BACKSPLASH ACCESSORI ES
All models require 12" minimum clearance to a
vertical combustible surface at the rear. If clearance
is less than 12", the entire surface of the back wall
above the countertop and the full width of the
rangetop must be protected by a backsplash. The
backsplash must be constructed of non-combustible
material, such as metal, ceramic tile, brick, marble
or other stone.
Two Backsplash Accessories Available:
. The 12" high stainless steel backsplash accessory
is available. Use this backsplash in combination
with a custom, non-combustible backsplash built
beyond the 12" height. The combined height of the
backsplash accessory and the custom backsplash
must reach the bottom of a hood, or when there is
no hood, to 48" above the cooking surface.
. An adjustable 30" to 36" high backsplash with shelf
is also available. This backsplash fills in the space
between the top of the rangetop and the bottom
of the hood. The shelf is positioned so that heat
lamps from the bottom of a professional hood are
directed towards the shelf.

flexible metal gas supply
(3-foot maximum length in Massachusetts only)
NOTE: Purchase new flexible line; do not use
previously used flexible gas line.
POWER SUPPLY LOCATIONS
Gas Supply:
• The natural gas models are designed to operate at 5"
water column pressure. For proper operation, the
pressure of the natural gas supplied to the regulator
must be between 7" and 13" water column.
• The LP models are designed to operate at 10" water
column pressure. For proper operation, the pressure
of the LPgas supplied to the regulator must be between
11" and 13"water column.
• Locate the pipe stub on the back wall or floor
(see"Product Dimensions and Clearances"). Use S-foot
maximum length, 5/8" O.D.flexible gas supply line
(3-foot in Massachusetts).
• Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line
(not provided), in an easily accessible location. Make sure
the homeowner knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the rangetop.
Electric Supply:
These rangetops must be supplied with 120 volt, 60 Hz.,
and connected to a dedicated, properly grounded branch
circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
The power cord of this appliance isequipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
three-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of shock hazard from this appliance.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above
specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician
install an approved outlet.

Measure carefully when cutting the countertop.
Make sure sides of the opening are parallel.
• Allow 8" free space below the top surface of the countertop.
• Allow additional clearances below the burner box
to install the regulator and make house supply
connections. Use a 90° elbow to route the gas
connections and limit interference with drawers
or other cabinetry features.
•These rangetops are designed to hang from
the countertop by their side flanges.
• Smooth any rough edges on the countertop before
installing the rangetop.
- Formica countertop edges must be finished.
The countertop must be strong enough to support
the weight of the rangetop.

STEP 2 INSTALL RANGETOP
,Slide the rangetop into the opening. Make sure the
rangetop is evenly seated and supported.
,A hold-down strap with screws is provided to
secure the rangetop to the rear or side cabinet
walls.
, Remove the hold-down strap from the back of the
rangetop. Attach one end of the strap to the back
of the rangetop.
,Secure the other end of the strap as high as
possible to the cabinet back wall or adjacent
cabinet. Keep the strap as short as possible for
better security.

STEP 3 CONNECT RANGETOP TO GAS
-&WARNING
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
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 (not provided) onto
the gas inlet and route the gas connections to
avoid interference with drawers or other cabinetry
features. However, it is not recommended because it
will result in a drop in gas pressure.
,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.
,Turn on gas and check for leaks:
-Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections in the system.
