Conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes the gas conversion responsibility.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on
the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting
the serving gas supplier. See "GAS CONVERSION" section.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. With LP gas, piping
or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not make
connections to the gas pressure regulator too tight. Making the connections
too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the
regulator to turn or move when tightening fittings.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
•If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm)
long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector
may be used for connecting cooktop to the gas supply line.
•A1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female
pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
•Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the
cooktop.

18
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an
in-line connection to the cooktop. The rigid pipe must be level with the
cooktop connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel
lines so cooktop will be level and in line.
Gas shutoff valve:
A manual gas line shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the cooktop.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
TYPE OF GAS MINIMUM PRESSURE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
Natural gas 4" WCP 14" WCP
LP gas 10" WCP 14" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to
2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4%
for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
