Jenn-Air JGC3530G Installation Instructions - Page 8

Make Gas Connection Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and WARNING propane gas. Do not use TEFLON® tape. You will need to determine the fittings required depending on your installation. Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to propane, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column. Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. To Assemble Pressure Regulator: 1. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure regulator using a 1/2" (13 mm) male pipe thread adapter. A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown in the following illustration is a typical connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size, and location. NOTE: When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven, install a 90º elbow-1/2" (13 mm) female to 1/2" (13 mm) male-between the cooktop manifold pipe and the pressure regulator. The regulator must be set with the arrow pointing toward the cooktop. Apply pipe joint compound for use with propane gas to the end of the cooktop manifold pipe and the male end of the 90° elbow. 2. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the burner box and in a position where you can reach the regulator. A B C D A. Gas pressure regulator B. Up arrow-regulator must be installed with arrow pointing up at cooktop bottom. C. Adapter (must have 1/2" [13 mm] male pipe thread) D. UL Listed or CSA Approved flexible stainless steel gas supply line IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when tightening fittings. Typical flexible connection 1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with propane gas to the larger thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see B and F in the following illustration). 2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both adapters. 3. Use a 15/16" (24 mm) combination wrench and channel lock pliers to attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not kinked.
