3. Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down along
the left and right sides of the cooktop trim.
NOTE: The foam strip helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters and avoids damage to the countertop surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, turn cooktop right side up.
Install Optional Backguard
48" (121.9 cm) models and all models with a grill may require a
backguard. See “Cabinet Dimensions” in the “Location
Requirements” section for installation requirements. See the
“Tools and Parts” section for information on ordering.
Remove island trim and attach backguard using 6 screws, insert
3 from the front and 3 from the back (9" [22.9 cm] backguard
shown).
Make Gas Connection
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1. Using 2 or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or
back.
2. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a ¹⁄₂" male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown following is a typical
connection. Your connection may be different, according to
the supply line type, size and location.
3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the cooktop burner base and in a
position where you can reach the regulator cap.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe
when tightening fittings.
