Warranty
This warranty is extended to the original purchaser and succeeding owners for
products purchased for ordinary home use. It does not cover its use in com-
mercial situation. Should the appliance be sold by the original purchaser during
the warranty period, the new owner continued to be protected until the expi-
ration date of the original purchaser’s warranty period. Save your dated receipt
or other evidence of the installation/occupancy date. Proof of original purchase
date is needed to obtain service under warranty. The warranty applies even if
the owner should move during the warranty period.
Küppersbusch does not assume any responsibility for consequential or inci-
dental damages. This warranty provides you with certain legal rights. You may
also have other rights which may vary from state to state.
What Is Covered
For one full year from the date of the original purchase, we will provide parts,
service and labor in your home to repair or replace any part of the cook top
that fails because of a defect in materials or workmanship. This service is pro-
vided free of charge. All warranty service will be provided by an authorized
technician during normal business hours.

Service by an unauthorized agency will not be reimbursed. Likewise, the
warranty doesn’t cover any damage or repairs due to service performed by
an unauthorized agency, or by the use of unauthorized parts.

Service visits to correct the installation. You are responsible for providing

abuse or installation not in accordance with local electrical codes, or im-
proper storage of the appliance.

Disposing of the packaging and
the old appliance
Be sure to dispose of the transport packaging properly. Disposal should not
have a negative impact on the environment. Recycling the packaging saves
raw materials and reduces the amount of waste.
Be sure to dispose of your old appliance properly, as well. Even if it can no
longer be used, it still contains useful materials. Before discarding an old ap-
pliance, disconnect the power cord and remove the door to prevent it from
becoming a hazard.

Safety instructions
The instructions must be reviewed with the customer before instal-
lation is complete.
The appliance may only be operated with LP gas (Liquid Propane).
The appliance can be converted to run on Natural gas. The conver-
sion can only be carried out by the Küppersbusch Service staff.
Please ask them for help.
Your appliance should only be installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. Likewise, a qualified gas range or service technician
should perform any adjustment and service.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Information regarding settings for the appliance are listed in these
operating instructions. You may also find them on an information or
identification plate on the appliance itself.
Only use the pressure regulator which is supplied with this appliance.
Don’t install or use this appliance in a mobil home.
Caution! Check whether the details on the identification plate match
with the local connection conditions (type of gas and gas pressure) and
with the settings of the appliance. If you notice any discrepancies, the
appliance must be converted accordingly by Küppersbusch Service!
The use of a gas cooker causes heat and humidity to build up in the
room where the appliance is installed. As a result, the appliance
should be installed in a well ventilated room.
If the connection plug isn’t accessible, safety measures should be
used with line-protecting cutouts, fuses or contactors with contact
opening at least 3 mm (1/8 inches) wide.
Maintenance and repair work on the appliance must be performed
by a trained technician. The power supply and the gas supply should
always be turned off during repairs or connection. To avoid potential
safety hazards, make sure all installation, service and maintenance
has been performed according to guidelines.
Make sure all connections between the appliance and the cylinder
are tight and leak-proof.
Make sure the freely laid supply hoses aren't placed on the cook top
and can't be jammed or wedged.
This appliance must be earthed.
Don't lift the cook top out of the recess with a screwdriver or you
could damage the frame of the cook top. Press the cook top out of
the recess from underneath to remove it.
This appliance must be grounded into a 120-volt grounded outlet.
Do not remove the round grounding plug from the plug. It is your
personal responsibility to make sure you have a properly grounded
three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
This appliance is not connected to a pipe for extracting combustion
products. It must be installed and connected according to the appli-
cable installation conditions. It’s very important to provide appropriate
ventilation.
No modifications should be made to the appliance without the explicit
consent of the manufacturer.
A shut-off valve must be installed within less than 3' of appliance. A
maximum of 3' flex connection is allowed between the valve and the
appliance.
The shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the
gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
Do not cover the vents where fumes can escape.
The maximum gas supply pressure in accordance with the inlet pres-
sure rating of the gas appliance pressure regulator supplied (10 inch
water column) is 13 inch water column.
Installation
Requirements for installation
Your appliance should be installed in a room large enough that fresh air
ventilation can be provided by either a window or a door.
All setting data for the appliance is listed in these operating instructions.
You can also find them on an information place or identification plate on the
appliance.
The cook top must be built into an opening in the counter top. This opening
must be prepared according to the installation dimensions specified below.
The counter top must be aligned horizontally. Make a clean cut into it for
the opening.
There must be no cross bars beneath the opening. They should be cut back
to at least the size of the opening in the worktop.
Protect all cut surfaces of the counter top with a coat of waterproof paint.
Additional space for the gas connection is required below the cook top.
The wall connection strip must be made of heat-resistant material and must
have no sockets in the area around the cook top. Use a support strip made
of plastic with a covering strip made of aluminum. The lateral part on the
counter top must not be longer than one inch.
The wall above the wall connection strip in the area around the appliance
must be made of non-flammable material. Do not use wood, plastic, PVC,
foil etc.
During normal use, very high temperatures may affect the surrounding items
of furniture. Protect all plastic finish or veneer of built-in kitchen furnishings
with a heat-resistant adhesive (100°C/225°F).
Gasket
Before installing the cook top and any time that it’s removed, the gasket
should be checked for signs of damage and to make sure it fits perfectly.
If necessary, put in a new gasket. Don’t use any additional adhesives like
silicone, because plastic-coated counter tops can be damaged when the
cook top is removed.
Exception: Uneven counter tops (i.e. ceramic tiles) require a gasket made
of a heat-resistant, permanently elastic sealing material (i.e. with silicone,
suitable for ceramic surfaces). Only apply this sealing material around the
edge of the cook top. Don’t apply the sealing mass underneath the cook
top onto the counter top or the work surface will be damaged when the
cook top is removed.
Installation dimensions
The distances at the front, rear and sides of the cook top opening must
conform to the measurements shown in the drawing. The edges at the front
and the rear are based on a counter top depth of 600 mm (23-5/8”). The
rear edge will be wider for counter tops of greater depth.
High cupboards located at the side of the cook top should be located at
least 300 mm (12") away.
Hoods and cabinets above the cook top should be at least 650 mm (26")
away from the cook top.The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the
cooking top is 330 mm (13 inches).
