Ensure the cook surface sits flush or above the adjacent countertop and any openings behind or under the rangetop are sealed. Flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. Ensure the cooktop is adequately supported from the bottom.

Guidance dimension only. Refer to local codes for installation requirements. Non-combustible surfaces: as defined in ‘National Fuel Gas Code’ (ANSI Z223.1, Current Edition). Clearances from non-combustible materials are not part of the ANSI Z21.1 scope and are not certified by UL. Clearances of less than 6″ (152mm) must be approved by the local codes and/or by the local authority having jurisdiction.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting, however, some local building codes or inspectors may require double-wall ducting and/or a damper. Consult local building codes and/or agencies, before installing to ensure local requirements are met. Semi-rigid ducting is recommended for maximum effectiveness.
Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of household air.
Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.

WALL INSTALLATION

ISLAND INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical supply must be a correctly polarized, grounded 120 V AC, 60 Hz, single phase circuit suitable for the maximum current draw of the model, as detailed in the table below. Please verify your model’s current draw by checking the rating label on the rangetop.

Required grounding method
This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120 Volt circuit. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

The third prong should not, under ANY circumstances, be cut or removed

This cooktop must be grounded.
Always disconnect electric supply cord from the wall outlet or service disconnect before servicing this appliance.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding, in absence of which, observe National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range top is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP, depending on the specific model ordered. If the range top is not set for the gas supplied at the site, return to the dealer. Pressure testing at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa.): the rangetop and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system Pressure testing at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa.): The range top must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.

LP GAS CONNECTION

Connection:
1/2″ NPT Minimum 5/8″ dia. flex line. Supply Pressure: 11″ to 14″ W.C. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure of 14″ W.C. to the cooktop regulator. A manual shut-off valve (not supplied) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. In Massachusetts, such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters. The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the appliance. Ensure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. When within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.

To prepare the unit for connection to the gas supply
Thread the supplied 1/2″ pipe nipple into the elbow on the end of the manifold. The elbow is located inside the chassis of the unit, on the end of the manifold, facing down. It is accessible through the square cutout in the left rear corner of the chassis bottom. Connect the outlet of the regulator to the exposed end of the nipple, and connect the flex line from the gas supply to the inlet side of the regulator.

NATURAL GAS CONNECTION

Connection:
1/2″ NPT Minimum 5/8″ dia. flex line. Supply pressure: 6″ to 9″ W.C Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve in a location readily accessible by the customer so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency situation. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such placement. Pipe sealant must be used on all pipe threads. The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance. Ensure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See the instructions following. When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0″ W.C. for natural gas or 12.0″ for LP. The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a certifying agency (CSA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks. The arrow on the regulator indicating the direction of gas flow should be pointing towards the unit.

COOKTOP BURNERS

To check that the ignition system operates correctly, light each burner by itself, then all burners in combination.
Check for a well-defined blue flame without any yellow tipping.
If any abnormality is evident, check that the components of the burner assembly are located properly.
No air shutter adjustment is possible on the range top. Correct operation is achieved with factory-installed settings for the correct gas type.
When installing the burner port ring, align the two locating pins in the bottom side of the port ring with the locating notch and center holes on the top side of the simmer ring, and make sure these are properly engaged.
Incorrect installation may produce a potentially dangerous flame and result in poor burner performance.
If proper operation cannot be obtained, contact Customer Care or your nearest Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Center.
The range top must not be used until proper operation has been achieved.

LEAK TESTING

Ensure all dials are set to OFF before connecting range top to gas supply.
After the final gas connection is made, turn the gas supply on and test all connections in the gas supply piping for gas leaks with a soapy water solution.
In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use a match or open flame. If a leak is present, tighten the joint or unscrew, apply more joint compound, tighten again and retest the connection for the leak.

GRILL AND GRIDDLE BURNERS (SOME MODELS ONLY)

Each valve and air shutter is individually tested and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not required, however, vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary. Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if necessary. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If the condition persists, adjust the air shutter as below:

If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air open the shutter to increase air inlet.
If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, close the shutter to reduce air.
