CAUTION: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,
REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING
INSTALLATION.
These appliances must be suf)plied with the
proper voltage and fi'equency, as listed on
page 18. Connect to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit breaker or time delay
fuse. Proper electrical ratings should be
verified with listing on product's rating plate.
Wiring must conform to the requirements of
the National Electrical Code. If the electric
supply provided does not meet the specifica-
tions, call a licensed electrician.
WARNING:
Any home ventilation system, such as a
cooktop with a downdraft mechanism, may
interfere with the proper flow of exhaust
products or combustion air required by gas
furnaces, gas water heaters, fireplaces, or
If you received a damaged component, you
should contact your dealer.
Installation of these components require basic
mechanical skills. Proper installation is the
responsibility of the installer.
other naturally vented systems. To minimize
the chance of interference with such naturally
vented systems, follow the heating equipment
manufacturer's guidelines, and local codes.
Also follow tim guidelines in ASHRAE
Standard 62-1989, "Ventilation for Acceptable
Indoor Air Quality", section 5.8. When
following these guidelines, be sure to test for
proper airflow direction into the draft hood of
a naturally vented gas furnace oi" water heater.
This can be checked by striking a match,
blowing it out, and while it is still smoking,
holding it near the draft hood relief opening.
If smoke is drawn into the opening, vent flow
is in tim proper direction. If tim ASHRAE
Standard 62 guidelines are not satisfied, a
positive supply of outside air may have to be
suf)plied.
In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop
must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.

Location
• Whenever possible, avoid placing cabineti T
directly above the cooking surface.
• If cabinetry is used above tile cooking
surface:
Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.
Maintain 30" nAnimum clearance between
cooktop(s) and unprotected cabinets
directly above the cooktop.
-If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet
bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at
least 1/4" thick or gypsum board at least
3/16" thick covered with 28 gauge sheet
steel or .02" thick copper.
-Clearance between cooktop and protected
cabinetry must not be less than 24".
Working areas next to the cooktops should
have 18" nAnimum clearance between the
countertop and the cabinet bottom.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed
microwave oven or cooking appliance over the
cooktop(s) shall conform to tile installation
instructions packed with that appliance.
• Installation must conform with local codes.
Clearances:
• When installed electric components require
the following clearances:
2" nan. fl'om fl'ont of cooktop to fl'ont edge
of countertop,
- 1" rain. fl'om back of cooktop to rear wall,
- 1" nan. fl'om side of cooktop to side wall.

Supply
Location
• Gas components are designed to operate on
natural gas at 4" water column pressure.
These cooktops are supplied with 1/2" NPT
male gas connections. The connection for
models with right hand controls is on the
bottom right corner, and left hand control
models on the left corner.
• Gas components cannot be converted to LP
gas operation.
• Make gas connection through the rear wall,
or on the cabinet floor at the rear.
• For rigid connection, locate pipe stub:
4-7/16" fl'om center line of appliance,
on the back wall, at least 12" below
countertop,
-on the floor, 2-1/2" forward of the back of
the countertop cutout.
For flexible connection, locate pipe stub on
floor or back wall in a convenient location.
• Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessible location.

Electrical
Supply
Halogen and ribbon components operate on
240/208 volt, 60 Hz. Updraft grill and
downdraft grill components operate on 240
volt, 60 Hz. Gas and downdraft vent compo-
nents operate on 120 volt, 60 Hz. from a
separate junction box. A dedicated circuit,
protected by a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker is required for cooktops. The
downdraft vent requires an appliance circuit
with a time delay fuse of circuit breaker.
• If local codes permit, more than one cooktop
can be used on the same branch circuit. See
local codes or the National Electrical Code
for circuit demand loads.

These Nuts
Important: Pre-tap holes in downdraft joiner and
endcaps by driving supplied screws through
holes and then backing out before installation.
This will make the joining process easier.
• Replace endcap with downdraft joiner strip
using the same three nuts.
- If the vent is to be installed at the end of
the countertop opening, attach downdraft
endcap to that side.
• Place the downdraft vent and cooktop into the
cutout.
• Remove two screws fl'om the fl'ont of cooktop
chassis. Drive the two screws into holes below
the downdraft vent flange as shown. Use a
phillips screwdriver bit socket.
• If downdraft vent is installed at the end of the
cutout, secure the downdraft endcap to the
countertop by driving two phillips head screws
as shown,
• To finalize installation, proceed to "Securing
cooktop(s) to countertop.
• If additional cooktop (s) are to be installed,

Joining additional cooktop to downdraft vent
or to downdraf| grill
• Remove endcap on the side of the next
cooktop to be joined.
• Pre-tap holes in downdraft joiner and
endcaps by driving supplied screws through
holes and then backing out before
installation. This will make the joining
process easier.
• Attach downdraft joiner strip to cooktop.
• Loosen screws on hold-down brackets at
each end of cooktop. Extend the bracket to
reach the underside of the countertop.
Tighten screws.
• Drive a long screw (2 lengths are provided)
through the bracket until screw is tight
against the bottom of the countertop.
• Place cooktop next to downdraft vent in the
cutout.
• Drive two i)hillips head screws into pre-
tapped holes. Use a phillips screwdriver bit
socket.
• To install additional vent or cooktop (s),

Gas
• Install the supplied pressure regulator in gas
supply line as close to the cooktop irflet as
possible. Allowances for ventilation ducting
may be required.
- The regu later should be installed with the
arrow pointing in the direction of gas flow.
• Install a manual gas shut-off valve where it
will be easily reached. Be sure the user knows
where and how to shut off the gas supply.
• Appropriate flare union adapters are
required at each end of a flexible connector.
• Turn on the gas and check for leaks. Use a
liquid leak detector at all connections in the
system. A pressure test fitting is located on
the pressure regulator.
NOTE:If local codes permit, use 5foot AGA-
certified flexible metal gas supply line. 3/4"or 1/2"
I.D.to match gas supply line.
Donot use old,previously used flexible line.
