WARNING
Installation of cooktop cannot be such that the user is
required to reach over any of the burners to reach the knobs.
5.
Prepare the countertop cutout per the dimensions above and in Figure 2.
6.
Before placing drop-in cooktop into cabinet, determine which one of
the three knockout openings in the burner box (left side, right side or
rear) will be used for routing of the gas supply tubing to the pressure
regulator. After making selection, knockout the 1 inch plug. Place drop-
in cooktop into the prepared opening and secure to cabinet with four (4)
wood screws. (Not provided)
NOTE:
For models with a manifold extension, place the drop-in cooktop into
the prepared opening and secure to the cabinet with four (4) wood screws.
(Not provided)
7.
Route gas line through opening in burner box and connect the gas line
to the 3/8” flare fitting inside the burner box. Place nylon bushing over
gas line and insert bushing into opening in burner box.
NOTE:
For models with a manifold extension, connect the gas line to the
fitting just outside the burner box. Be sure to hold the fitting on the extension
with a wrench when tightening the gas connection. Failure to hold fitting
secure could result in a gas leak due to fitting being damaged.
CAUTION
Gas supply tubing within the confines of the appliance connection shall
be rigid or semi rigid metallic tubing.
It is imperative that the cabinet in which the cooktop is placed be
separated from other appliances so that the combustion air supply to
the top burners can not be affected in any way by any forced-air heating
appliance or its return air system or by any other source of positive or
negative air pressure. A negative air pressure created by another forced
air appliance may draw the flame down around the top burners and into
the cooktop resulting in damage to the burners and cooktop, as well
as possible personal injury and/or damage to vehicle. A positive draft
could cause the burner flame to lift-off the burner and go out resulting
in an uncontrolled escape of gas. Whenever the gas fumes reach an
open flame or another ignition source, an explosion and/or fire will occur
resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or loss of life.
8.
Be sure all openings in the cabinets around the gas line are sealed at
time of installation.
9.
Be sure burner knobs are in “OFF” position. Turn on gas supply. Check all
connections for leaks according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure
that the gas connection point is accessible with the appliance installed.
WARNING
Never check for leaks with an open flame. Apply
a soap and water solution to all joints to see if
bubbles are formed.
NOTE:
The appliance and its individual shutoff must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures in excess of ½ PSIG.
10.
Remove the top and the grate(s) from their packing - Install the grate(s)
on the top.
11.
Position the top over the burners and secure in place with two (2) phillips
screws provided.
12.
Your Suburban Drop-in Cook top is now ready for operation. Before
operating, read the safety information and operating instructions
contained in this manual.
13.
If installation of this product is in a portable counter top, the following
additional guidelines must be followed:
a.
Portable counter top is provided by installer and must be able to
support a minimum weight of 20 lbs.
b.
OEM must provide a label placed on the counter top that clearly
states the maximum weight that can be added to the portable counter
top after installation. (This should take into account the weight of the
cooking unit - 20 lbs.).
FOR
EXAMPLE:
Mounting bracket used is rated for 100 lbs.
OEM should weigh fabricated counter top. Subtract weight of
counter top (i.e. 20 lbs.) and weight of cooking unit (20 lbs.) from
100 lbs. The weight label should say no more than 60 lbs can be
put on the counter top.
c.
The surface material for the counter top must be rated for a
minimum of 200°F continuous operation temperature with the
maximum weight applied.
d.
Minimum clearances from combustible walls above and below
the counter top must be adhered to during operation.
e.
The OEM must provide a warning label placed on the counter top
that requires the unit to be cooled a minimum of 30 minutes after use
before storing.
