30" (76.2 CM) GAS DOWNDRAFT COOKTOP
PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS CUTOUT DIMENSIONS
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 “LP Gas Conversion” instructions provided in the package containing
literature. 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.
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.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an inline 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.
●
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 must be accessible without removing the cooktop,
and 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.

CABINET DIMENSIONS
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.
●
A minimum side clearance of 6" (15.2 cm) is recommended between
side of cooktop and side wall for maximum ventilation performance.
●
A minimum clearance of 2" (5.1 cm) is recommended between the
motor/blower and cabinet for proper cooling. A 6" (15.2 cm)
clearance is recommended for servicing access.
