IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

The minimum distances given in these Installation instructions are to combustible surfaces, and must be observed to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.

The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop.

Gas appliances should only be

installed in a well ventilated area.

The countertop must be bonded

with heat resistant (212°F/100°C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving. Any wall coverings must be heat resistant as well.

This appliance must not be used in

a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

Deep fat fryers must not be installed

directly next to gas cooktops. Gas flames can ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 11 should be maintained between these two appliances.

The cooktop must not be installed

over a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage the appliances.

Install the appliance so that the

power cord or gas piping does not come into contact with any portion of the cooktop which may become hot during use.

/4" (300 mm)

The power cord and a flexible gas

connection line must be attached in such a way that they are not in contact with moving parts of kitchen elements (e.g. a drawer) and are not subject to mechanical stress.

The safety distances listed on the

following pages must be carefully maintained.

Never use a sealant unless

expressly stipulated. The sealing tape of the appliance ensures adequate sealing to the countertop.

This appliance must be installed with its own shut off valve and the included gas pressure regulator. Both the valve and the regulator must be easily accessible to the consumer after the appliance is installed.

This appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system performed in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). This appliance must be isolated at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Any pipe connections must be made using a thread sealant approved for gas connections. Failure to correctly install these items could lead to a gas leak and subsequent explosion.

In Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber/gas fitter.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety distances above the appliance

The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be maintained between the cooktop and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of the hood for these safety measurements.

If the hood manufacturers instructions are not available or if flammable objects are installed over the cooktop (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance of 30" (760 mm) must be maintained.

If there are several appliances beneath a hood, and they have different minimum safety distances always observe the greatest distance.
