•This rangetop may be installed directly adjacent to existing 36” (91.4 cm) high base cabinets.

IMPORTANT: The top of the side trim MUST be 3/8” (.95 cm) above the adjacent base cabinet countertop.

• The rangetop CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance from the rangetop to such combustible surfaces above the 36” (91.4 cm) counter height.

• Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm), the maximum wall cabinet depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance must be 18” (45.7 cm) above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.

CAUTION

BURN HAZARD

To avoid risk of personal injury; the use of cabinets for storage above the appliance may result in a potential burn hazard. Combustible items may ignite, metallic items may become hot and cause burns. If a cabinet storage is to be provided the risk can be reduced by installing a rangehood that projects horizontally a minimum 5” (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of cabinets.

Electrical & Gas Requirements

Electrical Requirements

There is no connection necessary beyond plugging the unit into a polarized, grounded, 120 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. The minimum of 120 VAC is required for proper operation of gas ignition systems. This circuit MUST be grounded and properly polarized. The unit is equipped with a 16-SPT2 power cord.

Gas Connection

The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This rangetop uses a 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID

NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; verify electrical power is turned off at the breaker box and gas supply is turned off until the rangetop is installed and ready to operate, installation by an authorized installer only.

DANGER

GAS LEAK HAZARD

To avoid risk of personal injury or death;

The rangetop is designed specifi cally for natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation, verify that the model is compatible with the intended gas supply.

leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Before placing appliance in operation, always check for gas leaks with soapy water solution.

• DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

Manual shut-off valve:

This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line before the appliance in the gas stream and in a location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency. Any opening behind the rangetop should be sealed.

In Massachusetts: A “T” handle type manual valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the appliance.

IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualifi ed licensed plumber or gas service company.

Please provide the service person with this manual before work begins.

Pressure Regulator:

• All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and since a regulator is built into each unit at the factory. Under no condition bypass this built-in regulator.

• Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer, natural gas requires 5.0” W.C.P. and LP gas requires 10.0” W.C.P. Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator. The regulator

24” max.

(

61.0 cm) used on this range can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2”

PSI (14.0” W.C.P.). If the line pressure is in excess of that amount, a step

25” max.

(

65.4 cm) down regulator will be required.

• The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system.

Flexible Connections:

If the unit is to be installed with fl exible couplings and/or quickdisconnect fi ttings, the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA design-certifi ed fl exible connector of at least 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID

NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69. In Canada: CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances and CAN 1-6.9 M79 quick disconnect devices for use with gas fuel.

In Massachusetts: This appliance must be installed with a 36” (3foot) long fl exible gas connector.

General Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNING AND CAUTION INFORMATION WHEN

INSTALLING THIS APPLIANCE.

• All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the fl oor under the appliance should be sealed.

• Do not obstruct the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air.

Moving, Handling, and Unpacking

• Remove and discard all packing materials, including cardboard and tape on the outside of the rangetop.

• Remove the burner grates and styrofoam off the top cooking surface.

Be sure to remove the burner caps packaged in styrofoam below the burner grates.

• Some stainless steel parts may have a plastic protective wrap which must be peeled off . The interior should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove fi lm residues and any dust or debris before being used, then rinsed and wiped dry. Solutions stronger than soap and water are rarely needed.

Installation

Note: Refer to rangetop electrical

& gas requirements section for proper installation information.

WARNING

Moving hazard

To avoid risk of severe personal injury; this appliance requires two or more personnel while handling and moving.

Possible use of appliance moving devices is recommended.

Final Preparation

Some stainless steel parts may have a protective wrap, which must be peeled off .

All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with liquid cleaner designed for this material when soapy water will not do the job.

If build-up occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, or abrasive cloths, cleaners, or powders. If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel surface to remove encrusted material, soak area with hot, wet towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel surfaces. Scratches are almost impossible to remove. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.

Performance Checklist

qualifi ed installer should check top burner ignition.

See drawing for proper fl ame height on HI. The low fl ame should light at every port.
