INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE APPLIANCE AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

IMPORTANT: SAVE FOR THE LOCAL INSPECTOR’S USE.

The installer should also show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

If you smell gas, follow these steps:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, authorized service agency or the gas supplier.

Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all controls are in the OFF position.

• Power Supply: 120 Volts, 15 Ampere, 60 Hz. This appliance is factory equipped with a 5-foot power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades).

• To prevent electrical shock, the third ground prong should not under any circumstances, be cut or removed. It must be plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120-volt circuit.

• A separate circuit is recommended which is in compliance with the NEC. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer should have it checked by a qualified electrician.

• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

• The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition. (In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2 Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes.)

These dimensions are for combustible surfaces. For a noncombustible surface over the cooktop, the minimum clearance is 24″ (61cm) rather than 30″ (76cm).

• Above Counter: 30″ (76 cm) min. to Combustible Surface

• Centered Over Cooktop Width: SGS(X)30 – 30″ (76cm) min. / SGS(X)36 – 36″ (91cm) min. / SGS(X)45 – 45″ (114cm) min.

• Depth from Back Wall to upper Cabinet: 13″ (33cm) max.

• Hood Depth: 24″ (61cm) max.

• Clearance from cooktop edge to Rear Wall: 1-3/4″ (4cm)

• Clearance from cooktop edge to Left Side: 6″ (15cm) min.

• Clearance from cooktop edge to Right Side: 3″ (8cm) min.

Instructions are based on standard American cabinets 36″ high (91cm) x 24″ deep (61cm) with a 25″ (63cm) countertop. Provide approximately a 10 square inch opening (65cm²) in the toe kick area or other cabinet area for adequate air inlet to the cabinet. If a drawer is installed directly under the cooktop, its depth (front to back) should be no greater than 15″ (38cm).

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing the cooktop, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

1. Seal the Cooktop with Foam Tape: Apply the foam tape packaged with the cooktop to the underside of the cooktop along the perimeter before installing.

2. Prepare the Countertop: Cut out the countertop per the specified dimensions. For solid surface material installations, see the separate instructions on using heat reflective tape.

3. Attach Brackets to the Cooktop: Attach clamps of the hold-down brackets packaged with the cooktop to the rough-in box. Use the washer and screws provided.

4. Install the Cooktop: Insert the cooktop into the cutout. Adjust the hold-down brackets to the desired position and tighten the screws to the rough-in box. Insert the adjusting screw into the clamp and secure the cooktop to the countertop.

For solid surface material installations: Insert a wooden block between the end of the screw and the bottom of the countertop. Do not overtighten adjusting screw. Trim excess aluminum tape around the cooktop flange.

For solid surface material installations such as Surell™ and Corian®, consult with the solid surface manufacturer. Apply heat reflective tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427 around the cutout so that it folds over on the top and sides. Do not wrap the tape underneath the cooktop. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should be covered with tape.

CAUTION: Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator, except conversion to propane.

1. The gas inlet to the unit is located at the right rear of the rough-in box.

2. After installing a gas shut-off valve in an easily accessible location under the unit, install the pressure regulator (supplied) to the manifold pipe using Teflon tape on the threads of the manifold pipe. To prevent possible damage, install the gas pressure regulator after the rough-in box is in its permanent position.

3. Connect the gas supply line to the unit pressure regulator using a 1/2″ flex gas line connector between the wall shut-off valve and pressure regulator.

4. Secure the regulator to the cooktop gas inlet using approved Teflon tape. Turn to hand tighten plus 1/4 turn, not exceeding 1 turn for alignment.

Check supply line connections for leaks using a soap solution. Do not use a flame of any sort.

1. Turn on gas.

2. Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the shut-off valve and the range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range if connections may have been disturbed during installation. Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections indicate a leak.

3. If a leak appears, turn off the supply line gas shut-off valve and tighten connections.

4. Retest for leaks by turning on the supply line gas shut-off valve. When the leak check is complete (no bubbles appear), the test is complete.

5. Wipe off all detection fluid residue.

• The appliance and its individual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).

• The 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 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).

1. Connect Electrical Supply: Before connecting the 5-foot (1.5 m) supply cord to the wall receptacle, make certain that the gas shutoff valve and all burner controls are in the OFF position.

2. Install Knobs: Install control knobs by placing the indicator line at the 12 o’clock position; press down firmly. For 30″ models only, the two center control knobs have a silver ring on the shaft.

3. Check Burners: After the electrical connection is complete, place each burner cap in the correct sized notched position and check the operation of the electric igniters.

4. Check Flame Characteristics: The flame should be blue with no yellow tip. Check the flame characteristics as described in the manual. Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow the unit to operate for 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before making adjustments.

• Yellow Flames: Further adjustment is required.

• Yellow Tips on Outer Cones: Normal for LP Gas.

• Soft Blue Flames: Normal for Natural Gas.

If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment, retest.

Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate before making adjustments.

The data plate shows the model and serial number of your cooktop. It is located in the center front area of the rough-in box, underneath the cooktop.

The cooktop must be used in conjunction with a suitable ventilation system. We strongly recommend the installation of a ventilation hood above this appliance. The hood must be installed according to instructions furnished with the hood.
