INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions
before attempting to install this
cooktop.
Inspection and Unpacking
Check the cooktop carton for visible
damage. If there is damage or even
creases in the carton, contact the
carrier, request an inspection and file
the appropriate freight claim. Do not
refuse shipment. Responsibility for
shipping damage is with the carrier
and the dealer or end user. Cut the
shipping straps, then carefully lift the
carton up from the cooktop. This will
help eliminate possible damage.
Remove, unwrap and temporarily lay
aside any parts that are not attached
to the cooktop. Make sure no parts are
left in the carton for accidental
disposal. Carefully inspect the
cooktop for damage.
48” COOKTOP = 48 3/16”
STEP 1
REMOVE PACKAGING
Before moving the cooktop indoors:
ƒ Remove outer carton and packing material from the
shipping base. The cooktop is now ready for removal
from the wooden base.
STEP 2
To simplify handling and to reduce the weight of
the cooktop:
ƒ Remove the grates.
ƒ Remove griddle/grill and housing.
STEP 3
POSITIONING/LEVELING
Built-in cooktops must be level to obtain
proper cooking results.
Built-in cooktops must be installed in a
cut-out and on a level surface, as illustrated.
SEALED TOP BURNER MODELS ARE
FACTORY SET FOR THE GAS FOR
WHICH THEY ARE TO BE USED. THEY
CANNOT BE CHANGED FROM ONE GAS
TO ANOTHER WITHOUT FACTORY
AUTHORIZATION.
Cooktops will either be set for use with
Natural gas or Propane (LP) gas. The
factory orifice setting is indicated by a
second alpha prefix letter in the model
number. The letter “T” indicates a Natural
gas setting. The letter “P” indicates a
Propane (LP) setting.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop should always
be installed at countertop height or higher.
DO NOT INSTALL THE COOKTOP LOWER
THAN ADJACENT COUNTERTOP HEIGHT,
DUE TO RISK OF A FIRE HAZARD.
STEP 4
ELECTRIC CONNECTION
This cooktop must be supplied with 120 volt, 60 Hz.
and connected to an individual, properly grounded
branch circuit protected by a 5 amp circuit breaker
or time delay fuse.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of shock hazard from this
appliance.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the
above specifications, it is recommended that a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
ƒLocate the electric supply within the area shown or
within reach of the cooktop’s six foot power cord.
ƒTo avoid tangling cord with items stored in the
cabinet, locate the receptacle or rear wall, inside
the cabinet.
STEP 5
CONNECTING THE COOKTOP TO GAS
Because hard piping restricts
movement of the cooktop, the us
of an A.G.A. certified flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended
unless local codes require a hard-
piped connection.
5-6. When using test pressures greater than
½ psig to pressure test the gas supply
system of the residence, disconnect the
range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of ½ psig or less to
test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-
off valve.
Never use an old connector when
installing a new product. If the hard
piping method is used, you must
carefully align the pipe; the cooktop
cannot be moved after the connection
is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint
compound on, or wrap pipe thread
with Teflon* tape all around male
(external) pipe threads.

5-1. Install a manual gas shut-off valve
in the gas line in an easily accessed
location outside the cooktop. Make
sure everyone operating the cooktop
knows where and how to shut off the
gas supply to the cooktop.
5-2. Install male ½” flare union adapter
to the ½” NPT internal thread at
inlet of the 90° elbow. Use a backup
wrench on the elbow fitting to avoid
damage.
5-3. Install male ½” or ¾” flare union
adapter to the NPT internal thread
of the manual shut-off valve, taking
care to use a wrench to back-up the
shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
5-4. Connect flexible metal appliance
connector to the adapter on the cooktop.
Position cooktop to permit connection at
the shut-off valve or vise versa.
5-5. When all connections have been made,
make sure all cooktop controls are in the
off position and turn on the main gas
supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector
at all joints and connections to check
for leaks in the system.
STEP 6
SURFACE BURNER OPERATION
SEALED BURNERS
Assemble top burners as shown. Check to be sure that
burner caps are securely seated. Burner cap
must completely engage into burner base to ensure
proper assembly.
•Check for proper ignition:
− Push in one control knob and turn 45° counter clock-
wise to LITE position.
− The igniter will spark and the burner will light; the
igniter will cease sparking when the burner is lit.
− First test may require some time, while air is flushed
out of the gas line.
− Turn knob to OFF.
− Repeat the procedure for each burner.
•Burner flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow or yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the
flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist,
check that the burner ports are not blocked, and check
the air mixture. If one of these conditions continues,
call for service.
STEP 7
