Proposition 65 Warning:
This product may contain a chemical known to the State
of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may
bear the following label as required by California:
Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of
carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean
ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.
Electric Safety
▯Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
▯For appliances equipped with a cord and plug, do not
cut or remove the ground prong. It must be plugged
into a matching grounding type receptacle to avoid
electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the
wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer
should have it checked by a certified electrician.
▯This appliance should be installed in accordance with
the National Electric Code or Canadian Electrical
Code. It is required that the cooktop be installed on a
grounded, non-GFCI branch circuit.
▯Installer-show the owner the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
▯Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
▯Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a certified technician. Installation,
electrical connections and grounding must comply
with all applicable codes.

9WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing
the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel to
prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally.
Cut out the countertop per the dimensions shown in the
section “Cabinet Requirements”.
Some solid surface materials require different cutting
methods. Consult with the solid surface manufacturer for
the correct cutting method needed. Apply heat reflective
tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427
(not included) around the cutout so that it folds over the
top and sides. Do not wrap the tape underneath the
cooktop. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost
flange of the cooktop. All corners should be covered with
tape.
Solid Surface Countertops-Counter Cutout
Seal the Cooktop with Foam Tape
Note: Failure to install the foam tape may affect burner
performance.
Apply the self adhesive foam tape in one continuous
rectangle directly to the counter around the perimeter of
the cutout as shown by the dotted line in the image
below. The foam tape should be flush with the edge of
the cutout.
Foam Tape Placement-Counter Cutout

permanent position. When the regulator is securely
installed on the manifold pipe, the conversion nut will be
easily accessible.
Pressure Regulator
9WARNING
Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure
regulator, except when converting to propane.
Adjustments could lead to leaks or cause incorrect
gas pressure to the appliance.
Side View Gas Cooktop Installation
Gas and Electrical Location
Connect the gas supply line to the unit pressure
regulator using a 1/2” flex gas line connector between
manual shut-off valve and pressure regulator. Always use
a new flex line.
Check supply line connections for leaks using a soap
solution or non-corrosive leak detection fluid. Do not use
a flame of any sort.
1. Turn on gas.
