Install Cooktop

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.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or
severing existing wiring during installation.
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base
ends. This is the recommended location. Clamping brackets
can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base
bottom, if necessary.

needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching
the countertop.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Typical flexible connection

gas to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector
adapters (see C and G in the following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
