Installation Instructions
Cet appareil est lourd et bascule facilement lorsqu'il
n'est pas complètement installé. Utilisez deux
personnes ou plus pour déplacer et installer la
cuisinière. Le non-respect de ces instructions peut
entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.
This appliance is heavy and tips easily when not
completely installed. Use two or more people to move
and install the rangetop. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death or serious injury.
Step 4 — 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.
• You must have an individual manual shut-off valve
installed in the gas supply line ahead of the
appliance. This must be easily accessible in case of
emergency.
• The included gas regulator must be installed into
the gas pipe system.
• When pressure testing the piping systems the
appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• For tests equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) the
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its manual shut-off valve.
• Incoming line pressure upstream of the appliance
should be 1.0” WC 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.
• Maximum gas pressure must not exceed 14” water
column (WC) or 1/2 psi.
• You can use either natural gas or liquid propane
with this appliance. Verify whether the appliance and
the incoming gas supply are compatible. Check the
serial plate.
• The gas supply line must be the same size or larger
than the gas inlet on the appliance. The appliance
has either a 1/2” NPT or 3/4” NPT gas inlet
connection. Make sure the supply line is 1/4” NPT
larger than the appliance gas inlet.
AVERTISSEMENT
WARNING
20 (800) 449-8691
• The sealant used on the pipe joints must be resistant
to LP gas.
• All gas cooking equipment must have a pressure
regulator on the incoming service line for safe and
efcient operation. This appliance is equipped with
such a gas pressure regulator. Check the incoming
gas pressure using a manometer. The correct
manifold pressure for natural gas is 5.0” WC and for
LP is 10” WC.
• The factory provided pressure regulator will
withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI (14”
WC). 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).
• Check to see 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.
• The incoming gas supply is brought 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 it may not detect all the small leaks
that a soapy solution will.
Installation Instructions (continued)
Step 5 — Connect Electrical Supply
Observe all local and other codes regarding electrical
connections.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualied installer, service agency, or utility company.
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical
codes.
1. The appliance is equipped with a standard three-
prong polarized , NEMA 5-15P line cord to be
plugged into a 120 volt, 15 amp outlet. The outlet

15 amps with a good connection to ground.
2. Removal of the grounding prong from the plug will
void the manufacturer’s warranty and can cause
injury or death.
3. A dedicated ground is recommended for optimal
performance. A poor ground will cause problems
with burner ignition and operation.
4. The power cord is located at the left rear of the
appliance (viewed from the front).
5. Turn power off at the breaker when connecting the
power cord to the outlet.
6. Turn power on at the breaker after connecting the

Surface Burners
• When turning a burner ON: Push in and turn the
burner knob counterclockwise past HIGH to the LITE
position 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.
Surface Burners
• After the burner is lit, turn the knob to adjust the
ame to your desired setting.
• A white indicator light above each knob indicates
the burner is in the ON position.
• Turn the knob to OFF to extinguish the burner. The
ame may linger for a few seconds until all the gas
in the tube is burned off. Propane units may have an
audible popping sounds when the ame
extinguishes. This is normal and is caused by the
heavier than air property of propane.
Operation
Surface Burners (cont’d)
• Burners have a reignite feature in case the ame is
extinguished, however, it may take several seconds
for the burner to reignite.
• If a spillover occurs and the ame is extinguished
turn the burner OFF, allow the burner to cool and
clean the spill and the burner before reusing the
burner
Important: 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.
Burner Adjustment
1. After ignition, turn the knob to your desired
setting.
2. Each burner has ve (5) marked positions:
HIGH Maximum heat
25,000 BTU front burner
18,000 BTU rear burners
LOW Flames will be on all ports at their lowest
position.
SIM Inner ring of ame only at its highest
adjustment.
WARM Inner ring of ame only at its lowest
adjustment.
3. Turn the knob to OFF to extinguish the burner.
The ame may linger for several seconds until all
the gas in the burner is burned off.
4. If the burner does not ignite, see the Before
Calling for Service section for possible causes and
solutions.
CAUTION: Never operate the burner with the knob
set between the HIGH and OFF position.
The ame will NOT re-ignite in this
position and a gas leak can occur.
When turning the burner on ALWAYS turn the knob to
the LITE position. If the burner is lit in the HIGH position
a large ame can result due to the high BTU rate of the
burners and varying conditions in the kitchen. Lighting
the burner at the LITE position will result in quicker
WARNING
Lighting the burner in the HIGH position can result in a
slight delay of ignition and can produce a large ame.
This is normal but not recommended.

