General Information 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. 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 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 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, 120 volts, 60 Hz, 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 - 5.0" W.C.P. LP/Propane - 10.0" W.C.P. 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 and comply with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards. 15

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 – 5.0” W.C.P.
LP/Propane – 10.0” W.C.P.
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 and comply with ANSI Z21.41
and Z21.69 standards.
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
