Propane Safety
The propane gas tank must be equipped with its own high
pressure regulator. In addition, the regulator supplied with
this unit must also be used.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is
to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond
the bottom of the cabinet.
Verify that cabinets above the cooktop are a maximum of
13" (330 mm) deep.
