INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU START

Ensure the countertop is square and level and ensure no

US structural members interfere with space requirements.

Ensure that there is a power supply receptacle (110-120V 60Hz) within reach of the cooktop power cord (30" from the middle of the product). The main cable should not touch any hot metal parts.

Make sure the cooktop is connected to a power supply socket that is electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code ANSI/FPA 70 or CSA 22.2 (Canada).

Make sure the countertop is made of a heat resistant material.

We recommend that the exposed bare wood edges of the cutout be sealed with an oil based paint or moisture proof polyurethane to prevent possible damage from moisture creeping between the cooktop trim and the benchtop. We recommend using easy-to-clean finishes for the wall surfaces surrounding the cooktop to aid removal of any cooking stains resulting from use of the cooktop.

GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION

This appliance can be used with either LP gas or Natural gas and is factory set for use with Natural gas.

A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters).

Gas connection to the product must use the elbow supplied with a 1/2" NPT external thread.

Ensure the blue washer (supplied) is located between the elbow and the product inlet. Failure to use this will cause a gas leak.

(Note: this diagram is of GC36 but is similar for GC901 and GC901M).
