IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to  
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive  
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.  
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon  
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or  
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize  
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
SURFACE BURNERS  
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat  
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large  
enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous  
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with  
handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.  
SafeyIructions  
Always use the LITE position when igniting  
the top burners and make sure the burners  
have ignited.  
Never leave the surface burners  
unattended at high flame settings.  
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers that may catch on fire.  
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp  
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in  
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders  
come near open flames when lifting  
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky  
cloth in place of a pot holder. Such cloths  
can catch fire on a hot burner.  
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if  
the wok has a round metal ring that is  
placed over the burner grate to support the  
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may  
damage the burner grate and burner head.  
Also, it may cause the burner to work  
improperly. This may cause a carbon  
monoxide level above that allowed by  
current standards, resulting in a health  
hazard.  
Foods for frying should be as dry as  
possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture  
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble  
up and over the sides of the pan.  
OpeagIructions  
Use the least possible amount of fat for  
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling  
the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers  
when food is added.  
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
When using glass cookware, make sure it  
is designed for cooktop cooking.  
To minimize the possibility of burns,  
ignition of flammable materials and  
spillage, turn cookware handles toward the  
side or center of the cooktop without  
extending over adjacent burners.  
rdCleaing  
Never try to move a pan of hot fat,  
especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat  
is cool.  
When flaming foods are under the hood,  
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may  
spread the flames.  
Always turn the surface burner controls off  
before removing cookware.  
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high  
flame setting.  
ips  
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The  
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable  
items and will increase pressure in closed  
containers, which may cause them to burst.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating or as  
fats melt slowly.

SafeyIructions  
SURFACE BURNERS  
Adjust the burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame  
is hazardous.  
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—  
they may melt if left too close to the vent.  
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings  
on or near your cooktop  
OpeagIructions  
Keep all plastics away from the surface  
burners.  
Don’t use aluminum foil to line burner  
bowls. Misuse could result in a fire hazard  
or damage to the cooktop.  
Do not cover or block the area around the  
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept  
clear for proper ventilation and burner  
performance.  
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the  
cooktop and call a qualified service  
technician. Never use an open flame to  
locate a leak.  
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be  
certain that the controls for all burners are  
at the off position and all grates are cool  
before attempting to remove them.  
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
Never clean the cooktop surface when it is  
hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes  
and wet cloths could cause steam burns if  
used on a hot surface.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry  
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against  
foodborne illness.

Using your cooktop.  
How to Light a Burner  
Your cooktop burners are lit by electric  
ignition, eliminating the need for  
standing pilot lights with constantly  
burning flames.  
In case of a power failure, you can light the  
burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the  
burner, then push in and turn the control knob  
to the HIGH position. Use extreme caution  
when lighting burners this way. Burners in use  
when an electrical power failure occurs will  
continue to operate normally.  
The igniters make clicking sounds and  
spark even when only a single burner is  
being turned on. Do not touch any of  
the burners when the igniters are  
clicking.  
OpeagIructions  
Do not operate a burner for an extended period  
of time without cookware on the grate. The  
finish on the grate may chip without cookware  
to absorb the heat.  
Be sure you turn the control knob  
to OFF when you finish cooking.  
Push the control knob in and turn it  
counterclockwise to the desired position  
from HIGH to LO. After the burner ignites,  
Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the  
one you want to use.

the flame size. To turn a burner off, turn  
the knob clockwise as far as it will go, to  
the OFF position.  
rdCleaing  
Simmer and Power Burners  
The right rear burner is best for smaller  
pans and cooking operations requiring  
carefully controlled simmering  
conditions.  
The front right burner is the high power  
burner for larger pans and fast boiling  
operations.  
T
rubleshotingT  
How to Select Flame Size  
For safe handling of cookware, never let the  
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.  
Any flame larger than the bottom of the  
cookware is wasted and only serves to heat  
the handle.  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you  
reduce heat. The flame size on a gas  
burner should match the cookware  
you are using.

Using your cooktop  
Wok This Way  
We recommend that you use a flat-bottomed  
wok, available at your local retail stores, or use  
the Wok Holder accessory with traditional round  
bottomed woks. The Wok Holder accessory,  
model JXWK, can be ordered from your  
appliance dealer.  
Do not use a wok on any other support  
ring. Placing the ring over the burner  
grate may cause the burner to work  
improperly, resulting in carbon  
monoxide levels above allowable current  
standards. This could be dangerous to  
your health. Do not try to use such woks  
without the ring unless you are using the  
Wok Holder. You could be seriously  
burned if the wok tipped over.  
Use a flat-bottomed wok.  
SafeyIructions  
The Wok Holder fits on top of the  
cooktop grate to provide support and  
proper air circulation for traditional  
round bottom woks only. Do not use flat  
bottomed woks with the Wok Holder.  
Cookware  
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is  
recommended because it heats quickly  
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in  
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with  
tight fitting lids when cooking with  
minimum amounts of water.  
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used  
for either surface or oven cooking.  
It conducts heat very slowly and cools  
very slowly. Check cookware  
manufacturer’s directions to be sure it  
can be used on a gas cooktop.  
OpeagIructions  
Enamelware: Under some conditions,  
the enamel of some cookware may  
melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s  
recommendations for cooking methods.  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has  
poor heating properties and is usually  
combined with copper, aluminum  
or other metals for improved heat  
distribution. Combination metal skillets  
usually work satisfactorily if they are used  
with medium heat as the manufacturer  
recommends.  
Glass: There are two types of glass  
cookware: those for oven use only  
and those for cooktop cooking  
(saucepans, coffee and tea pots).  
Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most  
skillets will give satisfactory results.

