future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRI

Installation of these cooktops must conform with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National

Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1--1atest edition.

These cooktops has been design certified by CSA
International. As with any appliance using gas and
generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you

should follow. You will find them in the Use and Care
Guide, read it carefully.

• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

• These cooktops must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,

with the National EJectricaJ Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--Jatest edition. See grounding instructions

farther in this manual

• The installation of appliances designed for

manufactured (mobile} home installation must
conform with Manufactured Home Construction

and Safety Standard Title 24CFR, Part 3280

[Formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, (Part 280)]
or when such standard is not applicable the

Standard for Manufactured Home installation 1982
(Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-

Ups), ANSI Z225.1/NFPA 501-A- latest edition, or
with local codes,

• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the cooktop° Children could be

seriously burned climbing on the cooktop to reach

items.

• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners

should be avoided.

• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensit.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

• Never use your cooktop for warming or heating
the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop without
adequate ventilation can be hazardous.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

The electrical power to the cooktop

must be shut off while gas line connections are
being made. Failure to do so could resutt in
serious injury or death.

Safety Measures o Gas Surface Units

Your new cooktop has been tested to meet the most

rigid safety standards. You can feel confident while using

it but use these safety suggestions to help avoid
accidents that can cause injury to the user or damage to
the cooktop.
Note: All safety measures listed may apply to your

model.

• Plug the unit into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do
not remove the grounding prong from the plug. If in
doubt about the grounding of tile home electrical
system, it is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the owner to contact a qualified electrician and
have an ungrounded receptacle replaced by a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle, in accordance

with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this unit.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the unit unless
specifically recommended in this guide. Call a
qualified technician for all other servicing.

• Clean only the parts of tile cooktop as instructed in the
Use and Care Guide.

• Be certain all packing materials are removed from the
unit before operating to prevent fire or smoke
damage, should the packing material ignite.

Ventilating Hoods

• Clean ventilating hood frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood turn the fan off.
Tile fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

Safety on the Cooktop

Do not allow dry empty pans to heat on the cooktop as
this could ruin the pan and cause a fire hazard.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if it is
equipped with a round metal support placed over the
burner grate. This support acts as a heat trap which
may damage the burner grate, drip bowls and burner
head. It may also cause the burner to work improperly

and create a carbon monoxide hazard.

When lowering the cooktop be careful not to pinch

your fingers. Grasp sidesof the top with fingertips and
lower into position.

important: Please Read Before Continuing

This appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during

any pressure testing of that system exceeding Y2psig.

This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
pipping system by (losing its individual manual shutoff

valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system equal to or lessthan Y2psig.

Unit Clamp Down information
Once the cooktop is installed and centered in the
counter opening, you must (:lamp the unit down as
shown. To (:lamp down, insert the offset side of the
angle bracket into the slots on each side of the unit.

Then run the thumb screw through the bracket and

up against the bottom of the counter. Tighten until

the unit draws down (figure 4).

3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

The cooktop covered in these installation instructions is
designed to operate on natural gas at 4" (10.2 cm) of

manifold pressure or on LP gas at 10" (25.4 cm) of
manifold pressure.

ManuaH GAS FLOW Pressu re
Shutoff Hare _€_ Hare ReguHator

Valve Union Union

A convertible pressure regulator is supplied with each
surface unit and MUST BECONNECTED IN SERIES

between the supply line and the valve manifold
regardless of which type of gas is being used.

The convertible regulator for the surface units must be
located and turned in such manner to allow for easy

access to the convertible feature.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator must not exceed 14"' (35.6 cm) of water

column (W.C.) pressure for both LPand Natural Gas.

For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1" (2.5 cm) (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator

manifold pressure setting. If the regulator isset for 4"
(10.2 cm) of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must

be at least 5"(12.7 cm). If the regulator is set for 10"
(25.4 cm), the inlet pressure must be at least 11" (27.9

cm),

Tile gas supply line to the cooktops should be Y2" (!.3
cm) or 3A" (1.9 cm) pipe.

4. Connection to gas

IMPORTANT: Remove all packing material and literature
from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical supply
to the appliance.

On_ Nipplet r i t

Off Connector

All connections must be wrench4ightened

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the following order:

1. manual shutoff valve

2. 1/2" nipple

3. 1/2" flare union adapter

4. flexible connector

5. 1/2" flare union adapter

6. 1/2" nipple

7. pressure regulator

Use pipe-ioint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible

connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the

same room as the cooktop and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and (:losing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.

Flexible NuppeAccess

installed.

Install Pressure Regulator

Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on tile
regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where
you can reach the access cap.

Do not make tile connection too tight.

The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may (:rack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

Open position

Figure 7

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through tile gas line.

Check for teaks_ After connecting cooktop gas, check
system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is
not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid
leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and

connections to check for leaks.

1. Remove valve knobs, top grates, burner pans
and lift cooktop to gain access to valves. Lo(ate
valve hoods (orifices) on back side of valves.

2a. To convert burner valves from Natural Gas

to LP Gas, use a wrench to turn valve hoods
(orifices) down until snug against the mixer pin
(approximately 2 _/2turns). Do not overtighten.

2b. To convert burner valves from LP Gas to

Natural Gas, use a wrench to turn valve hoods
(orifices) up until they are clearly away from the

mixer pin (approximately 2 Y2turns).

3. Apply gas to the burner and adjust air shutter on
burner venturi tube to proper flame (refer to
pictures in "Burner Flame Adjustment" section
for comparison).
