Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Cooktop for Installation

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the cooktop. Both numbers are located on the center underside of the burner box.

Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped with the cooktop depend on the model ordered. See “Tools and Parts” section for a complete list of parts supplied with the cooktop.

Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during installation.

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. See “Make Gas Connection” section.

1.Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down on a covered surface.

2.Remove foam strip from hardware package. Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around bottom of cooktop, ¹⁄₁₆" (1.6 mm) from the edge of the stainless steel frame sides and back.

NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the cooktop frame free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven counters.
