Venting Requirements
IMPORTANT: This cooktop must be exhausted outdoors unless using the Duct-Free Filter Accessory Kit. See the “Venting Methods” section.
■■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
■■ Use a vent cap.
■■ Vent system must terminate to the outside.
■■ Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. For best performance, do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for the exhaust vent.
■■ Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
■■ The size of the vent should be uniform. ■■ The vent system must have a damper.
■■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
■■ Determine which venting method is best for your application.
For Best Performance:
■■ Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe fittings can reduce airflow. Flexible metal vent is not recommended.
NOTE: Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.
■■ Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel or 26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes. This reduction is based on information in the International Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).
■■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■■ If an elbow is used, install it as far away as possible from the vent motor exhaust opening.
■■ Make sure there is a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
■■ Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence that reduces airflow.
■■ Do not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a 6" (15.2 cm).
■■ Do not reduce to a 5" (12.7 cm) system after using 6" (15.2 cm).
■■ Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps may restrict airflow.
■■ Use a vent cap for proper performance. If an alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is not reduced and that it has a backdraft damper.
■■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is 60 ft (18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold airflow.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Gas Supply Line
■■ Provide a gas supply line of 3⁄4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should be 1/2" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■■ If local codes permit, use a 1/2" or 3/4" I.D. flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings should be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial/rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The cooktop and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
