FIRE/EXPLOSION
HAZARD
IF THE INFORMATION IN
THIS MAN AL IS NOT
FOLLOWED EXACTLY, A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RES LT CA SING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJ RY, 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.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
The cooktop must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of codes, with the ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-latest edition. Installation should
be made by a licensed electrician. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
For personal safety, this applian e
must be properly grounded. DO NOT
under any ir umstan es ut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power plug.
WARNING
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
Before placing the cooktop into operation,
always check for gas leaks with a soapy
water solution or other acceptable method.
DO NOT SE AN OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
CAUTION
This appliance shall not be used for
space heating. This information is based
on safety considerations.

El ctrical & Gas R quir m nts
Electrical Requirements
Th r is no conn ction n c ssary b yond
plugging th unit into a polariz d,
ground d, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. A
minimum of 120VAC is r quir d for prop r
op ration of gas ignition syst ms. DO NOT
us a GFI circuit. This circuit, how v r, MUST
b ground d and prop rly polariz d. Th
unit is quipp d with 16-3 SPT2 pow r 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
Th gas supply (s rvic ) lin must b th
sam siz or gr at r than th inl t lin of th
applianc . All cooktops us a 1/2” (1.3 cm)
I.D. NPT (Sch40) inl t. S alant on all pip
joints must b r sistiv to LP/Propan gas.
Th s cooktops ar d sign d sp cifically for
natural gas. An (LP) gas conv rsion kit ships
standard with v ry unit. B for b ginning
installation v rify that th mod l is
compatibl with th int nd d gas supply.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required
must be performed by a qualified licensed
plumber or gas service company. T e
proper conversion kit must be ordered
from your aut orized service agency or
dealer.
Manual s ut-off valve:
• Th install r-suppli d valv must b
install d in th gas s rvic lin ah ad of
th applianc and r gulator in th gas
str am and in a position wh r it can b

m rg ncy.
In Massac usetts: A “T” handl typ
manual gas valv must b install d in
gas supply lin to th applianc .
Pressure regulator:
• All h avy-duty, comm rcial-typ cooking
quipm nt must hav a pr ssur r gulator
on th incoming s rvic lin for saf and
ffici nt op ration, sinc s rvic pr ssur
may fluctuat with local d mand. Th
r gulator suppli d with th cooktops must
b install d b for any gas conn ctions
ar mad .
• Manifold pr ssur should b ch ck d with
a manom t r; natural gas r quir s 5.0”
WCP and LP/Propan r quir s 10.0” WCP.
Incoming lin pr ssur upstr am for th
r gulator must b 1” WCP high r than th
manifold pr ssur in ord r to ch ck th
r gulator. Th r gulator us d on this
cooktop can withstand a maximum input
pr ssur of 1/2 PSI (14.0” WCP). If
t e line pressure is in excess of t at
amount, a stepdown regulator will be
required.
• Th applianc must b disconn ct d from
th gas supply piping syst m during any
pr ssur t sting of that syst m.
1312
Rigid Connections:
• Incoming gas is brought from an intak
pip (not suppli d) at th r ar of th unit
to th pr ssur r gulator; th n to th
manifold pip for distribution. Th only
conn ction n c ssary is from th s rvic
supply, through th shut-off valv (not
suppli d), to this intak pip (not
suppli d) to th r gulator suppli d, but
not conn ct d through th cooktop.
In Massac usetts: This applianc must b
install d with a 36” (3-foot) long fl xibl gas
conn ctor.
LP/Propane Conversion
Th RDGSU mod ls ar fi ld conv rtibl to

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.
