Installation
The minimum distances given in
these Installation instructions are to
combustible surfaces, and must be
observed to ensure safe operation.
Failure to do so increases the risk of
fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood
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.
Any wall coverings must be heat
resistant as well.
~This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
~Deep fat fryers must not be installed
directly next to gas cooktops. Gas
flames can ignite splattering oil. A
distance of at least 11 3/4" (300 mm)
should be maintained between these
two appliances.
~The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by
the cooktop may damage the
appliances.
~Install the appliance so that the
power cord or gas piping does not
come into contact with any portion of
the cooktop which may become hot
during use.
~The power cord and a flexible gas
connection line must be attached in
such a way that they are not in contact
with moving parts of kitchen elements
(e.g. a drawer) and are not subject to
mechanical stress.
~The safety distances listed on the
following pages must be carefully
maintained.
~Never use a sealant unless
expressly stipulated. The sealing tape
of the appliance ensures adequate
sealing to the countertop.
This appliance must be installed
with its own shut off valve and the
included gas pressure regulator.
Both the valve and the regulator
must be easily accessible to the
consumer after the appliance is
installed.
This appliance must be
disconnected from the gas supply
during any pressure testing of the
system performed in excess of ½
psi (3.5 kPa). This appliance must
be isolated at test pressures equal
to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Any pipe connections must be
made using a thread sealant
approved for gas connections.
Failure to correctly install these
items could lead to a gas leak and
subsequent explosion.
In Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed
plumber/gas fitter.

Safety distances above the
appliance
The minimum safety distance given by
the hood manufacturer must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the hood above it. See the installation
instructions of the hood for these safety
measurements.
If the hood manufacturers instructions
are not available or if flammable objects
are installed over the cooktop (e.g.
cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum
safety distance of 30" (760 mm) must
be maintained.
If there are several appliances
beneath a hood, and they have
different minimum safety distances
always observe the greatest
distance.
