ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS
It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the electrical
receptacle for this appliance has been installed by a qualified
electrician. The electrical installation, including minimum
supply wire size and grounding, must be in accordance with
the National Electric code ANSIINFPA 70-1993" (or latest
revision) and local codes and ordinances. A copy of this
standard may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
1Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101
The correct voltage, frequency, and amperage must be
supplied to the appliance from a separate, grounded circuit
that is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time
delay fuse. Refer to the chart below for requirements.
PRODUCTDIMENSIONS
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
• 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.
• Be certain that the appliance 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.
• See the table below for gas supply pressure requirements.
Make sure the gas supply meets minimum requirements.
• The regulator inlet accommodates a 3/4" gas line. The inlet to
the cooktop itself is equipped with a 3/4" male NPT fitting.

General Considerations
•All dimensions shown on the following pages are based on
standard American cabinets. Dimensions shown indicated
minimum clearances. When installing the cooktop, minimum
clearances must be maintained.
•The distance from the back of the cooktop to a combustible
rear wall is 2 1/2" (64mm) minimum (Figure 1).
• Installation of a non-combustible material (up to the hood) or
a backsplash is always recommended, and mandatory if the
distance to the back wall from the cooktop is less than
2 1/2" (Figure 2). When installing a backsplash, use only
Dacor ®model numbers AEB3609, AEB3612, AEB4809 or
AEB4812.

FIGURE 2
• Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be placed
away from drafts that may be caused by doors, windows and
heating and air conditioning outlets.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce
accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recommends
installing a hood. A range hood should project horizontally a
minimum of five (5) inches beyond the face of the cabinets.
• The countertop must cover the recessed portions of the
cooktop. All contact surfaces between the cooktop and the
counter must be solid and level.
•IMPORTANT: When installing the cooktop into a laminated
or synthetic countertop, radius the corners of the cut-out to
help avoid cracking. Consult the countertop manufacturer's
instructions for minimum corner radius, reinforcement and
heat protection requirements.
Gas and Electric Service Location
• The shaded area on the facing page shows the location
of the gas inlet and the electrical receptacle. This is the
recommended location. For replacement purposes, the
location of the existing utilities may be utilized provided they
do not interfere with the sides or rear of the cooktop. Check
local building codes for permissible gas valve locations.
• 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 regulator must be installed in the gas line that runs
from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut off valve. For best
performance, minimize gas pressure loss by attaching the
regulator as close as possible to the cooktop gas inlet.
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 receptacle, when the cooktop is
in place. The (48") power cord must be able reach the
receptacle.
• Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and
inspection purposes.
• The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the power
receptacle must be located so they do not interfere 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.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or
gas fitter.
Gas and Electric Service Installation
Have the gas service installed by a qualified professional
in the location determined in the Planning the Installation
section. The gas service must include a gas shut-off valve
(not included with the cooktop) in the main gas supply line in
an accessible location under the cooktop.
Have the electrical receptacle installed by a licensed
electrician in the location determined in the Planning the
Installation section.
Unpack the Cooktop
COOKTOP INSTALLATION
• Lower the cooktop into the cut-out while feeding the electrical
cord into the utility cut-out. Center the cooktop in the cut-out.
• Secure the cooktop to the countertop utilizing the two (2)
hold-down bolts and flat washers provided. Do not over-
tighten the bolts.
IMPORTANT: Do not fasten or seal the cooktop to the
countertop using glue or caulk. The unit must be readily
removable for service. The warranty does not cover
damage due to improper installation.
Gas Line Connection
Unpack the parts box and verify that all required
components have been provided, tf any item is missing or
damaged, please contact your dealer immediately. Do not
install a damaged or incomplete appliance. The customer

NOTE: The gas pressure regulator is pre-set at the factory
for the type of gas intended for use with the appliance. To
verify that the appliance is compatible with the type of gas
available, check the cooktop data plate on the under side
of the chassis. Cooktops intended for use with LP gas will
have "LP" as a part of the model number. Consult your
dealer if the cooktop is not compatible with the type of gas
supplied.
• Install the regulator upstream from the pipe nipple, between
the shut-off valve and the appliance. Mount it as close as
possible to the gas inlet on the cooktop for best performance.
The 3/4" male NPT gas inlet for the cooktop is located on the
bottom, at the right rear of the chassis. Ensure that the arrow
on the regulator points in the direction of the gas flow towards
the cooktop.
• Complete connection of the gas supply to the cooktop by
installing 1/2 inch flexible gas line (not included with the
cooktop) between the pressure regulator and the gas shut-off
valve. The cooktop has a 3/4" (19mm) diameter pipe nipple
inlet.
