• Within the 6” (15.2 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 6” (15.2 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 42” (106.7 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.

must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm)
clearance from rear of rangetop to a
combustible wall. Clearances from
non-combustible materials are not
part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and
are not certi ed by CSA. Clearances
to non-combustible materials
must be approved by the authority
having jurisdiction.

Electrical & Gas Requirements
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 120 VAC is required for proper operation of gas
ignition systems. This circuit MUST be grounded and properly
polarized. The unit is equipped with a 16-SPT2 power cord.
Gas Connection
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than
the inlet line of the appliance. This rangetop uses a 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID
NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP
gas.
The rangetop is designed speci cally for natural gas or liquid
propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation, verify that the model
is compatible with the intended
gas supply.
Manual shut-o 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.
To avoid risk of personal injury or death;
• DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal
injury or death; verify electrical power is
turned o at the breaker box and gas supply is
turned o until the rangetop is installed and ready to
operate, installation by an authorized installer only.
WARNING
Electrical shock hazard
DANGER
GAS LEAK HAZARD
leak testing of the appliance must be
conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Before placing appliance in
operation, always check for gas leaks with
soapy water solution.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a quali ed 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
e cient operation, since service pressure may uctuate 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.

Flexible Connections:
If the unit is to be installed with exible couplings and/or quickdisconnect ttings, the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA
design-certi ed exible 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” (3foot) long exible gas connector.

General Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNING AND CAUTION INFORMATION WHEN
INSTALLING THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING
• All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the oor under the
appliance should be sealed.
• Do not obstruct the ow 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 and styrofoam o the top cooking surface.
Be sure to remove the burner caps packaged in styrofoam below the
burner grates.
• Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which
must be peeled o . The interior should be washed thoroughly with hot,
soapy water to remove lm residues and any dust or debris before being
used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and
water are rarely needed.
Installation
Note: Refer to rangetop electrical
& gas requirements section for
proper installation information.
Moving hazard
To avoid risk of severe personal injury;
this appliance requires two or more
personnel while handling and moving.
Possible use of appliance moving
devices is recommended.
1
Connect gas and electrical in shaded area.
See the “Electrical & Gas Requirements” section
for more information.
2
Slide rangetop into place.

Final Preparation
Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be peeled o .
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.
Performance Checklist
