Cut out the opening as shown in the diagram.
Measure 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.

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.
Areas suitable for gas and electrical supply.
The cooktop is
equipped with a 4 ft (1.2 m) 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.

SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas
only at 5" (12.7 cm) of water column pressure. It is
for use with natural gas only and is not convertible
to LP gas.
A pressure regulator is to be connected in series
with the manifold of the cooktop and must
remain in series with the supply line.
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. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1" (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.
PRESSURE TESTING
5
The maximum gas supply pressure for the
regulator supplied on this appliance is 14"
(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. 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
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
