WARNING
!
This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical
or chemicals which can cause death or serious
illness and which are known to the state of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from
substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion
make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and
maintained according to the instructions in this
booklet.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or
death, make sure your cooktop has been properly
grounded and always disconnect from main power
supply before any servicing.
WARNING
!
To avoid death, personal injury or property damage,
information in this manual must be followed exactly.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas
supplier.
CAUTION
!
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or
ventilation air.
Important Safety Information
All Appliances
1. Proper Installation. Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating
the Room.
3. Do Not Leave Children Alone. Children should not
be alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Appropriate Apparel. Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
appliance.
5. User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
6. Storage in or on Appliance. Flammable materials
should not be stored on surface units.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. Smother fire
or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Surface Cooking Units
1. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3. Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line
drip bowls. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to sudden change in temperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil. Position utensil handle so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
4
Delayed Ignition
Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does
not ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF
position and follow directions in “Placing Grates and
Burner Caps” and “Before Calling for Service” section.
Try burner again. If burner still does not ignite in 4
seconds, contact an authorized servicer.
VENTILATION HOODS
1. Clean Vents Frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on vent or filter.
2. When flaming foods, turn fan on.
IN CASE OF FIRE
Fires can occur as a result of overcooking or excessive
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed
as follows:
Surface Burner Fire
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not
water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface
controls to
OFF
.
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They
may stick and melt.
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause
damage to cooking surface and pan.
• Do not use cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Installation
Unpacking Cooktop
• Remove all packing and printed material packed with
cooktop.
• Slide cooktop out of box.
• To avoid damage, do not slide cooktop across
countertop.
• Remove burner grates, burner caps, grill, vent cover,
and pressure regulator from packing material.
Countertop Cutout and Clearances
Prepare countertop opening according to dimensions
shown in diagrams.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious burns or other personal injury
caused by reaching over heated surface element,
avoid locating storage cabinets above surface
elements.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious burns or other personal injury, do
not store items of interest to children above or
behind cooktop. Children climbing on cooktop to
reach items could be seriously injured.

Duct Connections
• Blower exhaust faces towards rear wall from factory.
Blower can be changed to exhaust to left. Connect
blower exhaust to ducting with 3¼ x 10-inch piece.
• Do not install 2 elbow fittings next to each other. Two
elbow fittings joined together create unusual air
patterns and can result in poor ventilation.
• Do not vent into an attic or crawl space. Always vent
outside.
• Seal all joints in venting system with duct tape to
avoid smoke or odor in home.
• Do not use laundry wall caps. Wall cap must have
minimum of 28 square inches free air space. Use
Amana wall cap model CC30.
Vertical and Left Duct Connection
To vent out left wall or vertically, remove vent filler
piece and move to rear of blower.
1. Remove 4 screws that attach vent filler.
• See illustration.
2. Place vent filler on left side of blower housing.
3. Attach vent filler with 4 screws.

Duct Length
Ducting design is in terms of maximum length of
straight metal duct. To ensure proper air movement,
limit fittings, other than straight, to 50% of total duct
length. Maximum allowable calculated duct length is
60 equivalent feet.
• Use “Duct Length Piece Equivalents” section to
calculate duct length.
• Flexible duct is not recommended because it can
create a fire hazard. However, if it is used, one foot of
flexible duct is equal to two feet of smooth metal
duct.

Gas Supply Pressure
CAUTION
!
To avoid property damage, maximum gas supply
pressure must not exceed 14" WCP.
• Appliance and individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures higher than ½ psig (3.5kPa)(14" WCP).
• Appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping
system by closing manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa)
(14" WCP).
• Gas supply pressure for checking regulator setting
must be at least 1" WCP above manifold pressure
shown on rating label.
• Must use pressure regulator supplied with cooktop.
Gas Connection
WARNING
!
To avoid property damage or personal injury, only
use a new flexible connector that is AGA/CGA
design certified.
• Do not use an old connector.
• Do not reuse a connector after moving
appliance.
WARNING
!
To avoid property damage or personal injury, do not
use LP/propane gas to fuel this cooktop. Cooktop is
not convertible to LP/propane gas.
Connect gas supply to regulator using hard pipe or a
flexible connector. Pressure regulator supplied with this
appliance has a ½-inch NPT female connection.
• A manual shutoff, not supplied with cooktop, must be
installed in an accessible location outside of cooktop.
• Use joint compound that is resistant to action of
propane gas on all male pipe threads.

For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,
gaps between bottom of pan and edge of ruler
occur.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not affect
cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.
