■ Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same room but external to
the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It must be
accessible without removing the cooktop, and it should be in
a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the cooktop.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings should be reduced
at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on
the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or
severing existing wiring during installation.
Gas On Glass Cooktop models only:
1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a
covered surface.
2. Remove foam strip from the package containing literature.
Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-
side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip helps avoid damage to the underside of
the cooktop glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat
on uneven counters.
3. Place cooktop right side up into the cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel
to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the
countertop.
Make Gas Connection
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP
gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector
adapters (see C and G in the following illustration).
A. Gas supply line
B. Shutoff valve “open” position
C. To cooktop

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
