CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS
The bottom of a standard hood should be 30" min to 36" max above the countertop. This would typically result in the bottom of
the hood being 66" to 72" above the oor. Refer to the CookTop Hood Installation Instructions for additional information. These
dimensions provide for safe and efcient operation of the hood.
This is a vented appliance. The appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward
towards the range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking
appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
Air curtain or other overhead range hood, which operates by blowing a downward airow onto a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with this appliance.
Note: Minimum clearance for the back wall is 0" with backguard or high shelf.

ELECTRICAL AND GAS REQUIREMENTS
Electric Shock Hazard
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, verify electrical
power is turned off at the breaker box & gas supply is turned off until the
cook top is installed.
WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
There is no connection necessary beyond plugging the unit into a polarized, grounded, 120 VOLT, 60Hz, 15 Amp circuit. The
minimum of 102 VAC is required for proper operation of gas ignitions. This circuit must be grounded and properly polarized.
The unit is equipped with a 16-STP2 Power Cord.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater then the inlet line of the appliance. This cook top uses a 1/2" ID NPT
inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
The cook top 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-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 cook top should be sealed.
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.

GAS REQUIREMENTS
PRESSURE REGULATOR
All heavy duty commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efcient
operation, since service pressure may uctuate with local demand. External regulators are not required on this cook top since a
regulator is built into each unit at the factory. Under no condition should the built-in regulator be bypassed.
Flexible Connections:
If the unit is to be installed with exible couplings and/or quick-disconnect ttings, the installer just uses a heavy duty AGA
designed-certied exible connector at least 1/2" ID NPT 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 exible gas connector.
VENTILATION
Proper ventilation is required for safe, efcient operation of this appliance. The range/cooktop must be installed under an
appropriate canopy ventilation hood. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance.
Especially in newer homes which are better sealed against the outdoors, a powerful exhaust fan can create a vacuum in the room. To
avoid this condition, have a qualied contractor match the appropriate hood to the specic cooktop/range. A balanced ventilation
system will factor the size of the range, size of the hood and power of the exhaust fan. It is recommended that the exhaust fan be
powerful enough to move a minimum of 300cfm.

Burner heads are packed in a separate box. Replace
burner heads on burner bases. Align holes in top
burner with pins on base of burner for proper
capacity & operation. For locations of burner heads
see diagram below.
Each burner is different by capacity. Misaligning them
could increase carbon monoxide gases to an unsafe
