If installing a hood above the cooktop, follow the hood instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into agrounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that
will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly
polarized.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575
• A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this cooktop be provided.
• Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
• The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. See
"Wiring Diagrams" section.
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA international approved gas supply line.
install ashut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
if connected to LP, have aqualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) 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.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
• This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To
convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions
provided in the literature package. The model/serial rating
plate located on the underside of the burner box has
information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types
of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check
with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas
Conversion instructions provided in the literature package.

Gas Supply Line
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"(1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON _ tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
•If local codes permit, use a %" flexible stainless steel
tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the
cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
• A r/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop. It 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
cooktop. B\
A. Gas supply line
B. Shutoff valve "open" position
C. To cooktop
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)
The cooktop and its individual manual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than
r/2psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP) 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 that system at test pressures equal to or less than
r/2psi (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the left front underside of
the burner box.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on your model ordered. See "Tools and
Parts" section for a complete list parts supplied with your
cooktop.
Decide on final location for the cooktop.
The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply line
connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after the
cooktop is installed in the cutout. See "Make Gas Connection"
section.
To Install Backguard or Island Trim
Attach the backguard or island trim as required for your
installation. Attachment screws are in the literature package.
Backguard
Island Trim
A
On 48" (121.9 cm) models with both grill and griddle, use
screws "A" and "B."
On 36" (91.4 cm) models with griddle only, use screws "A"
and "C."
! ........
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1. Stand the cooktop on its side or back.
2. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a W' male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown following is a typical
connection. Your connection may be different, according to
the supply line type, size and location.
A
• On 48" (121.9 cm) models with both grill and griddle, use
screws "A" and "B."
• On 36" (91.4 cm) models with griddle only, use screws "A"
and "C."
• All other models use all 3 front screws.
• On 48" (121.9 cm) models, 3 rear screws are required (not
shown).
• On 36" (91.4 cm) models, 2 rear screws are required (not
shown).

3, Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the burner box and in a position where
you can reach the regulator cap.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe
when tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP
gas. Do not use TEFLON _ tape.
You will need to determine the fittings required depending on
your installation.
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the
smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see C
and F in following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a 1%6"combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
