PREPARATION
Before moving the rangetop, remove the grates, burner caps, and any other loose items.
The rangetop must be mounted on a stable platform, as illustrated on the following pages. The
platform must include a 6” x 12” [15.2 x 30.5 cm] cutout at the left rear to allow for the gas and
electrical connections. The platform must also be level to ensure an even cooking surface, especially
for those models featuring a griddle. The platform should be a minimum of 3/4” [19 cm] thick to
support the weight of the unit. For large units 48” [1.2m] and wider, a center structural element
inside the cabinet, under the platform, may be necessary.
GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CLEARANCES
If not already in place, install a gas shut-off valve in an
easily accessible location for servicing of the rangetop.
Make sure all users of the rangetop know where this shut-
off is located, and how to shut off the gas. Any openings
in the wall or floor behind the appliance must be sealed.
The Installation Clearances on the following pages show
where the “G” and “E” zones should be located.
The rangetop is designed to be installed nearly
flush to the rear wall*. It may be necessary to
reposition the gas supply and power receptacle
/ junction box in order to accommodate the
rangetop when pushed back against the wall.
The power supply cord when plugged in, or
junction box should protrude no more than
2-1/2” [6.4 cm] from the rear wall.
* Unless installed in an island with no rear wall.
CABINETRY
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can
be reduced by installing the required vent hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” [12.7 cm]
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
