IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this cooktop must conform
with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the United States, or in
Canada, with the Canadian Fuel Gas Code,
CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA B149.2.
•When installed in a manufactured (mobile)
home installation must conform with
the Manufactured Home Construction
and Safety Standard, title 24 CFR, part
3280 [Formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
title 24, HUD (part 280)] or, when such
standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installation, ANSI/
NCSBCS A225.1 or with local codes where
applicable.
This cooktop has been design certified by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL). As with any
appliance using gas and generating heat,
there are certain safety precautions you
should follow. You will find them in the Use
and Care Guide, read it carefully.
•Be sure your cooktop is installed and
grounded properly by a qualified installer
or service technician.
This cooktop must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in their
absence, with the National Electrical Code
ANSi/NFPA No. 70--latest edition in
the United States, or in Canada, with the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part
1.
•The burners can be lit manually during an
electrical power outage. To light a burner,
hold a lit match to the burner head, then
slowly turn the Surface Control knob to
LITE. Use caution when lighting burners
manually.
DO NOT store items of interest
to children in cabinets above the cooktop.
Children could be seriously burned climbing
on the cooktop to reach items.
•To eliminate the need to reach over the
surface burners, cabinet storage space
above the burners should be avoided.
•Adjust surface burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. Excessive flame is hazardous.
Never use your cooktop for
warming or heating the room. Prolonged use
of the cooktop without adequate ventilation
can be hazardous.
Storage on Appliance.
Flammable materials should not be stored
near surface units. This includes paper,
plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. DO NOT store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result
in fire or property damage.
The electrical power to the
cooktop must be shut off while gas line
connections are being made. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or death.

Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4"
of manifold pressure only.
A pressure regulator must be connected
in series with the manifold on the cooktop and must
remain in series with the supply line.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the
regulator must be no more than 14" of water column
(W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold
pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" of manifold
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5".
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4"
pipe.

LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your
cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS
CONVERSION".
The conversion must be performed by a qualified
service technician in accordance with the kit instructions
and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow
instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
NOTE: Purchase a new flexible line. DO NOT USE
AN OLD PREVIOUSLY USED LINE.
Important: Remove all packing material and literature
from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical
supply to cooktop.
Model and Serial Number Location
The serial plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop.
When ordering parts for or making inquires about your
cooktop, always be sure to include the model and serial
numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate
of your cooktop.
Your serial plate also tells you the rating of the burners,
the type of fuel and the pressure the cooktop was
adjusted for when it left the factory.
Electrical Requirements
]20 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded
branch circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse. DO NOT use an extension cord with
this cooktop.
Grounding instructions
IMPORTANT Please read carefully.
For personal safety, fhls appliance must
be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 4) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
the appliance.
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.

_ Disconnect electrical supply cord from
wall receptacle before servicing cooktop.
Positioning the Cooktop
The exhaust vent from the cooktop must be located
between wall studs or floor joists so that the ductwork
may be installed properly
Prepare Base Cabinet
This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a variety
of cabinets. However, some cabinets may require
modifications.
Preparing aCabinet with Drawers
If the cabinet has drawers, the drawers must be
removed and the drawer fronts attached to the front of
the cabinet.
Verify internal length and width of base cabinet
In some cabinets, the sides or back wall may need to
be cut out, and the corner braces removed in order to
accommodate the unit.
Counterfop Cutout
Countertops with a rolled front edge and radius at the
base of the backsplash may not provide the fiat surface
area required to accommodate the cooktop.
Cut countertop opening according to the dimensions
shown in Figure 2. The opening must be cut squarely
with sides parallel to each other, front and rear
perpendicular to the sides.
5

Installing the Ductwork
Use galvanized or aluminum duct in 6" round or 3½"
x 10" size, or a combination of both. PVC duct should
be used if installing under a poured concrete slab.
Use the shortest and straightest duct run possible.
For satisfactory performance, the duct run should
not exceed 100 feet equivalent length. Refer to the
"Calculating Duct Length" chart for equivalent lengths.
(see page 14). All duct joints should be fastened with a
screw and sealed with tape as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE: Local building code must be followed in
specifying approved type and schedule of ALL duct
used. Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with
damper.

Preparing for Ductwork
Cut hole in cabinet wall or floor as appropriate for your
installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located between
wall studs or floor joists. Figure 9, 10, 11 & 12.
NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented to outside. DO
NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any
concealed space.
When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, DO NOT damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities. CUTOUT

Blower to Ductwork Alignment
The use of flexible ducting is discouraged because it
can severely restrict airflow. If the blower outlet and the
floor or wall duct location DO NOT align, then Nexible
METAL ducting can be used to adapt to an offset.
