Product dimensions
The distance to the front edge of the countertop,
distance to a side wall or other combustible
surface, location of electric supply and height to
cabinets above cooktop are specified on page 2.

of 24”. The maximum depth for the overhead
cabinets is 13”. The minimum vertical clearance
between the cooking surface and the overhead
cabinets is 30”.
Overhead cabinets installed at either side of the
appliance must be a minimum of 18” above the
cooking surface. The minimum distance
between the front edge of the countertop and the
front edge of the cook-top is 314”. The minimum
horizontal distance between overhead cabinets
above appliances is 30”.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
l To contact a qualified electrical installer.
l To assure that electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with National
Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest
edition*, and all local codes and ordinances

Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person
make sure gas pressure does not exceed
14” water column. Examples of a qualified
person include licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.

feet ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each
1,000 feet above sea level.
ElProvide a gas supply line of 3/4” rigid
. pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller
size pipe on long runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds
made for use with L.P. gas must be used.

A.G.A.-design-certified, new flexible
metal tubing is recommended for

for connection to pressure regulator female pipe
threads.
shutoff valve
El
The supply line shall be equipped with
. an approved shutoff valve. This valve
should be located in the same room as
the cooktop and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block
access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

IH.I
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (gauge)
The cooktop and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that
pressures greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (gauge) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the cooktop is properly
grounded.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC only, 15-ampere, fused
electrical supply is required. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide
voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity
is necessary. In addition to checking that the
outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly
grounded, the outlet must be checked by a
qualified electrician to see if it is wired with
correct polarity.
Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong ground plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-
type outlet, grounded in accordance with
National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest
edition and all local codes and ordinances. See
Figure 1. If a mating outlet is not available, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
