Cut out the opening as shown in the diagram.
Heasure carefully when cutting the countertop,
making sure the sides of the opening are parallel
and the front and rear cuts are exactly
perpendicular to the sides.
The front of the opening must clear the front
support rail on the cabinet, and the rear of the
opening must clear the rear support of the cabinet.
Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminate
to prevent damage from chipping.
Radius corners of cutout and file to ensure smooth
edges and prevent corner cracking.
Rough edges inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fit can contribute to cracking
of the countertop laminate.
Countertop must be supported within 3" (7.6 cm)
of cutout.
[] GAS AND ELECTRICAL LOCATION
The position of the electrical supply receptacle and
the gas supply pipe entering the cabinet should be
positioned as shown in the shaded areas marked below.
The cooktop is equipped with a 4 ft (1.2m) power cord,
which should reach any desired location on the cabinet
walls.The cooktop must be disconnected from the power
supply before any servicing is carried out.

PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas
only at 5" (12.7 cm) of water column pressure or on
LP gas at 10" (25.4 cm) of water column pressure. It
is shipped from the factory set for natural gas. If you
decide to use this cooktop with LP gas, conversion
adjustments must be made by a service technician
or other qualified person.
A pressure regulator is to be connected in series
with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain
in series with the supply line, regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet
pressure to the regulator must be no more than
10" (25.4 cm) water column pressure for natural
gas, or 14" (35.5 cm) water column pressure
for LP gas. For checking the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least i" (2.5 cm) greater than
the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set
for 5" (12.7 cm) of water column pressure, the inlet
pressure must be at least 6" (15.2 cm).
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit,
the gas supply line into the cooktop should be
1/2" (13 mm) or 3/4" (19 mm) I.D.flexible metal
appliance connector three (0.9 m) to five feet (1.5 m)
in length.
IY1 PRESSURE TESTING
The maximum gas supply pressure for
the regulator supplied on this appliance is lq"
(35.5 cm) W.C.The test pressure for checking
this regulator must be at least 6" (15.2 cm)
W.C.for natural gas, and at least 11" (27.9 cm)
W.C.for LR It is shipped from the factory set
for natural gas at 5" (12.7 cm) W.C.
This appliance and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of V2 PSIG.
This appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than V2 PSIG.
