IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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/NFPA54--1atest edition 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/
NCSBCSA225.1 or with local codes where applicable.
This cooktop 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.
Air curtain or other overhead hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall
not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listen by an independent test laboratory
for use in combination with each other.
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 1.
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.
Excessiveflame 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 result in serious
injury or death.

Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4"
(10.2 cm) of manifold pressure only.
A pressure regulator is 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" (35.6 cm) of
water column (W.C.) pressure.
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. The regulator is set for 4"
(10.2 cm) of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must
be at least 5" (12.7 cm).
The gas supply line to the appliance should be 1/2" (1.3
cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) pipe.
Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the
regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position
where you can reach the access cap.
_J__ Do not make the connection too
tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack
the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.

Flexible Connector
All connections must be wrench-tightened
Figure 5
Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in the followinc order:
1. manual shutoff valve
2. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
3. 1/2" (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
4. flexible connector
5. 1/2" (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
6. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
7. pressure regulator
Use pipe-joint 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.
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 LPgas is supplied with your
cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANEGAS
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.
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
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
closing. Do not
block access to
the shutoff valve.
The valve is for
turning on or
shutting off gas
to the appliance.

Preferred Method
Grounding
type wall
receptacle
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass
the grounding
prong.
\
/
Do not use a flame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment of control knob valves after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment
could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff
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 or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).
Electrical Requirements
120 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 Pleaseread carefully.
For personal safety, this 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 7) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the
appliance.
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Power supply
cord with 3-prong
grounding plug.
Figure 7
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.
Disconnect electrical supply cord from
wall receptacle before servicing cooktop.
Cooktop Installation
1. Visually inspect the cooktop for damage.
2. If you are installing the optional Stainless Steel
backsplash, first fix it at the back of the cooktop
using the screws supplied with the kit and follow the
instructions attached.
3. Set the cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Do not use caulking compound; cooktop should
be removable for service when needed.
Check Operation
Refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with the
cooktop for operating instructions and for care and
cleaning of your cooktop.
_Do not touch the burners. They may
be hot enough to cause burns.
1.Install Burner Caps
Round Style Burners
This cooktop is equipped with sealed burners. All pieces
are at their place. Take note where they are. Remove
all packaging material. Make sure the burner caps are
properly aligned and leveled. The burner cap lip (See Fig.
8) should fit snug into the center of burner head and
rest level. Refer to Figs. 9 & 10 for correct and incorrect
burner cap placement. Once in place, you may check the
fit by gently sliding the burner cap from side to side (Fig.
