IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
The minimum distances given in these Installation instructions are to combustible surfaces, and must be observed to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop.

The cooktop must not be installed over a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage the appliances.
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.
The power cord and a flexible gas connection line must be attached in such a way that they are not in contact with moving parts of kitchen elements (e.g. a drawer) and are not subject to mechanical stress.
The safety distances listed on the following pages must be carefully maintained.
Never use a sealant unless expressly stipulated. The sealing tape of the appliance ensures adequate sealing to the countertop.
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.
In Massachusetts installation must be performed by a licensed plumber/gas fitter.
