Gas Supply Requirements

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This installation must conform with

local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local

codes, installations must conform with the American

National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code.

TYPES OF GAS

There are two types of gas, natural and liquid propane

(LP). Conversions are required in order for appliances

designed for one gas to be operated with the other gas.

Such conversions must be performed by Wolf factory

certified service. Make sure your gas cooktop is correctly

adjusted for the type of gas being used.

The product rating plate has information on the type of

gas that should be used. If this information does not agree

with the type of gas available, check with the local gas

supplier. The rating plate is located on the underside of

the cooktop. Refer to the illustration on page 3.
