ADVANCE PLANNING
Refer to "Dimensions and Clearances" for appropriate
placement and necessary clearances when planning
the installation.
• Cabinetry cannot be installed directly above the
cooktop.
• We recommend the installation of a vent hood above
the cooktop surface.
- The vent hood must be at least 24"deep.
- The vent hood must be at least the same width as
the cooktop.
- For 48" models, we recommend the vent hood
blower be 1200 CFM.
- For 36" models, we recommend the vent hood
blower be 600 CFM
• Refer to hood installation instructions for height
dimensions.
• Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have
18"minimum clearance between countertop and
cabinet bottom.
• Clearance between cooktop and side wall or
combustible material must be at least 12" on
each side.
• These cooktops require 8"free space below the
countertop to house the burner box. Additional
clearance is required below the burner box for the
gas regulator and connections. Connections should
be routed to limit interference with drawers or other
cabinetry features.
• Allow 12"rain. clearance at the back to combustible
materials.
• Allow 36"rain. above the cooking surface to
combustible materials.
• Installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54,
latest edition. In Canada, installation must conform
with the current Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the current Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, and with local codes where
applicable. This cooktop has been design-certified by
CSA International according to ANSI Z21.1, latest
edition and Canadian Gas Association according to
CAN/CGA-I.I latest edition.

manifold ofthe cooktop and mustremain in series with the
supplyline regardless of the type of gas being used.
• Thenatural gas models are designed to operate at 5"water
column pressure.A regulator is required atthe natural gas
sourceto provide amaximumof7"water pressureto the
cooktop regulator.
• Theliquid propane models are designedto operate at 10"
water column pressure.A regulator is required at the LP
source to provide a maximumof 14"water pressure to the
cooktop regulator.
• These gas cooktops are suppliedwith 1/2"NPTfemale gas
connection located atthe left rear corner.
• A minimum5/8"dia. metal flexible line is required.

• Build a support deck or box inside the cabinet which
will support the weight of the cooktop.
- Build the support box using a solid material, cut a
5"x 5"square in the left rear corner for the gas inlet
and power cord clearances.

STEP 3 INSTALL COOKTOP
• Lower the cooktop into the opening. Make sure the
cooktop is evenly seated and supported. A side frame
gasket will seal the cooktop to the countertop.
•"L" brackets with screws are provided to secure the
cooktop to the countertop or to adjacent cabinetry.
- Alternate screw hole locations on the sides of the
cooktop allow for varying thicknesses of countertops
or side cleats.
• Select the bracket location; secure the bracket to the
cooktop with 2 screws.
• Drive one screw through the bottom of the "L" bracket
and into countertop or side cleats. J

STEP 4 CONNECT COOKTOP TO GAS
A manual shut-off valve must be installed where
it will be accessible.
Assure that gas is turned off at the shut-off valve.
• Install the supplied pressure regulator onto the end
of the gas inlet.
• You can install a 90° elbow (net supplied) onto the
gas inlet and route the gas connections to avoid
interference with drawers or other cabinetry features.
• Make sure the regulator is installed in the right
direction. See arrow on the underside of the regulator.
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect to
pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal appliance
connector may be used between the pipe stub and the
shut-off valve to the pressure regulator, if local codes
permit.
• Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are required at
each end of the flexible connector.
WARNING: Do net use a flame tO
check for gas leaks.

IMPORTANT: If the igniter electrodes continue to
spark after the burners are lit, check that each
burner component is assembled and seated properly
by observing constant gaps between each layer.
Disassemble and reassemble as required.
• Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
or yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame
from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check
that the burner ports are not blocked.
Toaid reassembly, each brass burner head is
