Installation Preparation

ADVANCE PLANNING

Refer to "Installation Preparation" for information on appropriate placement and necessarg clearances when planning

installation. Avoid placing cabinetrg directlg above cooktop

when possible.

If cabinetrg is used above cooking surface:

- Use cabinets no more than !3" deep.

- Maintain ]0" minimum clearance between

cooktop and unprotected cabinets directlg above cooktop.

If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet

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

3/16" thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02" thick copper.

- Clearance between cooktop and protected

cabinetrg must not be less than 24". An exhaust hood that projects at least 5"

begond front of cabinets can reduce risk of burns caused bg reaching over heated

surface units.

- Working areas adjacent to the cooktop

should have 18" minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.

A 36" or wider exhaust hood with ]S0 CFN or greater airflow rating is recommended for use

over this Monogram cooktop.

Installation must conform with local codes.

In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must complg with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.!, latest edition. Gas supplg should be located near the opening

for this cooktop (see Preparing the Opening and Gas Connection sections of this manual). The

supplg should provide natural gas at 7" of water column pressure (1!" of water column for LP gas) and a maximum of !/4" of water column for natural or LP gas.

The electric spark ignition feature for this model requires a 120V electrical power supplg be located in the immediate vicinitg of this cooktop (see Electrical Connections section

of this manual).

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS

Gas supply: These cooktops are shipped from the factorg set

for either natural gas or LP gas. Check to be sure SOUhave the correct cooktop for the tgpe of gas being used.

• The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain

in series with the supplg line regardless of tgpe of gas being used.

• The natural gas model is designed to operate at

S" water column pressure. A regulator is required at the natural gas source to provide a minimum of 6" water column to the cooktop regulator.

• The liquid propane model is designed to operate at

!0" water column pressure. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a minimum of :!1" water column to the cooktop regulator.

Maximum inlet pressure for the regulator supplied

with the cooktop is 14" water column regardless of the gas being used.

For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supplg 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.

1. Install the house gas supplg at least !" from

the back wall.

2. Locate the electrical outlet !2" below the

countertop.

Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an easilg accessible location outside the cooktop. Be sure SOUknow how and where to shut off the gas supplg to the cooktop. Install the electrical outlet

!2" below the countertop.

Electrical supplg: This cooktop features pilotless electric ignition for

energg savings and reliabilitg. It operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supplg. A separate circuit, protected bg a

!5 amp time delag fuse or circuit breaker, is required.

Optional Combination Installations This cooktop mag be installed in combination

with a ZVB36 Monogram Downdraft Vent, a ZET1 or ZET938 Single Oven or a ZTD910 or ZKD910

Warming Drawer.

• The gas and electrical supplg must be located

where it will not interfere with vent housing, the

oven or the warming drawer. Review pages 12

to 14 for additional installation requirements.

• A properlg-grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of the 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 possibilitg of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked bg a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properlg grounded and has correct polaritg.

Gas

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibilitg and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properlg grounded three-prong 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 Instructions

1_ INSTALL THE COOKTOP

A. Remove the screws on the sides of the cooktop

burner box. Use those screws to attach the side mounting brackets.

B. Insert the cooktop centered into the cutout

opening. Make sure the front edge of the countertop is parallel to the cooktop.

Check clearances at the front, back and sides.

Secure the hold-down bracket to the cabinet sides with screws.

[_ INSTALL PRESSURE REGULATOR

-AWA RNIN G: Neverreuse oldflexible

connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use

new flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.

To reduce the possibility of gas leaks, apply teflon tape or a thread compound approved for use with

LP or Natural gases to all threaded connections.

[_ INSTALL PRESSUREREGULATOR

(cont.)

C. Before testing for leaks, make sure all burner

knobs are in the OFF position.

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.

WARN ING:Donotuse a flameto

check for leaks.

Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3,5 kPa),

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during

any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

[3] CONNECT ELECTRICAL

• Check to be sure the receptacle is properlg grounded.

• Plug in the power cord.

power.

• Push and turn a burner valve to the LITE position. All spark igniters will make a series

of sparks (ticking sounds), but onlg the burner turned to LITE will light.

- The burner should light when gas is available

to the burnen

- Once the burner lights, it should be turned to

The serial plate for gour cooktop is located on the bottom of the burner box. In addition to

the model and serial numbers, it tells gou the ratings of the burners and the tgpe of fuel and pressure the cooktop was adjusted for when it left the factorg.

When ordering parts, always include the serial number, model number and a code letter to

ensure proper replacement parts.

Check again to be sure all installation procedures have been completed.

WARN ING:,f uouattempt to measure

the flame, please use caution. Burns could result.

The three cooktop grates are designed for specific positions. For maximum stabilitg, these grates should onlg be used in their proper positions: theg should not be interchanged.

Position the two side grates with locking rails

toward the center grate so that a continuous "arc" is formed with the center ribs of all three

grates. Hake sure the center grate is locked into position over the rails on the side grates and that all the grates are stable and level.
