vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• What to do if you smell gas:
 Do not try to turn on any appliance.
 Do not touch any electrical switch. Do not use any phone in your building.
 Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the
gas supplier's instructions.
 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.
• Save any nozzles removed from the appliance for future use.
• The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooktop should be 13

INSTALLATION
Installation, adjustment of controls and maintenance must only be carried
out by qualified personnel.
Incorrect installation may cause damage to persons, animals or property
for which the Manufacturer will not be considered responsible. During the
life of the system, the automatic safety or regulating devices on the
appliance may only be modified by the manufacturer or by his duly
authorized dealer.
Installing the Cooktop
Check that the appliance is in good condition after having removed the outer
packaging and internal wrappings from around the various loose parts. In case
of doubt, do not use the appliance and contact qualified personnel.
Never leave packaging materials (cardboard, bags, Styrofoam, nails, etc.)
within the reach of children since these items could become sources of
danger.
The measurements of the opening made in the top of the modular cabinet and
into which the cooktop will be installed are indicated in Fig. 1 and the following
chart. Always comply with the measurements given for the hole into which the
appliance will be recessed (see Figs. 1 and 2).

Sealing the Cooktop
The cooktop has a special seal that prevents liquid from getting into the cabinet
below. Follow these instructions exactly in order to apply this seal correctly:
Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still
adheres to the seal itself.
Turn the cooktop over and correctly position seal "E" (Fig. 3) under the edge of
the cooktop itself so that the outer side of the seal perfectly matches the outer
edge of the cooktop. The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping.
Once the seals are securely and evenly fixed to the cooktop, press them into
place with the fingers and remove the strip of protective paper from the seal. Set
the plate into the hole made in the cabinet.
Attach brackets "G" to the bottom of the cooktop with screws "F" until each
bracket contacts the underside of the cabinet (Fig. 4). In fastening the brackets,
do not use a mechanical or electric screwdriver. Instead, use a hand-operated
screwdriver and exert only moderate force.
The adjacent walls (left, right or behind) that exceed the cooktop in height must
be at a minimum distance from the cut hole as indicated in Fig. 1 and the chart
on the preceding page.
In order to avoid accidentally touching the hot cooktop bottom, it is necessary to
put a horizontal wooden insert, attached by screws, at a minimum distance of 6"
below the lower surface of the cooktop (see Fig. 1).
Room Ventilation
To ensure proper operation of the appliance, be sure that the room where it is
installed has adequate ventilation.

Gas Connection
Natural Gas and Propane Gas
Natural gas installations require the connection of a gas regulator to the cooktop.
You will find this regulator among the accessories supplied with the appliance.
Assemble the regulator (noting the direction of gas flow) and transition pieces
(supplied) in accordance with the figure below.
The transition piece on the supply side of the regulator must be provided by the
installer. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections
tested for gas leaks.
Be sure that the supply connection point is accessible with the appliance
installed.
WARNING: Be sure the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with
the flue or flue outlet of an under-counter oven.
Electrical Connection
The electrical connections of the appliance must be carried out in compliance
with local standards and provisions.
Before connecting the appliance, check that:
1. The electrical capacity of the main electrical supply and current sockets suit
the maximum power rating of the appliance. (See the data label attached to
the bottom of the cooktop.)
2. The socket or system has an efficient ground connection in compliance with
local standards and provisions. The manufacturer is not responsible for failure
to comply with these provisions.

7
When the appliance is connected to electrical power by a socket:
• Fit a standard plug suited to the load indicated on the data label to the cable.
• Fit the wires following Fig. 5, noting the following correspondences:
Letter L (live) = wire
Letter N (neutral) = wire
Ground symbol = green or yellow-green wire
• Never use adapters or shunts for connection since these could create false
contacts and lead to dangerous overheating.
• The outlet must be accessible after the cooktop is built in.
When the appliance is connected directly to the electrical main:
• Install an omnipolar circuit-breaker between the appliance and the electrical
main. This circuit-breaker should be sized in compliance with local installation
regulations.
• Remember that the ground wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker.
• For optimum safety, the electrical connection may also be protected by a high-
sensitivity differential circuit-breaker.
You are strongly advised to fix the yellow-green ground wire to an efficient
grounding system

ADJUSTMENTS
Always disconnect the appliance from the electrical power source before
making any adjustments. All seals must be replaced by the technician
when any adjustments are completed.
Taps
"Reduced rate" adjustment:
1. Switch on the burner and turn the corresponding knob to the "Reduced rate"
position (small flame icon, Fig. 8, page 10).
2. Remove knob "M" (Fig. 6), which is simply pressed onto its support rod.
3. Insert a small screwdriver "D" into hole "C" (Fig. 6) and turn the throttle screw
to the right or left until the burner flame has been adequately regulated to the
"Reduced rate" position.
Check that the flame does not go out when the knob is sharply switched from the
"Full on" to the "Reduced rate" position.
It is understood that only burners operating with Natural Gas or City Gas
should be subjected to the above-mentioned adjustments. The screw must
be fully locked when the burners operate with Propane (turn clockwise).
The operations described above can be carried out easily, whatever the position
of the cooktop or however it is fastened to the work surface.
THE BURNERS DO NOT REQUIRE ANY REGULATION OF INCOMING AIR.

CONVERSIONS
Replacing Nozzles
The burners can be adapted to suit different
types of gas by fitting the nozzles that corres-
pond to the gas used. To do this, it is
necessary to remove the burner heads and
use a straight key "B", to unscrew the nozzle
"A" (see Fig. 7) and replace it with a nozzle
corresponding to the gas used.
Be sure the nozzle is seated tightly.
After making these replacements, the technician must regulate the burners
as described in Adjustments on the previous page and apply the label
corresponding to the new gas type in place of that previously applied. This
label is contained in the spare nozzle bag.
For ease of the fitter, we have prepared a table indicating the flow capacities, the
heat capacities of the burners, the diameter of the nozzles and the working
pressure for the various types of gas.