Gas location  
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure  
to the regulator must be no more than 10water  
column pressure for natural gas and 14water  
column pressure for LP gas.  
The built-in gas downdraft cooktop features pilotless  
electric ignition for energy savings and reliability. It  
operates on a 120 volt, 60 Hz power supply. A  
separate circuit, protected by a 15 amp time delay  
fuse or circuit breaker, is required.  
When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure  
must be at least 1greater than the regulator output  
setting.  
If the regulator is set for 4of water column pressure,  
the inlet pressure must be at least 5.  
If the regulator is set for 10of water column  
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11.  
A properly grounded 3-prong receptacle should be  
located within reach of cooktop’s four foot power  
cord.  
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the  
gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2or  
3/4ID flexible metal appliance connector, three to  
five feet long.  
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully.)  
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE  
PROPERLY GROUNDED.  
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a  
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a  
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to  
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from  
this appliance. The customer should have the wall  
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified  
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly  
grounded and has correct polarity.  
NOTE: Purchase a new flexible line. DO NOT USE AN  
OLD PREVIOUSLY USED LINE.  
Make gas connection through rear wall, or on  
cabinet floor at rear, as illustrated.  
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is  
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and  
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a  
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.  
Do Not, Under Any Circumstances, Cut Or Remove The  
Third (ground) Prong From The Power Cord.  
Do not use an extension cord.  
20  
Step 1  
Step 2  
Install Downdraft Vent  
Place the downdraft vent into the countertop cutout,  
against the back side.  
Install the Ductwork  
Use minimum 26 gauge galvanized or 24 gauge  
aluminum duct in 6round or 314x 10size, or a  
combination of both. PVC duct should be used if  
installing under a poured concrete slab. DO NOT use  
flexible plastic ducting.  
Optional Method –  
Secure to Cabinet  
Side With Top  
Preferred Method –  
Secure the Upper  
Always use an appropriate roof or wall cap with  
damper. Laundry type wall caps should never be  
used.  
Screw on Case  
Brackets With Screws  
Located on the side of  
Case and Attach to  
Back Wall of Cabinet  
Or Use 2nd Screw  
Use the straightest duct run possible.  
For satisfactory performance the duct run should  
not exceed 150 ft. or its equivalent length if bends or  
other various fittings are used. Refer to table of  
equivalent lengths for various duct configurations.  
Secure the Lower Brackets  
to Blower Housing  
Duct tape over seam and

Secure the downdraft to the countertop supplied  
brackets. See illustration.  
Screw  
–Fasten brackets to top screws on the front side of  
the vent, secure to cabinet side wall just below the  
countertop. Or,  
Install ductwork so that the piece of duct nearest  
the downdraft unit slots INTO the next piece of the  
duct. Secure the joints with self-tapping screws and  
apply duct tape around the joints to ensure an  
airtight seal.  
–Fasten one bracket to vent side and secure to  
cabinet back wall.  
–Install two brackets on the bottom of the vent.  
Attach brackets to slide screws on the vent and to  
the floor using wood screws (not supplied).

Step 4  
Install the Pressure Regulator  
Install the Cooktop  
NOTE: If the cooktop is installed into a 36base  
cabinet, the pressure regulator MUST BE installed to  
the bottom of the cooktop before the cooktop is  
placed into the cabinet.  
Regulator  
Remove packaging from the cooktop.  
Solid piping or flexible  
connector  
Shut-off  
valve  
Pipe stub  
Install the supplied pressure regulator and nipple  
in the gas line as close to the cooktop inlet as  
possible. Allowances for ventilation ducting may be  
necessary.  
To insure a good fit, position the cooktop over the  
cutout opening and carefully lower into place. Check  
edges all the way around to be sure all cutout edges  
are concealed and there are no gaps.  
Make sure the regulator is installed in the right  
direction.  
Carefully lift and remove the cooktop.  
Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an  
easily accessible location.  
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect to  
pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal  
appliance connector may be used between the pipe  
stub and the shut-off valve and the pressure  
regulator, if local codes permit.  
Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are required at  
each end of the flexible connector.  
Turn on the gas. Check for leaks using a liquid leak  
detector at all joints in the system. (The pressure test  
nipple is adjacent to the gas inlet pipe on the rear  
right hand side of the cooktop bottom.)  
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR  
GAS LEAKS.  
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the cooktop and the  
individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping  
system during any pressure testing of that system at  
test pressures greater than 1/2 psig. Isolate the  
cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing  
the individual manual shut-off valve to the cooktop  
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping  
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
