•Refer to “Installation Preparation” for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installa­tion.
•Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when possible.
•If cabinetry is used above cooking surface: –Use cabinets no more 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 copper.

–An exhaust hood that projects at least 5"
beyond front of cabinets can reduce risk of burns caused by reaching over heated surface units.
–Working areas adjacent to the cooktop
should have 18" minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.
•Use the Monogram gas updraft cooktop with any 36" or wider exhaust hood, if desired; no special ventilation is required.
•Installation must conform with local codes.

8-13/16" Min. Cutout To Side Wall
2-1/4" Min. From Front of Countertop
Caution:
countertops and cabinets should withstand 200°F heat generated by the cooktop.
Wallcoverings,
Measure carefully when cutting countertop. Make sure sides of opening are parallel and rear and front cuts are exactly perpendicular to sides.
•The Monogram gas updraft cooktop is designed to fit in a 36" or larger base cabinet.
•The countertop cutout for cooktop must be: –34-1/2" wide –18-1/8" deep –Allow at least 4-5/8" clearance between
back of cutout and wall.
–Allow at least 8-13/16" clearance from right
and left side of cutout to adjacent wall.
–Allow at least 2-1/4" clearance between
front of cutout and front edge of countertop.
•Cooktop requires 3" free space below countertop.
•If installing cooktop above a cabinet with drawers, it may be necessary to use a shorter length drawer to allow clearance for gas connection.
•In some cases, two 3/8" I.D. 45° elbows and a pipe nipple may be added between regula­tor and cooktop to move regulator further back in order to avoid interference with drawer.

Gas Updraft Cooktop
Power supply locations
Gas supply:
These cooktops are designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of water column pressure or on LP gas at 10" of water column pressure.
–These cooktops are shipped from the
factory set for natural gas. If you decide to use this cooktop with LP gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other qualified person. JXLP56 conversion kit is required for LP operation.
•The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of type of gas being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 10" water column pressure for natural gas and 14" water column pressure for LP gas.
•When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" 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" of water
column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11".
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" ID flexible metal appliance connector, 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 fuse or circuit breaker, is required.
•A properly-grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of cooktop’s four foot power cord.
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully). FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded and has correct polarity. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three­prong wall receptacle.
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or Remove The Third (ground) Prong From The Power Cord.
Do not use an extension cord.

Installation
Gas Updraft Cooktop
Step
1
Install Cooktop
Note: If the cooktop is installed into a 36" base cabinet, the pressure regulator MUST BE installed to the bottom of the cooktop before the cooktop is placed into the cabinet.
•Remove packaging from the cooktop.
•To insure a good fit, position the cooktop over the cutout opening and carefully lower into place. Check edges all the way around to be sure all cutout edges are concealed and there are no gaps.
•Carefully, lift and remove the cooktop.
1/16"
3/8"
Gasket
Countertop
Note: If the cooktop is installed in a 36" base cabinet, the mounting brackets cannot be used because of interference with the cabinet sides. In this case, the cooktop can be secured to the cabinet with angle brackets (not supplied). –Remove one screw at the bottom of the
cooktop body on both sides and secure the bracket with those screws. Then, secure the brackets to the cabinet sides.
•Cut a 3/16" gasket strip in half. Peel off the backing and apply to the underside of the glass cooktop edge. –on each side at least 3/8" from the back
and as close to the edge as possible without protruding.
•Apply the other gasket strip to the underside of the glass at the front of the cooktop.
•Remove remaining adhesive backing.
•Position the cooktop over the opening, making sure that the power cord is dropped into the cabinet.
•Lower the cooktop into the cutout, pressing gently and evenly to seat.
•Insert hold-down bracket into highest slots on the right and left sides of the cooktop:
–Cooktop has three slots, the highest
available will depend on the thickness of the countertop.
•Secure the brackets to the underside of the
countertop with screws provided.

Install Pressure Regulator
•Install the supplied pressure regulator and nipple in the gas line as close to the cooktop inlet as possible. Allowances for ventilation ducting may be necessary. –Make sure the regulator is installed in the
right direction.
•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-off valve and the pressure regulator, if local codes permit. – Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are
required at each end of the flexible connector.
•Turn on the gas. Check for leaks using a liquid leak detector at all joints in the system (the pressure test nipple is adjacent to the gas inlet pipe on the rear right hand side of the cooktop bottom.
