CABINET/COUNTERTOP PREPARATION
The installation of this built-in appliance must be completed by a qualified appliance
technician or contractor. Proper installation is the owner’s responsibility.
Carefully check the location where the cooktop is to be installed. The cooktop
should be placed for convenient access, but away from drafts that may be caused
by open doors and windows or by HVAC duct outlets. Make certain that gas and
electrical power can be provided in the selected locations. Plan the installation so
that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide
minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.
WARNINGWARNING
WARNINGWARNING
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of personal in ury caused by reaching over a hot appliance,
cabinet storage space located directly above the cooktop should be avoided.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Failure to provide proper clearances may result in a fire hazard!
• Do not store combustible materials or items adversely affected by heat
immediately above or below the cooktop.
• The back edge of the cooktop must remain a minimum of 2 1/2" (64mm) from any
combustible backsplash material. This will require special cabinet and
countertop dimensions. Installations with less than 2 1/2” from the rear of the
cooktop to a combustible backsplash must use Electrolux Backsplash models
ACCBG096S1 (for E36GC76EPS) or ACCBG0948S1 (for E48GC76EPS).

8PreparingforInstallation

• If the electrical supply circuit does not have a grounding-type receptacle, it is the
responsibility of the customer to have the existing receptacle changed by an
electrician to a properly grounded receptacle.
• The power supply must be properly polarized. Reverse polarity will result in
continuous sparking of the electrodes, even after flame ignition. If the power
supply is not properly polarized, it is the responsibility of the customer to have
the polarity corrected.
• If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded or
polarized, have it checked by a qualified electrician prior to installing the
cooktop.
• Do not plug the cooktop into Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles.
The cooktop spark ignition module can cause a GFCI to trip.
MakingtheGas/ElectricConnection
Electrical Supply Requirements
The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance
from an isolated, grounded circuit which is protected by a properly sized circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse.
The cooktop must be connected to the power supply with copper wire only. The
use of aluminum wire may result in unsatisfactory connections. Flexible armored or
nonmetallic, sheathed copper cable (with a grounding wire) should be used to
supply electrical power to the junction box or receptacle.
The cooktop’s factory-equipped, three-prong grounding plug must be inserted into a
mating grounding-type receptacle in accordance with National Electric Code and
applicable state, municipal and local codes.
Be certain to locate the junction box or electrical outlet so the electrical supply may
be easily disconnected in the event that service becomes necessary. Also, provide
extra slack in the cable to allow the cooktop to be removed for servicing.

Operation
Turn on the main gas supply to the cooktop by opening the gas shut-off valve. Test
each burner separately by pressing and turning one control knob at a time
counterclockwise to the “LITE/HI” position. All ignitors will spark simultaneously. (It
will take approximately four seconds for ignition to occur, at which time all igniters
will stop sparking. If ignition does not occur within four seconds, turn off the knob,
wait for at least five (5) minutes to allow any gas to dissipate, then repeat this
ignition test.) The control knob can then be rotated counterclockwise from “HI” to
“LOW” to adjust the flame height progressively. Repeat the ignition test for all
burners.
When installed properly, the flame will be steady and quiet. It will also have a sharp,
blue inner cone that will vary in length proportional to the burner size. Flame
adjustment will not be necessary.
