GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Models with Optional Electric Built-In Oven Combination) 3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4" (10.2 cm) 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" (35.6 cm) of water column (W.C.) pressure. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1" (2.5 cm) (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" (10.2 cm) of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5" (12.7 cm). The gas supply line to the cooktop should be ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (7.9 cm) 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. If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with LP/ Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices in the package containing the Installation Instructions Manual, in a bag marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION". Follow the installation instructions packaged with the orifices. The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion. Failure to make the appropriate conversion can result in 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. FIRE HAZARD. Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion. Manual Shutoff Flare Valve Union GAZ FLOW Pressure Flare Regulator Union On Off Flexible Connector All connections must be wrench-tightened Figure 7 Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in order: 1- manual shutoff valve, 2- ½" nipple, 3- ½" flare union adapter, 4flexible connector, 5- ½" flare union adapter, 6- ½" nipple, pressure regulator. Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked. The supply line should be equipped with an approved 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.
