BASIC SPECIFICATIONS

1. Before beginning, please read these instructions completely and carefully.

2. Do not remove per manently affixed labels, warnings, or plates from product. This may void the warranty.

3. Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances.

4. Please ensure that this product is properly grounded.

5. The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should retain for local inspector’s use
and for future reference.

Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or the
latest edition. In Canada: Installation must be in accordance with the current CAN/CGA B149.1 & 2 Gas Installation
codes and/or local codes. Electrical installation must be in accordance with the current CSAC22.1 Canadian Electrical
Codes Part 1 and/or local codes.

Installation of any gas-fired equipment should be made by a licensed plumber. A manual gas shut-off valve must be
installed in the gas supply line ahead of the cooktop in the gas stream for safety and ease of service.

In Massachusetts: All gas products must be installed by a “Massachusetts” licensed plumber or gasfitter. A “T” handle
type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the appliance.

1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

2. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•Do not try to light any appliance.

•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone

in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s

phone.

•Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire

department.

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

WARNING

If not installed, operated and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
this product could expose you to substances in
fuel or from fuel combustion which can cause
death or serious illness and which are known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm.

WARNING: IF THE INFORMATION IN THIS

MANUAL IS NOT FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
DEATH.

For example, benzene is a chemical which is
part of the gas supplied to the cooking
product. It is consumed in the flame during
combustion. However exposure to a small
amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak
occurs. Formaldehyde and soot are by­products of incomplete combustion. Properly
adjusted burners with a bluish rather than
yellow flame will minimize incomplete
combustion.

WARNING!!

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The cooktop must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of codes, with the
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition. Installation should be made by a licensed electrician. This appliance is equipped with
a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power plug.

surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be a minimum of 8” (20.3 cm) side clearance from the cooktop to
such combustible surfaces above the 36” (91.4 cm) counter height.

3. Within the 8” (20.3 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 8” (20.3 cm) side clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm)
above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.

4. Wall cabinet above the cooktop must be a minimum of 36” (91.4 cm) above the countertop for a full width of the
