3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at
5" of manifold pressure only.
A pressure regulator is connected in series with the
manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with
the supply line.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure
to the regulator must be no more than 14" of water
column (W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must
be at least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator
manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 5" of
manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least
6".
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4"
pipe.
4. LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your
cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS
CONVERSION".

The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located
in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do
not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
The conversion must be performed by a qualied
service technician in accordance with the kit
instructions and all local codes and requirements.
Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage. The qualied agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
Important: Remove all packing material and literature
from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical
supply to cooktop.
5. Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the
regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position
where you can reach the access cap.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible re or
explosion.
Figure 8
Shutoff Valve -
Open position
to appliance to gas supply line
Assemble the exible connector from the gas supply
pipe to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. manual shutoff valve
2. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
3. 1/2" (1.3 cm) are union adapter
4. exible connector
5. 1/2" (1.3 cm) are union adapter
6. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
7. pressure regulator
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural
and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If
exible connectors are used, be certain connectors are
not kinked.
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to
the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a
manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on
the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap
and water) at all joints and connections to check for
leaks.
Do not use a ame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a ame
may result in a re or explosion.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment of control knob valves after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be
sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A
misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on
the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"water
column).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" water column).
All connections must be wrench-tightened
