IMPORTANT NOTE: The gas cooktop must be
connected to a regulated gas supply.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This installation must
conform with local codes and ordinances. In
the absence of local codes, installations must
conform with American National Standard,
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 – latest
edition or CANI – B149.1 or 2.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The natural gas cooktop
is rated for elevations up to 8,000' (2438 m)
without adjustment. Install a high altitude kit
for elevations from 8,000' (2438 m) to 10,000'
(3084 m). The LP gas cooktop is rated for
10,000' (3084 m).
The cooktop is equipped for use with natural
or LP gas. It is design certified by the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) for natural or LP
gases. The rating plate, located on the under-
side of the burner box, has information on the
type of gas that should be used. If this infor-
mation does not agree with the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier.
Provide a gas supply line of 3 /
4
" rigid pipe to
the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on
long runs may result in insufficient gas supply.
Pipe joint compounds, suitable for use with LP
gas should be used. For LP gas, piping or
tubing size can be
1 / 2 " minimum. LP gas suppli-
ers usually determine the size and materials
used on the system.
EXPLOSION HAZARD —
Use a new CSA approved gas supply line
and install a gas shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
For LP gas, have a qualified technician
make sure the gas pressure does not
exceed 14" (34.9 mb) WC (water column).
Failure to do so can result in explosion,
fire or death.

If local codes permit, a new CSA design-
certified, 4–5' (1.2–1.5 m) long,
1 / 2 " or 3 / 4 " ID,
flexible metal appliance connector is recom-
mended for connecting this cooktop to the gas
supply line. Do not kink or damage the flexible
connector when moving the cooktop. The
pressure regulator has
1 / 2 " female pipe threads.
You will need to determine the fittings
required, depending on the size of your gas
supply line, flexible metal connector and shut-
off valve.
If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a
combination of pipe fittings must be used to
obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. All
strains must be removed from the supply and
gas lines so the cooktop will be level and in
line.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The supply line must
be equipped with an approved external gas
shut-off valve located near the cooktop in an
accessible location. Do not block access to the
shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration below.
The inlet pressure to the regulator should be
as follows for operation and checking the regu-
lator setting:
Natural Gas: Set pressure 5" (12.5 mb) WC,
supply pressure 7–14" (17.5–34.9 mb) max.
LP Gas: Set pressure 10" (25 mb) WC,
supply pressure 11–14" (27.4–34.9 mb) WC.
