installation without an undercounter wall oven
Review Minimum Clearances to Combustible
Surfaces for final cooktop clearances and
Ductwork Location section prior to preparing
countertop. Wall oven cutout must be a
minimum of 4 1/2 inches from the top of the
countertop for a cooktop installation. When
appropriate place is found meeting these
requirements, measure cabinet area and
prepare it according to the illustration below.

DUCTWORK
To install ductwork without a wall oven,refer to
Installing Without a Wall Oven instructions.

Duct Locations
Cooktop can be vented vertically or horizontally.
If vented horizontally vent air through left or rear
wall.
If vented vertically, inner edge of the vent
must be a minimum of 3/4-inch away from
the wall oven.
Venting must be measured from centerline (CL)
of ductwork to centerline (CL) of cooktop cutout.

Duct Connection
Always vent outside. Do not vent into an attic or
crawl space.
Ducting cutout should be 3 1/2 " x 10 1/2 ".
Blower exhaust faces towards rear wall from
factory.
Blower can be changed to exhaust to left.
To vent out left side, remove vent filler piece
and move to the rear of the blower.
Refer to Duct Length Calculations for proper
duct length.
Connect blower exhaust to ducting with
standard 3 1/4 x 10-inch duct.
Do not install 2 elbow fittings next to each
other. This creates unusual air patterns and
can result in poor ventilation.
Seal all joints in venting system with duct tape
to avoid smoke or odor in home.
Do not use laundry wall caps. Wall cap must
have minimum of 28 square inches free air
space. Use Amana wall cap model CC30 or
equivalent.

CONNECT GAS
SUPPLY
Cooktop is designed for
natural gas ONLY.
3Gas Connection
Connect gas supply to regulator using hard pipe or flexible connector
(check local codes). Pressure regulator supplied with this appliance has a
1/2 inch NPT female connection.
A manual shutoff, not supplied with cooktop, must be installed in an
accessible location outside of cooktop.
Connector must be AGA/CGA design certified.
Verify oven shutoff valve is in the ON position.
Use supplied pressure regulator only.
Do not overtighten gas fitting when attaching to pressure regulator.
Overtightening may crack regulator.
Support pressure regulator with wrench when installing gas fitting.
Refer to Naitonal Fuel Gas Code or local codes for supply pipe size
requirements to assure sufficient gas supply to unit.
Testing for Gas Leaks
After final gas connection is made,
turn on manual gas valve and test
all connections in gas supply piping
and cooktop for gas leaks. Leak
testing of the appliance shall be
conducted according to the
manufacturers instructions.
1. Place soap suds on connection.
Bubbles appear if leak is
present.
2. If bubbles appear, shut off gas
supply valve.
3. Tighten joint if leak is at factory
fitting.
If leak is not at factory fitting,
unscrew, apply more joint
compound, and tighten to
correct leak.
4. Retest connection for leak after
tightening.
Retest any connections that
were disturbed.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious burns or other personal injury caused
by reaching over heated surface burner, avoid locating
storage cabinets above surface burners. If cabinet
storage is located above cooktop, install a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
beyond the cabinet bottom to reduce the risk.
WARNING
!
To avoid the risk of serious burns or other personal
injury, do not store items of interest to children above
or behind cooktop. Children climbing on cooktop to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Surfaces
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or
death, make sure cooktop has been properly
grounded and always disconnect it from main power
supply before any servicing.
To avoid property damage or personal injury, do not
use LP/Propane gas to fuel this cooktop. Cooktop is

Consider Description
Location
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
Use dimensions shown in this manual to determine space needed for
installation.
Cooktop must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather.
Specialty Countertop Materials
Refer to manufacturer’s product information for instructions on handling specialty
countertop materials such as tile or ceramic. Countertop must be level for proper
cooktop installation.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical Supply
Cooktop needs a dedicated 120 volt, 60 hertz, 3 prong receptacle protected by a
15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. A qualified electrician should confirm
the outlet is properly polarized and grounded. Wiring system and grounding
must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. Installation must conform to all
local, municipal and state building codes, and local utility regulations. Connect
cooktop to power supply with MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE listed on the rating
plate. Line voltage must not exceed rated voltage. Cooktop includes a 4-foot
power cord attached to bottom of cooktop at back, right corner
If a 2 prong outlet is encountered, cooktop owner must replace the outlet before
using the range. Do not cut off the cord, use a plug adapter or extension cord, or
remove grounding plug. Electrical supply should not converge on gas supply. Do
not ground electrical supply to gas lines.
Gas Requirements Gas Supply
Installation must conform with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 or CAN1-B149.1 or B149.2 for gas burning appliances and
equipment. Installation must conform to all local, municipal and state building
codes, and local utility regulations.
In mobile housing, installation is to be in accordance with CSA standard Z241.1
gas equipped mobile housing. In manufactured (mobile) home installation must
conform with the latest edition of Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280. When that standard is not applicable, the
Standard for Manufactured Home Installation, ANSI 225.1/NFPA 501-A, or local
codes or the standard CAN/CSA-z240MH, “Mobile Homes” should be used.
Gas Supply Pressure
Appliance and individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa) (14” WCP).
Appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping system by closing manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa) (14” WCP).
Gas supply pressure for checking regulator setting must be at least 1” WCP
above manifold pressure shown on rating label.
Pressure regulator supplied with cooktop must be used.
CAUTION
!
To avoid property damage,
maximum gas supply
pressure must not exceed
14 WCP.
Installation Re uirements
Before You Install
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of property
damage or serious personal
injury, use NATURAL GAS
only with this cooktop.

Duct Length Calculations
Ducting length is calculated in terms of straight metal
duct. Fittings such as elbows or transition pieces should
be limited to 50% of total duct length. Using too many
fittings can cause air flow problems. Maximum allowable
calculated duct length is 60 equivalent feet.
Use Duct Length Piece Equivalents section provided
below to calculate duct length.
Do not use any duct other than metal.
Flexible duct is not recommended because it can
create a fire hazard. However, if it is used, one foot of
flexible duct is equal to two feet of smooth metal duct.
Exterior exhaust opening must be a minimum of 1 foot
(12 inches) from an obstruction.
