*If a countertop backsplash is used, it must be constructed of non-combustible materials (such as masonry, ceramic, granite, stainless steel, etc.) whenever the cutout to rear vertical surface is less than 3-3/8".

IMPORTANT: Always maintain 2-3/4" Min. clearance from cutout to front edge of countertop.

Advance planning

Refer to “Installation Preparation” for information on appropriate placement and necessary clearances when planning installation.

Avoid placing cabinetry directly above cooktop when possible.

If cabinetry is used above cooking surface:

Use cabinets no more than 13" deep.

Maintain 30" minimum clearance between cooktop and unprotected cabinets directly above cooktop.

If clearance is less than 30", protect cabinet bottoms with flame-retardant millboard at least 1/4" thick, or gysum board at least 3/16" thick, covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or .02" thick copper.

Clearance between cooktop and protected cabinetry must not be less than 24".

An exhaust hood that projects at least 5" beyond front of cabinets can reduce risk of burns caused by reaching over heated surface units.

Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have 18" minimum clearance between countertop and cabinet bottom.

Use the Monogram gas stainless steel cook- top with any 36" or wider exhaust hood with 350 CFM or greater air flow rating.

Installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, the gas cook- top must comply with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.

ZGU375LS, ZGU375NS specifications

The GE Monogram ZGU375LS and ZGU375NS are two exceptional built-in gas cooktops designed to elevate your culinary experience with innovative features and high-quality performance. Both models come with a sleek design that seamlessly integrates into any kitchen décor, providing a professional-grade cooking surface for home chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of these cooktops is the powerful gas burner system. The ZGU375LS and ZGU375NS are equipped with five sealed burners that deliver precise heat control, ranging from a low simmer to an intense boil. The impressive output of up to 18,000 BTUs on the largest burner ensures that you can quickly bring pots to a boil, while the low-output burners are perfect for delicate sauces and simmering. This versatility allows for various cooking techniques, including sautéing, frying, and simmering, making these cooktops suitable for a wide range of recipes.

Safety is also a top priority in the design of the ZGU375LS and ZGU375NS. Both cooktops feature an innovative flame failure system, which automatically shuts off the gas supply if a flame goes out unexpectedly. This provides peace of mind for homeowners and ensures a safer cooking environment, particularly for families with children.

The cooktops are designed with a robust stainless-steel finish, offering not only a modern aesthetic but also durability and ease of cleaning. The continuous grates provide a stable cooking surface and allow for easy movement of pots and pans, enhancing the cooking process. Additionally, the grates are dishwasher safe, simplifying the maintenance procedure.

Another advanced technology featured in these models is the integrated backlit knobs, which enhance usability and style. These knobs illuminate when the burners are in use, offering clear visibility even in low-light conditions. This feature combines functionality with a sophisticated design, making the cooktops a striking focal point in the kitchen.

In summary, the GE Monogram ZGU375LS and ZGU375NS are built to meet the demands of modern cooking with their powerful burner system, safety features, elegant design, and user-friendly technologies. Whether you're a novice or an experienced chef, these cooktops provide the performance and reliability needed to elevate your cooking experience to new heights.
