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 Propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With Propane gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.6 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system. Flexible metal appliance connector: ■■ If local codes permit, use a 5/8" (1.6 cm) flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line. NOTE: For multi-unit installations, a single shut-off valve is acceptable. Each unit must have its own regulator (supplied with the unit) and flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector. ■■ A 1/2" (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. ■■ Must include a shut-off valve: Install a manual gas line shut-off valve 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. B A C A. Gas supply line B. Shut-off valve open position C. To 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: Natural Gas: Minimum pressure: 15.2 cm WCP Maximum pressure: 35.5 cm WCP Propane Gas: Minimum pressure: 27.9 cm WCP Maximum pressure: 35.5 cm WCP Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure. NOTE: For multi-unit installations, each unit must have its own regulator (supplied with the unit). 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). For elevations above 6,560 ft (1999.5 m), a high altitude kit is needed to avoid any reduced power output. See separate Propane gas conversion instructions sheet. Gas Supply Pressure Testing Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (35.6 cm WCP) The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (35.6 cm WCP) or lower The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). †®TEFLON is a registered trademark of Chemours. 6
