Installation instructions
WARNING
Please read the following instructions, as well as the Important Safety Instructions section at the
front of this manual, completely and carefully BEFORE installing and/or operating the gas cooktop.
Improper installation, adjustment, service, or maintenance can cause personal injury or property
damage.
Step 1: Installing the cooktop
• Locate electrical outlet and gas shut-off valve beneath the cabinet.
• Insert the cooktop centered into the cutout opening. Make sure the front edge of the countertop
is parallel to the cooktop. Make final check that all required clearances are met.
* Be careful that the ignition needle/thermocouple is not damaged by inserting.
• Choose installation method 1 or method 2 shown below to secure the cooktop to the countertop
using the two provided hold-down brackets as shown.

Step 2: Connecting the cooktop to gas supply
WARNING
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old cooktop and leave it off until the new
hookup has been completed. Donʼt forget to relight the burner on other gas appliances when you turn
the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the cooktop, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible
metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new cooktop. If the hard-piping method is used, you
must carefully align the pipe; the cooktop cannot be moved after the connection is made.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check for gas leaks: To prevent death, personal injury, explosion, and/or fire hazard, DO NOT use a
flame to check for gas leaks. When using test pressures greater than ½ psig to pressure-test the gas
supply system of the residence, disconnect the cooktop and individual shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping. When using test pressures of ½ psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the cooktop from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
• FOTILE gas cooktops are manufactured and shipped to be used with natural gas. If you want to
use LPG, please convert before using.
• To prevent gas leaks, please use professional gas pipe sealing materials on all male (external)
pipe threads.
• Attach the gas pressure regulator (included with the cooktop) to the cooktop pipe nipple inlet. For
tight installations, the regulator may be installed upstream from the pipe nipple, anywhere
between the shut-off valve and the cooktop. For best performance, minimize gas pressure loss by
attaching the regulator as close as possible to the cooktop gas inlet.
• When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are in the off position and
turn on the main gas supply valve.
• Use Soap-suds at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
• Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
