Cabinet Base

Recommended

Measure carefully when cutting countertop. Make sure sides of opening are parallel and rear and front cuts are exactly perpendicular to sides.

The Monogram stainless steel gas cooktop is designed to fit in a 42" or larger base cabinet. If the cooktop is installed into a 36" cabinet base, modifications may be required. A 36" cabinet base must allow for installation of hold-down clips at the sides. The side walls may need to be cut away to provide this space.

The countertop cutout for cooktop must be:

35-5/16" min. to 35-7/16" max. wide

18-7/8" min. to 19" max. deep

Allow at least 3-3/8" clearance between back of cutout and vertical combustible wall.

Allow at least 11-9/16" clearance from right and left side of cutout to adjacent wall.

Allow at least 2-3/4" clearance between front of cutout and front edge of countertop.

The cooktop chassis occupies 5-1/2" space below countertop.

If installing cooktop above a cabinet with drawers, it may be necessary to use a shorter length drawer to allow clearance for gas connection.

In some cases, two 3/8" I.D. 45° elbows and a pipe nipple may be added between regulator and cooktop to move regulator further back in order to avoid interference with drawer.

NOTE: Some countertops made from solid surface materials, such as Corian® may require special cutout preparation (such as radius corners and aluminum foil tape). Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific instructions.

Optional Combination Installations.

This cooktop may be installed in combination with a ZVB36 Monogram Downdraft Vent, with a ZTD910 Warming Drawer, or a ZET1038 single wall oven. See “Optional Installations”, pages 9 through 11, for cutout and clearances of these installations.

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.