Cooking Guide and Tips
Burner Settings
1. Burners can be set to any setting between WARM
and HIGH.
2. Flames should be adjusted to contact the bottom
of the pot and should not extend beyond the edge
of any pot or pan.
3. The center ring of ame can be adjusted from
WARM to SIM. The difference in the ame is
almost not visible despite nearly 1000 BTU
difference from lowest to highest adjustment of
the ring.
IMPORTANT: When set to HIGH, ames should appear
as a dened cone with a dark blue center and light blue
outside. Some yellow/orange ame may be seen
depending on the type of gas and the supply line.
Simmer Flame
The center ring WARM ame gives you the ability to
hold very low settings that can be used to gently melt
chocolate and hold delicate sauces and foods at low
temperatures.
1. All burners on your range top can turn down to
WARM.
2. The LOW setting turns all the ports on the burner
to their lowest setting. This setting has been
adjusted to hold nearly all foods to a temperature
just below boiling. From this setting the ame can
be adjusted up all the way to HIGH.
IMPORTANT: If a spillover occurs and the center ring
ame is extinguished but does not relight it will cause
the burner to continuously click and the reignition
feature will not function. It is important that the burner
be turned off, allowed to cool, then cleaned, taking care
to remove any residual food and moisture from the
center ring slot.
Surface Burners
• 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 appliance 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 rangetop. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide build-up and
poisoning, over heating the rangetop surfaces, or a
potential re hazard.
• Never leave surface burners unattended. 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 within safe limits.
• To avoid oil spillover and re, use a minimum

Before Your First Use (continued)
Griddle Seasoning Procedure (select models)
IMPORTANT: You must season your griddle before
your rst use. The seasoning process prevents food from
sticking and the surface from rusting. This procedure will
take about an hour and a half and you will need to stay
and monitor the griddle during this time as the griddle
will get very hot!
1. Wipe off any factory oils and residue with a soft
cloth.
2. Use a dry cotton towel to apply a light coat of high
smoke point oil to the griddle’s cooking surface. The
smoke point of the oil must be over 450°F (232°C).
3. Use a different dry cotton towel to wipe away excess
oil.
4. Push in and turn the griddle burner control knob left
to 300°F (149°C) setting and wait 30 minutes.
CAUTION: The griddle must be turned on to
perform the next steps. Use caution to prevent injury.
5. After 30 minutes, use a dry cotton towel to remove
the excess oil from the griddle’s surface.
6. Use another clean, dry cotton towel to apply another
coat of oil to the griddle’s surface.
7. Turn the griddle knob to 325°F (163°C), then wait 15
minutes.
8. Turn the griddle knob to 350°F (177°C), then wait 15
minutes.
9. Turn the griddle knob to 375°F (191°C), then wait 15
minutes.
10. Turn the griddle burner knob back to OFF and
taking extreme care, use a clean, dry cotton towel to
remove any excess oil while the griddle is hot.
Your griddle is now ready for use. After seasoning, with
time and use, your griddle will darken and develop a
normal, rich blue/black patina color.
IMPORTANT: If food begins to stick to the griddle with
use, repeat the seasoning process.
Griddle (select models)
• Push in and turn the griddle burner knob left to the
temperature you want.
• For optimal performance, allow the griddle to
preheat for approximately 20-40 minutes before
cooking.
• Always leave the grease tray in place while cooking
to make cleanup easy.
IMPORTANT: To clean your griddle do not scrub the
griddle plate with harsh chemicals, or heavy abrasives.
This will remove the seasoned nish, which can allow the
griddle plate to rust.
To clean the griddle:
• CAUTION: Allow the griddle to cool prior cleaning
to prevent injury.
• Always leave the grease tray installed when washing
your griddle.
• Scrape off as much food residue as possible off the
griddle plate using a spatula, scraper, wooden
spoon, or a natural bristle brush.
• Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge to
gently wash the griddle plate.
• Use clean water and a soft cloth or sponge to rinse
the griddle plate.
• Dry thoroughly using a lint free cloth or paper towel.
• Apply a small amount of vegetable or other neutral
cooking oil to the surface of the griddle and wipe
across the entire surface to preserve seasoning.
Important: Turn off the griddle when you are not using
it. Do not bang the griddle with metal utensils as this will
damage it.
Never obstruct, place anything on top of, or touch the
openings in the backguard. This can result in damage to
property and objects; re; serious injury; or death if
these precautions are not followed.
