Must include a shutoff valve: 
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff 
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but 
external to the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent 
cabinet. It must be accessible without removing the cooktop, 
and it should be in a location that allows ease of opening and 
closing. Do not block access to shutoff 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: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet 
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
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 should 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.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be 
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any 
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system 
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure 
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to 
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
1. Open carton as instructed on product packaging.
2. Remove shipping materials and tape from cooktop.
3. Remove the removable grease filter by lifting the filter out.
4. For island or peninsula installations, go to the “Rotate Blower 
- Optional” section.
5. Using 2 or more people, remove the cooktop from the carton.
REMEMBER: An undercounter built-in oven cannot be 
installed under this cooktop.
