Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

3. Carefully lift the cooktop up and set aside. Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the cooktop. Both numbers are on the model/serial number plate located on left front underside of the burner box.

4. Unpack the burner grates, burner caps, simmer plate, grille grate, drip tray, spill guard, wave tray, wave plate, tile bezels, regulator, backguard and island trim. Items are either packaged under the cooktop or on the cooktop. Parts shipped with cooktop depend on model ordered.

5.The pressure regulator and flexible, stainless steel gas supply line connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after the cooktop is installed in the cutout. To assemble now, stand the cooktop on its side or back surface and complete this part of the pressure regulator/gas line connector assembly.

To connect the flexible, stainless steel connector to the pressure regulator requires a 1/2" nipple.

Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the burner box and in a position where you can reach the regulator cap.

IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making the connection too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when tightening fittings.

12. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the following instructions:

Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas connections for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, shut off gas valve controls and adjust connections. Then check connections again. Clean all detergent solution from cooktop.
