Installation of this cooktop must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the United States, or in Canada, with the Canadian Fuel Gas Code, CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

• When installed in a manufactured (mobile)

home installation must conform with

the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, title 24 CFR, 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, ANSI/

NCSBCS A225.1 or with local codes where

applicable.

This cooktop has been design certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). 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.

This cooktop must be electrically grounded

in accordance with local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code

ANSi/NFPA No. 70--latest edition in the United States, or in Canada, with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part

• The burners can be lit manually during an electrical power outage. To light a burner,

hold a lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the Surface Control knob to

LITE. Use caution when lighting burners

manually.

DO NOT store items of interest to children in 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

utensil. 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.

Provide an Adequate Gas Supply

This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" of manifold pressure only.

A pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 14" of water column (W.C.) pressure.

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

pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5".

The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/ Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS

CONVERSION".

The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the kit instructions

and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work

assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Failure to make the appropriate

conversion can result in serious personal injury and property damage.

NOTE: Purchase a new flexible line. DO NOT USE AN OLD PREVIOUSLY USED LINE.

Important: Remove all packing material and literature from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical

supply to cooktop.

The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is

properly grounded. Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed,

it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded

3-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Model and Serial Number Location

The serial plate is located on the underside of the cooktop.

When ordering parts for or making inquires about your cooktop, always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate of your cooktop.

Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners, the type of fuel and the pressure the cooktop was adjusted for when it left the factory.

Electrical Requirements

]20 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded

branch circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. DO NOT use an extension cord with this cooktop.

Grounding instructions IMPORTANT Please read carefully.

For personal safety, fhls appliance must

be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 4) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from

the appliance.

_ Disconnect electrical supply cord from

wall receptacle before servicing cooktop.

Positioning the Cooktop

The exhaust vent from the cooktop must be located between wall studs or floor joists so that the ductwork may be installed properly

Prepare Base Cabinet

This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety of cabinets. However, some cabinets may require

modifications.

Preparing a Cabinet with Drawers

If the cabinet has drawers, the drawers must be removed and the drawer fronts attached to the front of the cabinet.

Verify internal length and width of base cabinet In some cabinets, the sides or back wall may need to be cut out, and the corner braces removed in order to

accommodate the unit.

Counterfop Cutout

Countertops with a rolled front edge and radius at the base of the backsplash may not provide the fiat surface

area required to accommodate the cooktop. Cut countertop opening according to the dimensions

shown in Figure 2. The opening must be cut squarely with sides parallel to each other, front and rear perpendicular to the sides.

Installing the Ductwork

Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6" round or 3½" x 10" size, or a combination of both. PVC duct should

be used if installing under a poured concrete slab. Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible. For satisfactory performance, the duct run should not exceed 100 feet equivalent length. Refer to the "Calculating Duct Length" chart for equivalent lengths. (see page 14). All duct joints should be fastened with a screw and sealed with tape as shown in Figure 5.

NOTE: Local building code must be followed in specifying approved type and schedule of ALL duct used. Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with damper.

wall studs or floor joists. Figure 9, 10, 11 & 12. NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented to outside. DO NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any

concealed space.

When cutting or drilling into wall or
