DANGER
CAUTION
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
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’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.
BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn hazard.
Combustible items may ignite, metallic items may
become hot and cause burns. If a cabinet storage
is to be provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
WARNING
CHEMICAL HAZARD
If not installed, operated and maintained
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, this product could expose
you to substances in fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
For example, benzene is a chemical which is part
of the gas supplied to the cooking product. It
is consumed in the flame during combustion.
However exposure to a small amount of benzene
is possible if a gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde and
soot are byproducts of incomplete combustion.
Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather than
yellow flame will minimize incomplete combustion.
CAUTION
Before placing the cooktop into operation, always
check for gas leaks with a soapy water solution
or other acceptable method. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
CAUTION
This appliance shall not be used for space heating.
This information is based on safety considerations.
WARNING

prong from the plug. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded. DO NOT
under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power plug.
WARNING
Prior to installation, ensure that the local
distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas
pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are
compatible. The adjustment conditions for this
appliance are stated on the label (or data plate).

Electrical & Gas Requirements
Electrical Requirements
There is no connection necessary beyond plugging
the unit into a polarized, grounded, 230 volt,
50/60Hz, 15 amp circuit. A minimum of 230VAC
is required for proper operation of gas ignition
systems. DO NOT use a GFI circuit. This circuit,
however, MUST be grounded and properly
polarized. The unit is equipped with 16-3 SPT2
power cord.
Note: If electrical power is not supplied or is
interrupted, the open top burners will have to be lit
manually with a match.
Gas Connection
The gas supply (service) line must be the same
size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance.
All cooktops use a 1/2” (1.3 cm) I.D. NPT (Sch40)
inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive
to LP/Propane gas. These cooktops are designed
specifically for natural gas. An (LP) gas conversion
kit must be purchased separately. Before beginning
installation verify that the model is compatible with
the intended gas supply.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be
performed by a qualified licensed plumber or gas
service company. The proper conversion kit must
be ordered from your authorized service agency
or dealer.
Manual shut-off valve:
• The installer-supplied valve must be installed in
the gas service line ahead of the appliance and
regulator in the gas stream and in a position
where it can be reached quickly in the event of an
emergency.
• Manifold pressure should be checked to ensure it is
correct based on the gas type and pressure of the
country or region.
Rigid Connections:
• Incoming gas is brought from an intake pipe
(not supplied) at the rear of the unit to the
pressure regulator; then to the manifold pipe for
distribution. The only connection necessary is from
the service supply, through the shut-off valve (not
supplied), to this intake pipe (not supplied) to the
regulator supplied, but not connected through the
cooktop.
LP/Propane Conversion
The EVGC models are field convertible. The orifice
spuds and regulator must be physically changed.
See conversion kit and instructions which must be
purchased separately. Gas conversions and initial
installation adjustments are not the responsibility of
the manufacturer.
Initial Ignition of Burners
All cooktops are tested before leaving the factory.
Field adjustments may be necessary for proper
mixture of gas and air for proper operation. When the
cooktop is connected to gas and electrical service,
it should be adjusted by a qualified technician. If
it is not, contact your dealer for the name of their
authorized service agency in your area.
Proper Lighting and Shutdown Instructions
1. To ignite the surface burners, turn the knob counter
clockwise to any position.
2. Upon ignition of the surface burner, turn the knob
to the desired position, (HI, Med, or Low).
3. To shutdown the burner, turn knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
4. In case of failure, shut the gas OFF using the
installer supplied manual shut-off valve.
CAUTION
Before placing the cooktop into operation, always
check for gas leaks with a soapy water solution
or other acceptable method. DO NOT USE AN
OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.

General Informatiomn
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn hazard.
Combustible items may ignite, metallic items may
become hot and cause burns. If a cabinet storage
is to be provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
CAUTION
This appliance shall not be used for space heating.
This information is based on safety considerations.
• All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in
the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• Disconnect the electrical supply to the appliance
before servicing.
When removing cooktop for cleaning and/or service:
• Shut off gas at main supply
• Disconnect AC power supply
• Disconnect gas line to the inlet pipe.
• Lift appliance out of cabinet cutout.
Electrical Requirement
Normal grounded household current, 230 volts,
50/60Hz, 15 amps, single phase. Electrical installation
should comply with national and local codes.
Air Supply and Ventilation
Means must be provided for any heavy-duty cooking
appliance to exhaust combustion waste product to
the outside of the building. It is recommended that
the cooktop be set under a powered, vented exhaust
hood, or non-vented recirculating hood. Nothing
should obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
Gas Manifold Pressure
Natural gas – 20-25 mbar
LP/Propane – 30-50 mbar
Flexible Connections
If the unit is to be installed with flexible couplings
and/or quick disconnect fittings, the installer must use
a flexible connector of at least 1/2” I.D. (1.3 cm) NPT
with suitable strain reliefs.

Final Preparation
• New units are cleaned at the factory to remove
any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining
from the manufacturing process. Some stainless
steel parts may have a plastic protective wrapper
which must be peeled off. The cooktop should
be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water and
then rinsed and wiped dry to remove these film
residues and any installation dust or debris before
being used for food preparation.
• All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly
with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleanser
designed for this material if build-up occurs. DO
NOT USE steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or
powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to
remove encrusted material, soak with hot, wet cloths
to loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon
scraper. DO NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any
other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches
are almost impossible to remove.
Performance Checklist
A qualified installer should carry out the following
checks:
• Check top burner ignition. The low flame should
light at every port.
• Starting with the left front burner, turn the
corresponding knob to the HI position – see drawing
for proper flame height.
• Repeat steps for other burners.
