Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with installation clearances specified on the serial/rating plate. The serial/rating plate is located on the bottom of the cooktop.
Check the location where the cooktop will be installed. The location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong, heating vents or fans. The cooktop should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.
ALL OPENINGS IN THE WALL OR FLOOR WHERE THE COOKTOP IS TO BE INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical requirements”.
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See “Gas supply requirements”.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or electrical shock.

The clearances specified are for combustible walls and materials that have a density of 20 or more pounds per cubic foot. No evaluation of clearances has been made for installations adjacent to materials that are less than 20 pounds per cubic foot or to plastic tiles and sheeting.
Countertop opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances and provide the required 0” clearance.
Mobile home installation:
The installation of this cooktop must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFB, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280), or when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set­Ups), ANSI A225.1 -latest edition, or with local codes.
Copies of the standards listed above may be obtained from:

Fire Hazard Do Not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Personal Injury Hazard Avoid installing cabinet storage above the cooking surface. If cabinets are already installed, reduce the hazard of
reaching
over a heated cooking surface by installing a range hood. The range hood should extend a minimum of 5 inches out from the bottom front of the cabinets. Reaching over a heated cooking surface could result in a serious bum or other personal injury.
Electrical Shock Hazard It is the customer’s responsibility:
n To contact a qualified electrical
installer.
n To assure that electrical
installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSYNFPA 70­latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinance.
Failure to do so could result in fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.

Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Fire Hazard
. Cooktop must be connected to a
regulated gas supply.
. Do Not use an open flame to test
for leaks from
gas connections.
. New, A.G.A. design-certified,
flexible gas line should be used when codes permit.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire, explosion or other personal injury.

n
Input ratings shown on the serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
C
n
This cooktop is equipped for use with NATURAL gas. It is design­certified by A.G.A. for NATURAL and L.P. gas with appropriate conversion.
The serial/rating plate, located on the bottom of the cooktop, has information on the type of gas than can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, see your Roper dealer.
D
n
Provide a aas
SUDD~V
line of 314” rigid pipe to t<e coo-Gob location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds, resistant to the action of NATURAL and L.P. gas, must be used.
E
n
If local codes and ordinances permit, A.G.A.-design-certified, new flexible metal tubing is recommended for connecting cooktop to the to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible tubing when moving the cooktop. A l/2” male pipe thread is needed for connection to
pressure regulator female pipe threads.
I’ n The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same
room as
the
range
and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not
block access to shutoff valve.
w If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply fine, acombination of 111 pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so the cooktop will be level and in line.
H
n
The regulator must be checked at a minimum of l-inch water column above the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation:
NATURAL GAS: Set pressure 7 inches Maximum pressure 14 inches
L.P. GAS: Set pressure 11 inches Maximum pressure 14 inches
I
n
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (gauge) ­The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than l/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (gauge) ­The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual, manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.5kPa).
