Gas Requirement
A QUALIFIED SERVICE MAN OR GAS APPLIANCE
INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY
CONNECTION.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by
the installer according to the instructions given.
WARNING
If the line pressure supplying the appliance
pressure regulator exceeds 14 inches W.C. (any
gas), an external regulator must be installed in the
gas line ahead of the appliance regulator to
reduce the pressure to no more than 14 inches
W.C. Failure to do this can result in malfunction
and damage to the appliance.
Important Notes for Gas Connection
The appliance and its individual gas shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
All supply piping, except as noted, should use
common National Pipe Thread (N.P.T.). For all pipe
connections use an approved pipe joint compound
resistant to the action of LP gas.
This appliance is designed for use with NG gas or LP
gas.
The gas pressure regulator is supplied with this
appliance. It must be installed in the gas way ahead of
the manifold entrance. It is pre-set for use with natural
gas. To use it with different gas it must be converted,
as describe on Gas conversion paragraph (see figure
17 and 18).
If at any time the appliance is to be used with a
different type of gas, all the conversion adjustments
must be made by a qualified technician.
Before attempting to operate the cooktop on that gas.
The gas should be supplied to the appliances
pressure regulator, at line pressure between 6 and 14
inches of water column for NG, and between 11 and
14 inches of water column for LP.
Important:
• NEVER REUSE OLD CONNECTORS WHEN
INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.
To reduce the likelihood of gas leaks, apply teflon
tape or a thread compound approved for use with
LP or Natural gases to all threaded connections.
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all
joints and fittings in the gas connection between
the supply line shut-off valve and the cooktop
inlet.
Check for leaks!
Bubbles appearing around fittings and
connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears,
turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten
connections, turn on the supply line gas shutoff
valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas
leaks with an open flame.
• NEVER TIGHTEN TO MORE THAN 35 ft lbs OF
TORQUE.
