■ The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its
side flanges.
■ The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in
“Installation Clearances” section so that they are accessible
without requiring removal of the cooktop.
■ Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as
shown to provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord,
and to allow the rating label to be visible.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your

Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do
not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
■ It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop base.
A. Model/serial rating plate
■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the range, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
NOTES:
After making the countertop cutout, some installations may
require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the
cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with
sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base
cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened
to avoid interfering with the regulator.

IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this cooktop be provided.
■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
■ The Tech Sheet provided is located inside the cooktop on the
left wall of the cooktop base.

Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
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

■ If local codes permit, use a ¹⁄₂" or ³⁄₄" I.D. flexible stainless
■ A ½" male pipe thread is needed for connection to the
■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.

Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
■ This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If
converting to LP gas, see the following “LP Gas Conversion”
section. The model/serial rating plate located on the
underside of the cooktop base has information on the types
of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not
include the type of gas available, check with the local gas
supplier.
LP Gas Conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas
Conversion instructions provided in the package containing
literature.

■ Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent
cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening
and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve
is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
A
B
C
D
E
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: 11" (27.9 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 are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
For elevations above 6,560 ft (1999.5 m) a high altitude kit is
needed to avoid any reduced power output. See separate LP gas
conversion instructions sheet.
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 shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
½ 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 shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.
1. Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the
cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is
parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is
needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching
the countertop.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base
ends. This is the recommended location. Clamping brackets
can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base
bottom, if necessary.
A. Attachment screw holes for optional front and back
location.
B. Clamping bracket (end locations recommended)
C. Cooktop base bottom
D. Attachment screw
E. Attachment screw location (recommended)
2. The clamping brackets can be installed before or after the
cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following
