The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size--a void pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware haring flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toavoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large
enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans
with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
Always use fl_e LITE posit.ion when igniung
the top burners and make sure file burners
have ignited.
Nexer leaxe file surface burners unatmnded
at high flame setdng:s. Boiloxers cause
smoking and g_easy spilloxers dlat may
catch on file.
Use only dU pot holders--moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may Iesult in
burJ_s flom steam. Do not let pot holders
come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of a pot holden Such
cloths can catch file on a hot bumen
When using glass cookware, make sure
it is designed for cooktop cooking.
To minimize the possibility of bur]is,
igniuon of flammable matelials and
spillage, t/lI'll cookwaIe handles toward

hazard.
Foods for ruing should be as dry as
possible. Frost on flozen foods or moistule
on flesh foods can cause hot l_atm bubble
up and o_er die sides of the pan.
Use file least possible amount of fat for

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The cooktop has been design certified by CSA
International. As with any appliance using gas and
generating heat, there are certain safety precautions
you should follow. You'll find these precautions in the
Important Safety Information section in the front of
this Owner's Manual. Read them carefully.
Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a
qualified installer or service technician.
*The cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI!NFPA
No. 70 - Latest Edition.
Installation of this cooktop must conform with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - Latest Edition.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or
additional information, consult a qualified installer,
service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or the gas
supplier.
Disconnect electrical supply before servicing.
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old
flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when
installing a gas appliance.
Make sure the wall coverings around the cooktop can
withstand heat generated by the cooktop up to 200°E
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop.
If cabinets are placed above the cooktop, allow a
minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
If cabinets are placed above the cooktop, use
cabinets no more than 13" deep.
If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4"
insulating millboard or gypsum board at least 3/16"
thick covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020"
thick copper.
Clearance between the cooking surface and protected
cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24."The
vertical distance from the plane of the cooking
surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets
extending closer than 1" to the plane of the cooktop
sides must not be less than 18."

[] PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Positioning the cooktop
The cooktop is designed to look best when centered
in a cabinet at least 30" wide.
The exhaust vent beneath the cooktop must be
located between wall studs or floor joists so that the
ductwork may be installed properly.

The downdraft system with blower, motor and
ductwork will occupy the cabinet below the cooktop.
Drawers cannot be installed below this cooktop.
Avoid placing cabinets above the cooktop unit, if
possible, in order to reduce the hazards caused by
reaching over heated surface units.
If the cabinetry is used above the cooktop, allow a
minimum 30" clearance between the cooking surface
and the bottom of the unprotected cabinet.
If the clearance between the cooktop and the
cabinetry is less than 30", the cabinet bottom must
be protected with a flame retardant millboard at least
1/4" thick, or gypsum board at least 3/16" thick,
covered with 28 gauge sheet steel or 0.020" thick
copper. Clearance between the cooktop and the
protected cabinetry MUST NEVER BELESS
THAN 24".
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven
or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform
to the installation instructions packed with that
appliance.
Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should have
an 18" minimum clearance between the countertop
and the bottom of the cabinet. If the clearance is less
than 18", the adjacent cabinets should be at least 5"
from the side edge of the cooktop.
[] PREPARING THE BASE CABINET
This cooktop is designed to fit easily into a
variety of cabinets. However, the combined
installation of a downdraft vent and a cooktop
require careful consideration.
Some cabinets may require modifications.
This installation requires a 24" min. deep
cabinet base. The cabinet must be at least
30" wide.
Preparing a cabinet that is against a wall
In some cabinets, the sides may need to be
scooped or cut down 5s/4" as shown, and the
corner braces removed in order to
accommodate the unit.
In 75 cm and 90 cm frameless European
cabinets, the back panel may need to be cut
down 5s/4" to accommodate the unit.
Preparing a peninsula or island-type cabinet
In a peninsula or island type cabinet, the
sides may need to be scooped or cut down,
and the corner braces removed in order to
accommodate the unit.

[] PREPARING THE COUNTERTOP
The countertop must have a deep flat surface
to accommodate the cooktop and the vent.
Countertops with a rolled front edge and
backsplash may not provide the flat surface
area required.
Clearance between inside front of cabinet and
rear of countertop cutout must be 20%" in
order to accommodate cooktop depth.

Uin.
A 1/2" wide flat area is required around the

Carefully cut countertop opening according
to the dimensions shown in the illustration.
Be sure that opening is cut squarely, with
sides parallel to each other and rear exactly
perpendicular to sides.

Cut hole in cabinet wall or floor as appropriate for
your installation. Make sure exhaust duct is located
between wall studs or floor joists.

[] BLOWERTO DUCTWORK ALIGNMENT
In general, the use of flexible ducting is discouraged
because it can cause severely restricted airflow.
However, if the blower outlet and the floor or wall
duct location do NOT align well, then flexible METAL
ducting can be used to adapt to an offset. Good
alignment without use of flexible ducting is best.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the maximum recommended
offset of 6".
Do not allow the flexible ducting to kink or collapse.
Do stretch the flexible ducting as much as possible
to eliminate as much of the corrugation as possible.

IMPORTANT:
For maximum efficiency, use the shortest and

as possible. For satisfactory performance, the duct
run should not exceed 100 feet equivalent length.
