IMPORTANT:
1. If the electrical supply circuit does not have a
grounding-type receptacle, it is the responsibility
of the customer to have the existing receptacle
changed by an electrician to a properly grounded
receptacle.
2. The power supply must be properly polarized.
Reverse polarity will result in continuous sparking
of the electrodes, even after flame ignition. If the
power supply is not properly polarized, it is the
responsibility of the customer to have the polarity
corrected.
3. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall
receptacle is properly grounded or polarized,
have it checked by a qualified electrician prior to
installing the cooktop.
4. Do not plug the cooktop into Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. The cooktop spark
ignition module can cause a GFCI to trip.

Place and center the cooktop within the cutout. Secure the
cooktop to the countertop utilizing the two (2) hold-down brackets
provided. Do not over-tighten the hold down bolts.
Over tightening the hold down bolts may result in improper
operation of the dual gas burners.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a hardening compound or caulking to
permanently seal the cooktop into place, as the unit
must be readily removable for service. If such a
hardening compound is used, removal of the unit will
be at the customer’s expense.
Attach the gas pressure regulator (included with the cooktop) to
cooktop pipe nipple inlet. For tight installations, the regulator may
be installed upstream from the pipe nipple, anywhere between the
shut-off valve and the cooktop.
Install a gas shut-off valve (not included with the cooktop) in the
main gas supply line in an accessible location near the cooktop.
Complete connection of the gas supply to the cooktop by installing
a minimum 1/2 inch flexible gas line (not included with the
cooktop) between the pressure regulator and the shut-off valve.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to the gas
pressure regulator, install the
regulator only after the cooktop is
mounted in its permanent position.
Ensure that the arrow on the
regulator points in the direction of
the gas flow towards the cooktop.

WARNINGS:
1. The maximum gas supply pressure to the
regulator must not exceed 1/2 pound per square
inch (3.5 kPa).
2. Verify that the proper gas supply has been
provided.
3. Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening
connections and fittings.
4. Do not use plumber's putty or Teflon tape on
gas compression connections. It can defeat the
proper sealing of these fittings. Use plumber's
putty or Teflon tape only on pipe thread fittings.
5. Turn all cooktop control valves to the “OFF”
position, then turn on the gas supply. Check all
supply lines and connections for leaks using a
soap and water solution. Do not use a flame to
check for leaks. After verifying that there are no
gas leaks, turn off the gas supply to the cooktop
by turning the gas shut-off valve to the off
position.
6. For LP gas installations, the LP gas tank must
have its own high-pressure regulator. This is in
addition to the pressure regulator supplied with
the cooktop.
