Electrical Requirements
WARNING
To prevent-an electric. shock hazard, the power supply
must meet the specifications stated below. It is the own-
er’s. responsibility to: make sure thatthe electrical service
meets electrical requirements. and that the electrical outlet
has been properly installed bya licensed electrician.
* The cooktop is supplied with a factory installed, 42-inch
long, power cord with a three-prong, grounding elec-
trical plug. It is connected to the chassis at the bot-
tom right rear corner (see Chassis Bottom Diagram
below). It must be connected to a dedicated, grounded
three-prong electrical outlet installed by a licensed elec-
trician.
*« The electrical installation, including minimum supply
wire size and grounding, must be done in accordance
with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and local
codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be
obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
{1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269-9101
*« The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be
supplied to the electrical outlet according to the product
data label located on the bottom of the chassis. See
the Gas and Electrical Requirements table on this
page for reference.
* Be certain to locate the electrical outlet so that the
power cord may be easily disconnected if the unit
requires service.

Gas Supply Requirements
* Be certain that the cooktop being installed is correct for
the gas service being provided (natural gas or LP gas).
Also, if operating the cooktop at an altitude above 4000
ft. (1219 m) make sure it is equipped for high altitude
operation.
« Units equipped for LP operation have “LP” in the
model number listed on the product data label. See the
Chassis Bottom Diagram for label location.
« Units equipped for high altitude operation have an “H”
at the end of the model number listed on the product
data label.
* Check your local building codes for the proper method
of installation. In the absence of local codes, this
appliance should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
* An external manual shut-off valve must be installed
between the gas inlet and the cooktop for the purpose
of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
* The cooktop comes from the factory with a regulator in
the shipping carton. Use only the regulator provided.
The regulator must be installed in the gas line that runs
from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut off valve.
* The regulator inlet (female) accommodates a 3/4” gas
line. It can also accommodate a 1/2” gas line using
the included reducer. The inlet to the cooktop itself is
equipped with a “4” male NPT fitting.
The cooktop gas connection is located on the bottom of the
cooktop in the back right corner as you face the front of the
unit. See the Chassis Bottom Diagram on this page.

Under Cabinet Clearances
The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-
trical outlet must be located so that they do not inter-
fere with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing
another appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the
routing of gas and electrical service behind it.
The installation must allow for the following:
Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when
the unit is installed.
Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in
place. The 42” (106.7 cm) power cord must be able to
reach the electrical outlet.
Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and
inspection purposes.
Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold
down bracket installation.
To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed
shelf should not be installed below the cooktop. See the fol-
lowing pages for countertop cutout dimensions.

WARNING
WARNING
Verify that the power-supply meets the specifications
on. page 4 before proceeding.
To prevent damage. to the.gas pressure regulator,
install it-only after the cooktop is mounted.in its per-
manent position.
CAUTION
Do not:over-tighten the hold down bolts. Over tight-
ening the hold down bolts may result in improper
operation of the dual gas burners.
Do not use a hardening compound:or-caulk to perma-
nently seal the cooktop into place. The cooktop. must
be readily removable if service is required. Removal
of sealant-to service. the unit will be performed atthe
customer’s expense.
Lower the cooktop into the cutout. Slide it forward as
far as possible and center it side to side.
Secure the cooktop to the countertop using the two (2)
provided hoid-down brackets as shown.

Verify that.the gas supply meets specifications before
connection. See. page 4.
Do not install the cooktop without-also installing the
included gas regulator. Do not-use the cooktop with-
out-the regulator installed.
Ensure that the arrow on the regulator points. in the
direction of the gas flow, towards the cooktop.
Do.not apply excessive. pressure when tightening gas
connections. and fittings.
Do not-use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on flexible
gas line-connections.
Test the gas lines forleaks. as instructed before use.
Do not use.a flame. to check for leaks.
The maximum gas supply-pressure to the regulator
must never exceed: pounds per square inch (p.s.i.)
or 3.5. kPa.
The cooktop.and shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pres-
sure testing exceeding % p.s.i..(3.5:kPa).
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by.closing the shut-off.valve to the
cooktop during any gas supply. piping system pres-
sure. testing equal.to-or less than % p.s.i. (3.5:kPa).
For LP. gas installations, the LP. gas tank must have
its own high-pressure.regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop.
Attach the gas pressure regulator (included with the
cooktop) to the cooktop pipe nipple inlet. For tight
installations, the regulator may be installed upstream
from the pipe nipple, anywhere between the shut-off
valve and the cooktop. For best performance, minimize
gas pressure loss by attaching the regulator as close
as possible to the cooktop gas inlet.
Complete connection of the gas supply to the cooktop
by installing a minimum ‘%” flexible gas line (not includ-
ed) between the pressure regulator and the shut-off
valve.
Check for gas leaks:
® Turn all cooktop control valves to the OFF position.
® Turn on the gas supply valve and check all lines
and connections for leaks using a soap and water
solution or a gas leak detector.
® Turn the gas supply off.

Installing the Burner Components
WARNING
«Never attempt-to operate the cooktop. with any of the
burner parts. removed.
«Do. not attempt to adjust-the burner air mixture set-
tings. All adjustments are preset-at-the factory.
1. Remove the burner rings, burner caps and grates from
their shipping packages.
2. Assemble the burners as shown. Match the burner
parts to the correct size and type of burner. When
installing the burner components, make sure they are
centered. Twist each piece back and forth slightly until
it drops completely into place. The burners will not
operate properly unless all of the burner pieces are
properly seated.
3. Gently set the grates on top of the spill tray. Make sure
that the rubber feet are positioned in the dimples.
IMPORTANT
Each grate is different. Orient: them as shown. :Each grate
has a-siot on the bottom that matches up. with a notch on
the spill try. The slots on the-grates all:go toward the back
of the cooktop.
