Site Preparation — Electrical Requirements and Clearances
Electrical Requirements
This appliance requires a grounded dedicated circuit for
a 120 VAC, 60Hz, 15 amp three-prong polarized plug.
The installation of this appliance must conform with all
applicable local codes. The installed appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,
In the absence of such codes, with the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70, or Canadian Electric Code,
CSA C22-1.02.
Use of a GFCI is required in many homes. A GFCI will
only cause the cooktop to become inoperable if the
GFCI has been tripped. If the GFCI is operating correctly
and is properly maintained the product will operate
normally unless a true fault condition is encountered.
Standard manufacturer instructions for a GFCI state that
it should be tested every 30 days by pressing the TEST
button to verify the GFCI contacts open when tripped,
then to reset the GFCI by pressing the RESET button.
If this operation is not performed the GFCI can fail to
operate, which, in the event of an electrical failure, can
result in electrical shock, injury or death.
Poorly maintained GFCI circuits can also interfere with
the ground connection which can in turn cause burner
igniters to continuously spark.
Testing the GFCI regularly also prevents the GFCI from
activating without cause by regularly resetting the
contacts.
GFCI issues are not covered under warranty.
Clearances
Standard installation for the cooktop has the bottom
mounting anges ush suspend the cooktop on the
surface of the countertop material. The anges have
bumpers which must remain installed to allow for
improved leveling and countertop surface temperature
control.
Please refer to page 14 for cutout and clearance to
combustible material information.
For proper and safe operation of the product do not
decrease clearances below those listed. If clearances
must be reduced below those listed, non-combustible
materials must be used in the construction of the walls
or cabinets.
Reducing clearances below those listed can negatively
impact performance of the product.
The non-combustible material need not extend
horizontally past the initial barrier thickness. The initial
barrier should consist of materials such as ceramic tile,
cement backer board, stainless steel spaced 0.50” (12.7
mm) from the surface of combustible materials or other
non-combustible material. Non-combustible materials
are dened as the form in which the material is used
and under the conditions anticipated, the material will
not aid combustion or add appreciable heat to an
ambient re or materials that are in compliance with
ASTM E 136. Refer to the local building code for
additional information.

Tools and Materials
• Adjustable Wrench
• Gloves and safety glasses
Step 1 — Uncrate and Inspect the Cooktop
Inspect the cooktop for damage prior to removing from
the packing materials.
Step 2 — Move the Cooktop into Position
Move the cooktop near the cutout location. Remove the
cooktop from the packaging. Check to verify all parts
have been removed and are not damaged. Set parts
aside for installation.
Step 3 — Connect Gas Supply
• The installation of this appliance must conform with
all applicable local codes. In the absence of local
codes, the installation must conform to the latest
level of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.
• In Canada, the installation must be in accordance
with the current CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2.
• Maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed 14”
water column (WC) or 1/2 psi.
• All gas cooking equipment must have a pressure
regulator (provided) on the incoming service line for
safe and efcient operation.
• The correct manifold pressure for natural gas is 5.0”
w.c. and 10” w.c. for liquid propane. Check the
incoming gas pressure using a manometer.
• Inlet pressure to the appliance above the maximum
recommended pressure can impact burner ignition.
Higher gas pressures can cause minor delays in
ignition which can result in a larger ignition ame.
• Depending on how the unit was ordered either
natural gas or liquid propane can be used with this
appliance. Verify that the appliance and the
incoming gas supply are compatible by checking
the serial plate located on the bottom of the unit.
• The gas supply line must be the same size or larger
than the gas inlet on the appliance. The appliance
has a 1/2” NPT gas inlet connection. Make sure the
supply line is 1/4” larger diameter than the
appliance gas inlet.
Installation Instructions
• Sealant used on pipe joints must be LP gas resistant.
• A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas
supply line ahead of the appliance. This must be
easily accessible in case of emergency.
• Incoming line pressure upstream of the appliance
should be 1.0” w.c. greater than the operating
manifold pressure. Service pressure may uctuate
for a variety of reasons. Under no circumstances
should the factory-installed regulator be removed or
bypassed.
• The factory-installed pressure regulator will
withstand an input pressure of 1/2 PSI (14” w.c.). If
the incoming pressure exceeds the maximum rating,
a step-down regulator is required.
• The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply line during any
pressure testing in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).
• The appliance must be disconnected from the gas
supply by closing its individual shut-off during any
pressure testing less than 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa). If
pressure testing in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa) the
appliance and individual gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
• Verify that all installer-supplied pipes and ttings are
clear of direct, threading chips or other foreign
particles before connecting the appliance to the
supply line. Such particles will clog orices and/or
valves when pressure is applied.
• Incoming gas is supplied from the inlet pipe. This is
the only connection required via the installer-
supplied shut-off valve.
• If installing the appliance with exible couplings
and/or a “quick disconnect,” use a commercially-
approved AGA Design certied exible connector at
least 1/2” NPT that complies with ANSI Z21.41. In
Canada, the connector must comply with
CAN 16.10-88 and the “quick disconnect” device
must comply with CAN 16.19M-79 and installed with
a strain relief device.
• Before putting the appliance into service, test all gas
connections for leaks. When pressure testing
systems, do not exceed 1/2 PSI or damage will occur
to the regulator. Use a soapy solution. Do not use an
open ame to check for leaks. Such a procedure is
dangerous and may not detect all leaks detectable
by a soapy solution.

