Must include a shut-off valve:
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.
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
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 of parts supplied with your
cooktop.
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.
3.
Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down along
the left and right sides of the cooktop trim.
NOTE:
The foam strip helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters and avoids damage to the countertop surface.
4.
Using 2 or more people, turn cooktop right side up.
Install Optional Backguard
36" (91.4 cm) and 48" (121.9 cm) models may require a
backguard. See “Cabinet Dimensions” in the “Location
Requirements” section for installation requirements. See
the “Tools and Parts” section for information on ordering.
Remove island trim and attach backguard using 6 screws;
insert 3 from the front and 3 from the back (9" [22.9 cm]
backguard shown).
