GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space located above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is provided, 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.

Wall Outlet Location
NOTE: If an outlet is not available, have one installed by a qualified technician.
Installation
Insert the cooktop into the countertop opening.
Note: After inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening, make sure the unit is sitting on the metal flange around the top of the burner box. Cooktop must not sit on the porcelain top. Avoid cutting an oversized hole in the countertop.
Clamp Down Information
Once the cooktop is installed in the counter opening, you must clamp the unit down as shown. To clamp down, insert the bracket with the offset side of the angle into the slots on each side of the unit. The thumb screw should then be run through the bracket, up against the bottom of the counter. Tighten until the unit draws down.
Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
- This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4″ (10.2 cm) of manifold pressure only.
- A pressure regulator is connected in series with the manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line.
- For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must be no more than 14″ (35.6 cm) of water column (W.C.) pressure.
- For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ (2.5 cm) (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4″
(10.2 cm) of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5″ (12.7 cm). - The gas supply line to the cooktop should be ½” (1.3 cm) or ¾” (7.9 cm) pipe.
LP/Propane Gas Conversion
- This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.
- If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with LP/Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices in the package containing the installation Instructions Manual, in a bag marked “FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION”. Follow the installation instructions packaged with the orifices.
- The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all local codes and requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
WARNING
Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in personal injury and property damage.
Important:
Remove all packing material and literature from the cooktop before connecting the gas and electrical supply to the cooktop.
Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where you can reach the access cap.
WARNING FIRE HAZARD.
Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die-cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.
Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in order: 1- manual shutoff valve, 2- ½” nipple, 3- ½” flare union adapter, 4- flexible connector, 5- ½” flare union adapter, 6- ½” nipple, pressure regulator.
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked. The supply line should be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for the gas to move through the gas line.
Check for leaks.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.
WARNING
Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check the alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not been moved.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than ½ psig (3.5 kPa or 14″ (35.6 cm) water column).
Isolate the cooktop 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 psig (3.5 kPa or 14″ (35.6 cm) water column).
