CAUTION:
THESE COOKTOPS SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A
SUITABLE OVERHEAD VENT HOOD. Due
to the high heat capacity of this unit, particu-
lar attention should be paid to the hood and
duct work installation to assure it meets local
building codes.
Standard countertop and island installations:
A 1200 CFM Hood is recommended 1or 48"
cooktops.
A 600 CFM hood is recommended for 36"
cooktops.
Hoods should be 24" min. deep and the same
width as the cooktop.
Island installations:
Check local building codes 1or the proper
method of cooktop installation. Local codes
vary. Installation, electrical connections and
grounding must comply with applicable codes.
In the absence of local codes, the cooktop
should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 223.1-1990 and
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
CAUTION:
These cooktops are extremely heavy. Due to
the weight and size of the cooktop and to
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the product, TWO PEOPLE ARE
REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.

-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 acliacent 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" fi'ee space below
the countertop.
• If the cooktop is installed in an island:
-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

• Replace the burner bowls and burner caps.
• Adjustments should not be required, unless
vibration during transit or variations in local
gas supply make minor adjustments neces-

CAUTION: Burner acljustments must be made
by a qualified technician at the time of
installation. Extreme care should be used if
acliustments are made after installation.
• 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 air
shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If
one of these conditions continues, adjust the
air shutter as required.
-If the flame is too yellow, there is
insufficient air flow, adjust the shutter
counterclockwise to increase air inlet.
-If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away
fi'om the burner, there is too much air. Turn
