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.

†®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont Nemours and Company.

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.

●

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 provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

●

The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base approved installation label for your cooktop model number and approved combinations of cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven. Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.

●

Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout dimensions.

●

The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans.

●

All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be installed must be sealed.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination

above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

NOTES: After you make 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: If an undercounter built-in wall oven is to be installed below this cooktop, the grounded outlet (H) and gas supply piping must be located in an adjacent cabinet.

This cooktop and its gas and electrical supply sources must be installed before the undercounter built-in wall oven is installed.
