IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this cooktop must conform with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition in the United
States, or in Canada, with the Canadian Fuel Gas Code,
CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA B149.2.
This cooktop has been design certified by International
Approval Services (I.A.S). As with any appliance using
gas and generating heat, there are certain safety
precautions you should follow. You will find them in the
Use and Care Guide, read it carefully.
• Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
• This cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition in the United States, or in
Canada, with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1 Part 1.
• The burners can be lit manually during an
electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the
Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when
lighting burners manually.
• Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above the cooktop. Children could be
seriously burned climbing on the cooktop to reach
items.
• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Never use your cooktop for warming or heating
the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop without
adequate ventilation can be hazardous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
The electrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while gas line connections are
being made. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
Installing the Cooktop
A roll of foam tape is supplied and packed in the
literature package. Install the tape around the perimeter
of the metal flange of the burner box, at a distance of
1/4" from the outer edge. Apply the exposed adhesive
side of the tape against the metal flange (see figure
above). Remove the protective film from the
underside of the tape before inserting the cooktop
into the countertop opening.
NOTE: This tape seals the underside of the cooktop to
the counter. Do not remove this foam tape. This tape
prevents entry of air that may interfere with proper gas
combustion, and prevents liquids from leaking under the
cooktop.
Insert cooktop into countertop cutout so that full width of
tape seals to cutout edge. NOTE: To avoid injury and
product damage, only suspend cooktop from cutout by
means of cooktop metal flange. Never suspend cooktop
from cutout by means of cooktop glass edges.
