the cooktop may damage them.
Deep fat fryers must not be installed next to gas cooktops. Gas
flames can ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 12" (305 mm) should be maintained between these two appliances. The minimum distance between two cooktops must be 4"
(100 mm).
Install the appliance so that the power cord or gas piping does not
come into contact with any portion of the cooktop which may become hot during use.
This appliance must be installed with its own shut off valve and the included gas pressure regulator. Both the valve and the regulator must be easily accessible to the consumer after the appliance is installed.
This appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system performed in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). This appliance must be isolated at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Any pipe connections must be made using a thread sealant approved for gas connections. Failure to correctly install these items could lead to a gas leak and subsequent explosion.
Safety distances above the appliance
There must be a safety distance of at least 30" (760 mm), b between the appliance and any objects above it. The overhead cabinet depth, c, if unprotected, must not exceed 13" (330 mm). The minimum distance of combustible surfaces located above and to the sides of the cooktop, d, is 18" (457 mm).
If the cabinet manufacturer recommends a greater distance, follow that manufacturers recommendation.
