Installation Instructions
ATTACHING A BLOWER TRANSITION
DUCT
Use a blower transition duct for all downward duct
installations to connect to 6" round standard ductwork.
This 3 1 ⁄
4
” x 10" rectangle to 6" round transition duct is
available at your local building supply store.
Install the transition duct to the blower outlet. Secure
all joints with duct tape to assure an airtight seal.

CONNECTING THE DUCTWORK
Connect the ductwork prepared in Steps 5 and 6
to the blower transition duct.

INSTALLING THE COOKTOP
INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR
• For all connections, use a pipe sealant approved by local
codes and resistant to the activity of LP gas.
• Install the pressure regulator in the gas line as close to the
cooktop inlet as possible to allow clearance for ventilation
ducting.
• Make sure the arrow on the body of the regulator is pointing
straight up and toward the cooktop. Any other position
will affect the output pressure of the regulator. This arrow
indicates correct flow of gas.
• Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location.

INSTALL THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR (cont.)
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect to pressure
regulator, an approved flexible metal appliance connector
may be used between 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.
TEST FOR LEAKS
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK
FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop until all connections
have been leak tested.
Perform leak test per the following instructions:
1. Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap solution
of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
2. When all connections have been made, make sure all
cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the gas supply
valve to ON.
3. Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution around
all connections from the shut-off valve to the cooktop.
4. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of
the leak.
5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten the
fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.
If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and contact
your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate
the cooktop if a leak is present.
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.
