manifold of tile cooktop
and must remain in series with tile supply
line regardless of type of gas being used.

• The natural gas model is designed to
operate at 5" water cohmm pressure.

A regulator is required at tile natural gas

som'ce to provide a maximmn of 7" water
pressure to the cooktop regulator.

• Tile liquid propane model is designed to
operate at l 0" water cohmm pressure.

A regulator is required at the I,P som'ce

to provide a maximmn of 14" water pressm'e
to tile cooktop regulator.

For ease of installation, and if local codes
permit, tile gas supply line into tile cooktop

should be l/2" or 3/4" ]D flexible metal
appliance connectoi; three to five feet long.

NOTE: Purchase new flexible line. DO NOT
USE OLD, PREVIOUSLY USED FLEXIBLE

LINE.

• Make gas connection through rear wall, or
on cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.

Electrical supply:
This cooktop features pilotless electric
ignition for energy savings and reliability.
It operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supply.

A separate circuit, protected by a 15 amp time

delay filse or circuit breaker, is required.

Optional Combination Installations

This cooktop may be installed in combina-

tion with a ZVB36 Monogram Downdrafl

Vent, a ZET1038 Single Oven or a ZTD910

_mning Drawer.

• The gas and electrical supply must be
located where it will not interfere with

vent housing, the oven or the warming

drawer. See pages 9 through 11 fin.

alternate installation requirements.

NOTE:Locate gas and electrical
supplywithin shaded area. Locations
shown for a 42" cabinet base, adjust
when using other cabinet size.

• A properly-grom_ded 3-prong receptacle
should be located within reach of cooktop's

t0/n" foot power cord.

IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully). FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

• Tile power cord of this appliance is

equipped with a three-prong (grotmding)
plug which mates with a standard three-
prong grounding wall receptacle to mini-
mize tile possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

• The customer should have the wall recep-

tacle and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grotmded and has correct polarity.

• Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle
is encotmtered, it is tile personal responsibil-
it)' and obligation of tile customer to have it

replaced with a properly grotmded three-

prong wall receptacle.

Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or
Remove The Third (groined) Prong From The

Power Cord.

Do not rise _111 extension cord.

IMPORTANT: hnproper grounding and
improper polarity of tile house wiring can

cause continuous sparking of tile ignition

-Make sure the regulator is installed in the Regulator

right direction. See arrow on underside of

• Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line

in an easily accessible location.

NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to

connect to pressure regulator; an approved

flexible metal appliance connector may be

used between the pipe stub and the shut-oil
wdve to the pressure regulator, if local codes
permit.

-Ai)i)ropriate flare ntlts and adapters are

required at each end of the flexible

connectoi'.

• Turn on the gas. Check flw leaks using a
liquid leak detector at all joints in the system

(the pressure test fitting is on the side of the
