• This rangetop may be installed directly
adjacent to existing 36” (91.4 cm) high
base cabinets.
IMPORTANT: The top of the side trim
MUST be 3/8” (.95 cm) above the
adjacent base cabinet countertop.
• The rangetop CANNOT be installed
directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets,
tall appliances, or other side vertical
surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There
must be a minimum of 12” (30.5 cm) side
clearance from the rangetop to such
combustible surfaces above the 36”
(91.4 cm) counter height.
• Within the 12” (30.5 cm) side clearance
to combustible vertical surfaces above
36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabinet
depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall
cabinets within this 12” (30.5 cm) side
clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above
the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.
• Wall cabinets above the rangetop must be
a minimum of 58” (147.3 cm) above the
rangetop cooking surface for the full width
of the rangetop. This minimum height
requirement does not apply if a rangetop
hood is installed over the cooking surface.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
To avoid risk of personal injury;
the use of cabinets for storage
above the appliance may result
in a potential burn hazard. Combustible
items may ignite, metallic items may
become hot and cause burns. If a cabinet
storage is to be provided the risk can be
reduced by installing a rangehood that
projects horizontally a minimum 5” (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of cabinets.
Note: Based on 24” (61 cm) deep cabinet.
Note: 3” (7.6 cm) min. with backguard or
high shelf and combustible rear wall; 0”
backguard or high shelf and non-
combustible rear wall.
Note: If a rangetop hood is installed, wall
cabinets above the rangetop have a different
minimum clearance height.

non-combustible materials must be
approved by the authority having
jurisdiction.

Electrical Requirements
There is no connection necessary beyond
plugging the unit into a polarized,
grounded, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
The minimum of 102 VAC is required for
proper operation of gas ignition systems.
This circuit MUST be grounded and properly
polarized. The unit is equipped with a 16SPT2 power cord.
Gas Connection
This rangetop has a 3/4" (1.9 cm) ID NPT
(Sch40) inlet connection. The gas supply
(service) line may be reduced, but not to less
than ½” (1.3 cm) ID NPT. We recommend
the use of our 3/4" GAS CONNECTOR KIT,
GCKVGR. Sealant on all pipe joints must be
resistive to LP gas.
The rangetop is designed specifically for
natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas.
Before beginning installation, verify that
the model is compatible with the
intended gas supply.
Manual shut-off valve:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed
in the gas service line before the appliance
in the gas stream and in a location where it
can be reached quickly in the event of an
emergency. Any opening behind the
rangetop should be sealed.
In Massachusetts: A “T” handle type
manual valve must be installed in the gas
supply line to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required
must be performed by your dealer or a
qualified licensed plumber or gas service
company. Please provide the service person
with this manual before work begins.
Pressure Regulator:
• All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking
equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and
efficient operation, since service pressure
may fluctuate with local demand. External
regulators are not required on this
rangetop since a regulator is built into
each unit at the factory. Under no
condition bypass this built-in regulator.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with
a manometer, natural gas requires 5.0”
W.C.P. and LP gas requires 10.0” W.C.P.
Incoming line pressure upstream from the
regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than
the manifold pressure in order to check
the regulator. The regulator used on this
range can withstand a maximum input
pressure of 1/2” PSI (14.0” W.C.P.). If the
line pressure is in excess of that amount, a
step down regulator will be required.
• The appliance must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD
To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, personal injury or death;
verify electrical power is turned off at the
breaker box and gas supply is turned off
until the rangetop is installed and ready
to operate, installation by an authorized
installer only.
Electrical & Gas Requirements
11
Flexible Connections:
If the unit is to be installed with flexible
couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings,
the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA
design-certified flexible connector of at least
1/2” (1.3 cm) ID NPT (with suitable strain
reliefs) in compliance with ANSI Z21.41
and Z21.69.
In Canada: CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal
connectors for gas appliances and CAN
1-6.9 M79 quick disconnect devices for use
with gas fuel.
In Massachusetts: This appliance must be
installed with a 36” (3-foot) long flexible
gas connector.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNING
AND CAUTION INFORMATION
WHEN INSTALLING THIS APPLIANCE.
• All openings in the wall behind the
appliance and in the floor under the
appliance should be sealed.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
Moving, Handling, and Unpacking
Remove and discard all packing materials,
including cardboard and tape on the outside
of the rangetop.
Remove the burner grates, burner heads and
burner bases from the cardboard top pack
before discarding.
Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic
protective wrap which must be peeled off.
The interior should be washed thoroughly
with hot, soapy water to remove film
residues and any dust or debris before being
used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions
stronger than soap and water are rarely
needed.
BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn
hazard. Combustible items may ignite,
metallic items may become hot and
cause burns. If a 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.
CAUTION
This appliance shall not be used for
space heating. This information is based
on safety considerations.

Performance Checklist
A qualified installer should carry out the
following checks:
• Check top burner ignition.
See drawing for proper
flame height on HI. The low
flame should light at every
port.
Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be peeled off.
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each
cooling period and with liquid cleaner designed for this material when soapy water will not do
the job. If build-up occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, or abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders. If
it is necessary to scrape stainless steel surface to remove encrusted material, soak area with hot,
wet towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel surfaces.
Scratches are almost impossible to remove. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on
stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.

Proper alignment of Burner Head
When placing the burner head on the burner base,
carefully align the locator pin in the outer edge
below the burner ports with the small notch in the
top front edge of the burner base. This will align
the burner port with the ignitor. When properly
installed, the locator graphic will be aligned with
the ignitor and opposite the locator pin.
