should be installed first to prevent
damage to the cooktop.
Gas appliances should only be
installed in a well ventilated area.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
The cooktop should only be
installed as shown in the
illustrations while maintaining the
required safety distances shown. Do
not install the cooktop between two tall
cabinets, this is a fire hazard.

This appliance must be grounded
according to local or national codes.
All electrical work should be
performed by a qualified electrician
in accordance with local codes and
the:
- National Electrical Code
ANSI / NFPA No. 70
for the USA
or
- Canadian Electrical Code Part I
for Canada
(CSA Standard C 22.1).
,WARNING
Disconnect the appliance from the
main power supply before
installation or service. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, make sure the
appliance is properly grounded after
installation.
Power supply
The automatic ignition requires that the
cooktop be connected to a 120 VAC,
60 Hz power supply. The supply line
should be protected by a 15 A breaker.
Actual power consumption (during
ignition only) is 25 W.
This appliance is equipped with a 4 ft.
(1.2 m) long power cord that is ready
for connection to the appropriate outlet.
Please place the power outlet so that it
is accessible after the appliance has
been installed in the countertop.
This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug to
prevent shock hazards. It should be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded outlet. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from
the plug. If the plug does not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a licensed electrician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of
this appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for damages caused by
