Installation instructions
Connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
This appliance is factory-set to operate with Natural Gas, but is suitable for use with LP/Propane
gas after the appropriate conversion. For information on the gas types that may be used, check
the model/serial rating plate on the underside of the basepan. If that information conflicts
with the type of gas available in your area, check this with your local gas supplier. See section
‘Converting to a different gas type’ for conversion instructions.
When connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, ensure that:
all gas connections are made according to national and local codes.
the gas supply (service) line is the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance.
the sealing material on all pipe joints is able to resist the action of LP/Propane gas.
you use a new CSA or UL-approved gas supply line.
you securely tighten all gas connections.
if connecting the cooktop to LP/Propane gas, the gas pressure does not exceed 14” W.C.
the gas supply line is equipped with an approved shut-off valve. This valve should be located in
the same room as the cooktop and be within easy reach, so that gas to the appliance can be shut
off quickly in an emergency. Make sure access to this shut-off valve is not blocked.
you use the supplied gas pressure regulator only. All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking
equipment must have a gas pressure regulator on the incoming gas supply line for safe and
efficient operation, since gas pressure may fluctuate with local demand. The gas pressure
regulator supplied with this cooktop must be installed before any gas connections are made.
