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. If
converting to LP gas, see the “LP Gas Conversion”
instructions provided in the package containing literature.
The model/serial rating plate located on the underside of
the cooktop base 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 cooktop 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 package
containing literature.
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 should
be ¹⁄₂" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the
size and materials used in the system.
†®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont Nemours and
Company.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
● It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the underside of the
cooktop base.
● To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to
be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
● The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved
to be installed either alone or over an undercounter built-in
oven. Check the cooktop base approved installation label
for your cooktop model number and approved
combinations of cooktops and ovens that can be installed.
If you do not find this label, your cooktop may not be
approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven.
Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is
approved.
● Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an
approval label located on the top of the oven. If you do not
find this label, contact your dealer to confirm that your
oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and
proper cutout dimensions.
● The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans.
● All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be installed must be sealed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to
make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other
damage.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination
above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination
installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop
surface.
NOTES: After you make the countertop cutout, some installations may
require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop
base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider
than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the
countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet
is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened to avoid
interfering with the regulator.
IMPORTANT: If an undercounter built-in wall oven is to be installed
below this cooktop, the grounded outlet (H) and gas supply piping must
be located in an adjacent cabinet.
This cooktop and its gas and electrical supply sources must be installed
before the undercounter built-in wall oven is installed.
