• To reduce the risk of explosion, fire, death, electric shock, scalding or injury to persons when using this
product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Installation
• Remove all tape and packing materials before using the cooktop. Dispose of all plastic bags after
unpacking the cooktop. Never allow children to play with packing materials.
• Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
• Remove all packing material and literature before connecting gas and electrical supply.
• Have your cooktop installed by a qualified installer.
• Your cooktop must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition). In Canada,
electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1
and/or local codes. Refer to step 3, Electrical Connections, in this manual.
• Be sure the wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand heat generated by the cooktop up to 200
℉.
• The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick. Install above the
cooktop with a clearance of not less than 1/4" between the hood and the underside of the combustible
material or metal cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered over the
appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE
LESS THAN 24 INCHES.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform
to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.
