Granite countertops

For granite countertops, the support bars, b, can be secured with double sided tape or construction adhesive. Do not allow the bars to "float", they must be securely fastened. Fill the gap, c, between the bars and the countertop using the supplied silicon sealant.

The screws are not necessary for granite countertops.

A granite countertop must be prepared with a hole drilled at the position indicated, d, to secure each support bracket (see illustration).

Using a piece of double sided tape or construction adhesive press the support brackets supplied, a, into the position indicated in the illustration, flush with the top edge of the countertop. Secure each bracket with one screw.

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.

Installation

Setting the cooktop into place

Screw the gas regulator onto the

nipple underneath the cooktop. Guide the power cord through the cut

out and set the cooktop into place. Secure the cooktop from below by

placing the two supplied screws through the center elongated holes of the support brackets and screwing them into the bottom of the cooktop.

Installation

Important

The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.

If the cooktop is sealed into position, the countertop or the appliance may be damaged if the cooktop needs to be removed for maintenance or service.

Electrical connection

This appliance must be electrically grounded according to local or national codes. All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local codes and the:

- National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70 for the USA

- Canadian Electrical Code Part I for Canada (CSA Standard C 22.1).

WARNING - Disconnect the

appliance from the main power supply before installation or service. To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure that the appliance is properly grounded after installation.

Power supply

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to prevent shock hazards. It should be plugged directly into a properly grounded outlet. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy, of an effective grounding system.

The automatic ignition requires that the cooktop be connected to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power supply. The supply line should be protected by a 15 A breaker.

Actual power consumption (during ignition only) is 25 W.

This appliance is equipped with a 4 ft. (1.2 m) long power cord that is ready for connection to the appropriate outlet.

Please place the power outlet so that it is accessible after the appliance has been installed in the countertop.

Note to the installer

Gas connection

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

In Massachusetts a licensed plumber/gas fitter is required.

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 to turn on or shut off the gas supply after the appliance is installed.

This appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing performed in excess of

/2psi (3.5 kPa), or isolated from the gas line by closing its individual manual shut off valve at test pressures equal to or less than

/2psi (3.5 kPa).

The gas connection must be made in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with

- the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 21.1/NFPA 54 for the USA

- the current Can/CGA B 149.1 and .2 Installation Codes for gas burning appliances for Canada.

Make sure that the maximum gas supply pressure before the gas pressure regulator is never more than

/2psi for both natural gas or LP gas.

The minimum supply pressure to get the required gas input is 6" w.c. for natural gas: 10" w.c. for LP gas.

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.

Gas connection

Gas pressure regulator

A pressure regulator that is convertible from natural to LP gas (Propane) or vice versa is included with the appliance. The included regulator corresponds with the gas type of the cooktop. Verify before installing.

The adjusted pressure is: natural gas - 4" w.c. LP gas - 10" w.c.

For convenience, an AGA or CGA approved flexible stainless steel gas hose (accordion type) may be used between the gas connection and the regulator. This will allow the appliance to be lifted out of the countertop for cleaning or servicing. Make sure that any drawers, cabinet doors, etc., do not rub on this gas hose.

Do not use any regulator unless it has been supplied by Miele. Doing so may cause a gas leak.
