IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven,
follow basic precautions.
Be sure the cooktop is properly installed by a qualified technician.
DO NOT allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on cooktop.
NEVER use this appliance to warm or heat a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the cooktop.
DO NOT leave children alone or unattended. Children SHOULD NOT be left alone or unattended in the area
where the cooktop is in use; they could be seriously burned or injured. Children SHOULD NEVER be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop; they could be seriously burned or injured.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments SHOULDNOT be worn while utilizing the cooktop.
DO NOT repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
DO NOT store flammable materials near the cooktop.
DO NOT store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near the
vicinity of the cooktop or any other appliance.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. NEVER pick up a flaming pan or pot. Turn the controls off. Smother the
flaming pan or pot by covering it completely with a fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use multi-purpose
dry chemicals or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside of the pan or pot can be put out by covering it with baking soda, multi-purpose dry
chemicals or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in steamed burns.
DO NOT heat un-opened food containers on the surface burners. Pressure could build up and the container
can burst, causing injury.
NEVER leave jars of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.
DO NOT let cooking grease deposits accumulate in or near the cooktop, as this may cause a grease fire.
In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or door. Wait at least 5 minutes before
using cooktop.
DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop.
If the cooktop is near a windows, be certain that the curtains or window covering are away from the

TOOLS AND PARTS
Tools Required
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
The air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow
into the room directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must have an unobstructed cross-section
not less than 2m³/h for each kw of power.

The opening must be constructed so that
it will not be obstructed from inside or
outside, or constructed close to the floor.
The opening is recommended to be on the
side opposite to that on which the flue gases
are discharged.
Avoid placing cabinetry directly above
cooktop when possible. If cabinetry is used
above cooking surface, use cabinet no more
than 13” deep.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop
should have a 18” minimum clearance
between countertop and cabinet bottom.
Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and
cabinets around the cooktop can withstand
heat (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.

Maintain 30” minimum clearance between cooktop surface and cabinets installed above the cooktop.
- If a range hood is installed above the cooktop, it is important that the 30” minimum clearance between
the cooktop and bottom of the range hood is maintained. The range hood must be connected directly
to flues or to the outside.
- A range hood with minimum 350 CFM that projects at least 5” beyond front of cabinets can reduce risk
of burns caused by reaching over heated surface units.
GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Installation must comply with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the gas cooktop must comply with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1- latest edition in the United States, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 and CAN/
CGA B149.2 and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70 – latest edition in United States, or in Canada CSA

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier. Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: Save these instructions for local electrical inspectors use. Read and save these instructions for
future use.
WARNING: Installations for Gas and Electric
The cooktop is manufactured for use with Natural Gas. The cooktop can be converted for use with propane
gas using the propane conversion kit supplied with the cooktop.
Be sure the cooktop being installed is correct for the type of gas being used.
Refer to the rating plate located on the underside of the burner box.
When connecting the unit for propane gas, make certain the propane tank is equipped with its own high
pressure regulator.
In addition, the pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop must be installed on the gas inlet pipe going
to the cooktop.
INSTALLING COOKTOP
1. Use as 24” or deeper base cabinet.
2. Cut the opening in the countertop.
To ensure accuracy it is best to
make a template for the opening.
Make sure the sides are parallel
also rear and front cuts are exactly
perpendicular to the sides. Keep
in mind all minimum clearances.
(Refer to Figure 6.)
3. Before installing the cooktop into
the opening in the countertop,
remove all grates and burner caps.
4. Turn the cooktop upside down
and place the special foam gasket
around the bottom edge of the
cooktop. It is important that the
gasket is fixed evenly without
any gaps or overlapping, this is to
prevent liquid seeping underneath
the cooktop. (Refer to Figure 7.)
5. After the foam gasket is installed,
place the cooktop into the
countertop. (Refer to Figure 6.)
6. Secure the cooktop from
underneath with the supplied clips
and screws. (Refer to Figure 8.)

GAS CONNECTION
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International 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” (36cm) 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.
WARNING: NEVER reuse an old flexible connector. The utilization of an old flexible connector may cause gas
leakage and personal injury.
NOTE: ALWAYS use a new flexible connector when installing a gas appliance.
NOTE: ALWAYS apply thread compound approved for use with LP or Natural Gas to all thread connections.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be used. For proper operation the inlet pressure to
the regulator should be as follows. (Refer to Figure 9.)
Gas Shut-Off Valve
The gas supply line must be equipped with
a manual shut-off 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 shut-off valve. The valve
is for turning on or shutting off gas to the
cooktop. (Refer to Figure 10.)
