Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located on the underside of the cooktop base.
- The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents or fans.
- All openings in the wall or floor where the cooktop is to be installed must be sealed.
- Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
- Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical Requirements" section.
- Proper gas supply connection must be available. See "Gas Supply Requirements" section.
- The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its side or rear flanges.
- The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in "Cabinet Dimensions" section so that they are accessible without requiring removal of the cooktop.
- Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as shown to provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord, and to allow the rating label to be visible.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate, or sustain other damage.
Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements
The installation of this cooktop must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When such standard is not applicable, use the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or local codes.
In Canada, the installation of this range must conform with the current standards CAN/CSA-Z240.1, latest edition, or with local codes.
Cabinet Dimensions
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

Note: After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If a cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other obstruction) in the base cabinet is required. The drawer depth may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the regulator.
Electrical Requirements
WARNING: Risk of electric shock.
- Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
- Do not remove the ground prong.
- Do not use an adapter.
- Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: The cooktop must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
- National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169-7471
- CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A, fused electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this cooktop be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet provides 120 V power and is correctly grounded.
The wiring diagrams are provided with this cooktop. See the "Wiring Diagrams".
Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING: Explosion Hazard
- Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
