Burner Input Requirements
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).
For elevations above 6,560 ft (1999.5 m) a high altitude kit is
needed to avoid any reduced power output. See separate LP
gas conversion instructions sheet.

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. Do not unpack
or remove the grates and burner bases from the carton until
after the cooktop is installed to reduce the risk of scratching the
cooktop.
The parts shipped with the cooktop depend on the model
ordered. See the "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
can be assembled to the cooktop before or after the cooktop is
installed. See the "Make Gas Connection" section.
1. (Optional) Remove the foam strip from the hardware
package. Remove the backing from the foam strip. Apply the
foam strip with the adhesive side to the countertop on of the
edge of the cutout, front, back and sides.
NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the
cooktop frame free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat
on uneven countertops.
