Installation Instructions
Be sure the rangetop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. It is the
responsibility of the technician to make certain that your rangetop is properly installed.
Situations cause by improper installation are not covered under the warranty. Any
expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the
rangetop.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, or according to local building codes and gas regulations in your area.
GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units)
NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS:
Be sure this document is included in all gas rangetop appliances sold to consumers in
the State of Massachusetts.
NOTICE: Massachusetts law requires the following:
 Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
 Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36” maximum length)
flexible gas connector and
 A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
Have the dealer where you purchase your new rangetop install it or have them
recommend a qualified installer. Installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2
Installation Codes in Canada.
The rangetop should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe
or a certified flexible type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved
sealing compound which is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded
connections.
Important: Do not apply pressure directly to the rangetop manifold pipe when
tightening supply connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the
pressure regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench
during the tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted and
split and cause a dangerous leak.
The installation of rangetops designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation
must conform with the Manufactured Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A. Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada or, when such standards are not applicable, with local codes.

The installation of rangetops designed for recreational vehicle installation must
conform with state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the
standard for recreational vehicles. ANSI A119.2.2–1982 in the U.S.A. or CAN/CGA
Z240.4.2 in Canada.
The installation of appliances designed for recreational park trailers must conform
with state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the standard for
recreational park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
Note: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to
check for gas leaks. Use a soap solution, 75% water, 25% dish washing soap. It is
possible for connections made at the factory to leak, due to vibration encountered in
transportation. Make certain you have checked them all, and repair any connections
that leak.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psig.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
CLEARANCES
All units must be installed in accordance to minimum rear and side wall clearances
and clearances extended vertically above cooking top which are stated on the serial
plate (the serial plate is located on the back of the unit.)
Make sure that the wall coverings, countertops and cabinets around the rangetop can
withstand temperatures of up to 200˚ F/93˚ C generated by the rangetop.
 Gas line shut-off valve
To reduce the possibility of gas leaks, apply Teflon tape
or a thread compound approved for use with LP or
Natural gases to all threaded connections.
 Connect the supplied ½” threaded pipe to the units
regulator located on the back left of the unit. We suggest
using a ½” female to 3/8” male flare adaptor on the end
of the ½” threaded pipe supplied.
 Use a 5/8” flexible appliance connector to connect your
gas supply to the appliance. A 3 foot length is
recommended for ease of installation but other lengths
are acceptable. Never use an old connector when
installing a new range.
 Check for leaks using a leak detector or soapy water, 75%
water, 25% dish washing soap.

It is the responsibility of the installer to make certain that the rangetop is properly
adjusted at the time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or
improper installation are not covered under the warranty. Any expenses incurred due
to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the appliance.

Wall Installation
If a range hood is installed above the rangetop, maintain a 30” (76.2 cm) minimum
clearance between the rangetop and the bottom of the range hood. The range hood
must exhaust outside. For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood

Installing the Rangetop
 Remove the rangetop from its package and set aside all burners, burner caps
and grates.
 Gently slide in the cooktop into the cut-out, make sure your cut-outs are
there for the gas connection and electrical hookup (if you choose to use it).
 Once this is done you’re now ready to slide the rangetop all the way back to
the wall.
 Install all burners and burner caps
 Install all grates.
Connecting gas to rangetop
This rangetop is designed to operate at a pressure of 4” of water column on natural
gas or 10” of water column on propane gas (LPG).
Make sure you are supplying your rangetop with the type of gas for which it is
designed. It’s shipped for use with NG. This rangetop is convertible for use on
natural gas (LPG) also. When using this rangetop on LPG gas, conversion must be
made by a qualified LPG installer before attempting to operate the rangetop on that
gas.
For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be
between 4” and 5” of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10” and 12” of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1” more than the operating manifold pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the rangetop manifold must remain in
the supply line regardless of whether Natural (NG) or Propane (LP) gas is being
used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the rangetop to the gas supply
should be 3 feet/91.4 cm max. in length for easy installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors should be single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet/182.9 cm in
length.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooking appliance (if
applicable) and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget
to relight the pilots on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the rangetop, the use of a CSA certified
flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-

UGP-30E – CT2

piped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new rangetop. If
the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe.
To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound resistant to NG gases on all male
external pipe threads.
1. In an easily accessible location, install a service manual gas shut off valve. Be
sure everyone operating the rangetop knows where and how to shut off the
gas supply to the cook top.
2. Use a flexible gas line to connect to the 1/2” fitting, located on the bottom
right hand corner underneath the rangetop.
3. When all connections have been made, be sure all rangetop controls are in
the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Check for gas leaks
by using a 75% water, 25% dish washing soap solution. If a gas leak is
present, shut off gas immediately, tighten all connections, and retest for
leaks.
!
4. Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the
appliance shall be sealed.
