½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Cooktop for Installation
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the center underside of
the burner box.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on the model ordered. See “Tools and
Parts” section for a complete list of parts supplied with the
cooktop.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Locate existing
wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring during installation.
The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply line
connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after the
cooktop is installed in the cutout. See “Make Gas Connection”
section.
1. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface.
2. Remove foam strip from hardware package. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around
bottom of cooktop, ¹⁄₁₆" (1.6 mm) from the edge of the
stainless steel frame sides and back.
NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the
cooktop frame free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat
on uneven counters.
Install Cooktop
1. Remove the 2 screws located in each side of the cooktop
burner box.
2. Attach the 2 hold-down brackets to the burner box.
3. Install the cooktop into the countertop cutout by tilting one
end of the cooktop into the cutout, then lowering the other
end into the cutout.
4. Assemble hold-down screws to hold-down bracket. See the
following illustration.
5. Center the cooktop in the opening and, using a wood block
between the screw and the countertop, moderately tighten
the screws to secure cooktop.
IMPORTANT: Do not tighten screws directly against the
countertop.
