The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop enclosure or cabinet. It should be in
a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the 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.
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the left front underside
of the burner base.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on your model ordered. See the "Tools
and Parts" section for a complete list parts supplied with your
cooktop.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install 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: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Rating - Altitude
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 need to 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
The cooktop 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
/ psi (3.5 kPa).

pressures equal to or less than
The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply
line connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after
the cooktop is installed in the cutout. See the "Make Gas
Connection" section.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface.