Surface Burners
Operation
• For best results and quicker ignition, always light the
burner at or near the LOW setting. Adjust the burner
to the desired ame setting after the burner is lit.
• Push in and turn the burner knob counterclockwise
past HIGH towards LOW to start the ignition process.
The ignitor will spark and make a clicking sound,
which will stop after the burner ignites. After
ignition, it may take a few seconds for the gas to
reach all the ports. For best results, light the burner
with a pot or pan on top of it.
• An indicator light will illuminate if a burner is in the
ON position.
• Once the burner is lit, turn the knob to your desired
setting.
• Turn the knob to OFF to extinguish the burner. The
ame may linger for several seconds until all the gas
in the tube is burned off.
• Burners have a reignite feature in case the ame is
extinguished. However, it may take several seconds
for the burner to reignite.
Notice: Never operate the burner with knob set
between the HIGH and OFF positions. The ame will not
reignite in this position and a gas leak could occur.
Avis: Ne faites jamais fonctionner le brûleur avec le
bouton réglé entre les positions HIGH et OFF. La amme
ne se rallumera pas dans cette position et une fuite de
gaz pourrait se produire.
Cooking Guide and Tips
• Avoid using old or darkened pans. Warped and
dented stainless steel and tin coated pans heat
unevenly and fail to produce uniform baking results.
• Use cookware that has a combination of both
stainless steel and an aluminum core for
performance, durability and that has oven
compatibility of up to 550°F (287.8°C).
• To avoid oil spillover and re, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended during use.
Boil-overs may occur, causing spills which may
ignite.
• If you are aming liquor or other spirits and your
appliance is installed under a vent hood, turn off the
fan. The draft created could cause the ames to
spread out of control.
• Do not use cookie sheets or aluminum foil to cover
the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide build-up and
poisoning, over heating the cooktop surfaces, or a
potential re hazard.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily
foods, may ignite resulting in re that could spread
to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fry
thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature and operate with safe limits.

Care and Cleaning
Notice: Make sure the cooktop is cool before you clean.
Avis: Assurez-vous que la table de cuisson est froide avant de la nettoyer.
Material Cleaning Need to Know
Cast Iron
• Wash in hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry
thoroughly. For heavy soiling, use a
commercially available oven cleaner. Be sure to
follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use a heavy bristle brush for stubborn oil and
grease or a light brass brush for white aluminum
residue if aluminum pots have been used
• Do not allow a commercial oven cleaner to touch
painted or stainless steel surfaces.
• Do not use a wooden or plastic toothpick or any
other material that can break to clean burner ports.
• When using aluminum cooking vessels a white
residue may become visible on the grates. This is
aluminum residue deposited onto the grates when
dragging or agitating pots on the grates.
Stainless Steel
• Clean with stainless steel cleaner and follow the
cleaner manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not use steel wool, metal pads, or abrasive
cleaners.
• Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any metal tool
to scrape these surfaces.
• Do not permit citrus or tomato juices to sit and dry
on these surfaces as citric acid will discolor the
surface. Wipe such spills immediately.
• Do not polish across the grain or in circles.
• Discoloration may occur with heavy use.
Plated Finishes
(Brass, Copper,
Chrome, Oil-
Rubbed Bronze,
Pewter)

coat to prevent aging or discoloration. This clear
coat will last the life of the appliance unless the
coating is removed.
• Clean with a microber cloth using Endust,
Pledge, or something similar.
• Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or something
similar or any metal tool to scrape these surfaces.
• Do not permit citrus or tomato juices to sit and dry
on these surfaces as citric acid will discolor the
surface. Wipe such spills immediately.
• Do not use harsh cleaners (such as Brite Boy) as
these will remove the coating and cause the metals
to discolor.
Burners
• Use warm soapy water and wipe clean with a
soft sponge or cloth.
• Use a toothpick to open any of the ports of the
burner if any spillovers have occurred and
food or liquids have closed holes.
• Do not place into a dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasives which will scratch the
surface. Burners will discolor over time with use.
