Before you
start.. .
Proper installation is your
responsibility. Make sure you have
everything necessary for correct
installation. It is the responsibility of
the installer to comply with
installation clearances specified on
the serial/rating plate. The
serial/rating plate is located on the
bottom of the cooktop.
Check the location where the cooktop
will be installed. The location should
be away from strong draft areas, such
as windows, doors and strong,
heating vents or fans. The cooktop
should be located for convenient use
in the kitchen.
ALL OPENINGS IN THE WALL OR
FLOOR WHERE THE COOKTOP IS TO
BE INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED.
Grounded electrical outlet is
required. See “Electrical
requirements”.
Proper gas supply connection must
be available. See “Gas supply
requirements”.
IMPORTANT: Observe all
governing codes and
ordinances. Failure to meet
codes and ordinances could
lead to fire or electrical shock.

Mobile home installation:
The installation of this cooktop must
conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standards,
Title 24 CFB, Part 3280 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24,
HUD, Part 280), or when such
standard is not applicable, the
Standard for Manufactured Home
Installations 1982 (Manufactured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-
Ups), ANSI A225.1 -latest edition,
or with local codes.

WARNING: If the
information in this manual
is not followed exactly; a
fire or explosion may result
causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
- Do not store or use
gasoline or other
flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
- WHAT TO DO IF YOU
SMELL GAS
. Do not try to light any
appliance.
. Do not touch any
electrical switch; do not
use any phone in your
building.
. Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor’!
phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
1 If you cannot reach your
gas supplier, call the
fire department.
- Installation and service
must be performed by a
qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
Fire Hazard
Do Not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid installing cabinet storage
above the cooking surface. If
cabinets are already installed,
reduce the hazard of
reaching
over a heated cooking surface by
installing a range hood. The
range hood should extend a
minimum of 5 inches out from
the bottom front of the cabinets.
Reaching over a heated cooking
surface could result in a serious
bum or other personal injury.
Electrical Shock Hazard
It is the customer’s
responsibility:
n To contact a qualified electrical
installer.
n To assure that electrical
installation is adequate and in
conformance with National
Electrical Code, ANSYNFPA 70-
latest edition*, and all local
codes and ordinance.
Failure to do so could result in
fire, electrical shock or other
personal injury.

This cooktop is equipped for
use with NATURAL gas. It is design-
certified by A.G.A. for NATURAL and
L.P. gas with appropriate conversion.
The serial/rating plate, located on the
bottom of the cooktop, has information
on the type of gas than can be used. If
this information does not agree with
the type of gas available, see your
Roper dealer.
D
n
Provide a aas

line of
314”rigid pipe to t<e coo-Gob location.
A smaller size pipe on longer runs
may result in insufficient gas supply.
Pipe-joint compounds, resistant to the
action of NATURAL and L.P. gas,
must be used.
E
n
If local codes and ordinances
permit, A.G.A.-design-certified, new
flexible metal tubing is recommended
for connecting cooktop to the to the
gas supply line. Do Not kink or
damage the flexible tubing when
moving the cooktop.

n
The supply line shall be
equipped with an approved shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in
the same
room as
the
range
and
should be in a location that allows
ease of opening and closing. Do Not
block access to shutoff valve.
w If rigid pipe is used as a
gas supply fine, acombination of 111
pipe fittings must be used to obtain
an in-line connection to the cooktop.
All strains must be removed from the
supply and fuel lines so the cooktop
will be level and in line.
H
n
The regulator must be
checked at a minimum of l-inch water
column above the set pressure. The
inlet pressure to the regulator should
be as follows for operation:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 7 inches
Maximum pressure 14 inches
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure 11 inches
Maximum pressure 14 inches
I
n
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (gauge) -
The cooktop and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than l/2 psig
(3.5kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (gauge) -
The cooktop must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing
its individual, manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than l/2
psig (3.5kPa).

A 120~volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-
ampere, fused electrical supply is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker box is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be
provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate
within wide voltage limits, but proper
grounding and polarity is necessary.
In addition to checking that the outlet
provides 120~volt power and is
correctly grounded, the outlet must be
checked by a qualified electrician to
see if it is wired with correct polarity.
Recommended grounding
method
For your personal safety, this
appliance must be grounded. This
appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible
shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a
mating
3-prong
grounding-type wall receptacle,
grounded in accordance with National
Electrical Code, ANSUNFPA 70-latest
edition* and all local codes and
ordinances. See Figure 1. If a mating
wall receptacle is not available, it is
the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a
properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.
