This symbol will alert you to hazards or unsafe practices which could cause bodily injury or property damage.

• Be sure the wall coverings around the cooktop can

withstand heat generated by the cooktop up to 200 °F.

• Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop. To minimize the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over the cooktop that projects

forward at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Install above the cooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4”

between the hood and the underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood

surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

• If cabinets are located above the cooktop, allow a minimum clearance of 30” between the cooking

surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

• If a 30” clearance between cooking surface and

overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the

cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4”

insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not

less than 0.0122” thick. Clearance between the

cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST

NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

• The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking

surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead

cabinets extending closer than 1” to the plane of the cooktop sides must not be less than 18”. (See

the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this

manual.)

• Do not abstruct the combustion or ventilation air.

• Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

CAUTION: Items of interest to

children should not be placed in cabinets above the cooktop.

- children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING: This appliance must

not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the cooktop. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

NOTE: The retainer brackets MUST be installed to meet local codes or, in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, latest edition.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY

This cooktop is designed to operate at a pressure of

5” of water column on natural gas or 10” of water

column on LP, propane or butane gas.

Make sure you are supplying your cooktop with the type of gas for which it is designed.

This cooktop is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. When using this cooktop on LP gas,

conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer

before attempting to operate the cooktop on that gas.

For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas

supplied to the regulator should be between 5” and 13” of water column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between

10” and 13” of water column.

When checking for correct operation of the regulator,

the inlet pressure must be at least 1” more than the

operating -manifold- pressure as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the cooktop manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect

the cooktop to the gas supply line must have an I.D.

of 5/8” and can be 3 feet max. in length for easy installation. In Canada, flexible connectors should be

single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.

2. CONNECT THE COOKTOP TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooktop and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the cooktop, the use of a CSA International-certified

flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never reuse an old connector when installing a new cooktop. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the cooktop cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, all

male -external- pipe threads.

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas

line in an easily accessed location outside of the cooktop. Be sure everyone operating the cooktop knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the cooktop.

Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2”

NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to prevent damage.

Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to the

NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

Connect a flexible metal connector to the adapter

on the cooktop. Position the cooktop to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

When all connections have been made, be sure

all cooktop controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks by using manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn the gas

supply on to the cooktop on and use a liquid leak

detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Tighten all connections, if necessary, to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

WARNING!:

DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures

more than 1/2 psig(3.5kPa).

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test

pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig(3.5kPa)

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated

circuit protected by a 15 A or 20 A circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

GROUNDING

IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY

GROUNDED.

PREFERRED METHOD

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The power cord of this appliance should be equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with

a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to reduce the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and

circuit checked by a qualified technician to be sure

the receptacle is properly grounded.

When connecting the cord of this cooktop to a standard two-prong wall receptacle, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

A word about Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters –

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are not required or

recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the customer.

The National Electrical Code requires the use of

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the cooktop will not be affected if it is operated from a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters protected circuit but occasional nuisance can occur.
