Make Gas Connection WARNING 4. Place cooktop into the countertop cutout. NOTE: Check that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop. 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. Using two or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or back. 2. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure regulator using a 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread adapter. A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the cooktop to the existing gas line. The following shows a typical connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size, and location. A Typical flexible connection 1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with Propane gas to the smaller 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" (2.4 cm) combination wrench and channel lock pliers to attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that connector is not kinked. A B C H D A. Gas pressure regulator B.

CSA approved flexible stainless steel gas supply line 3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the cooktop burner base and in a position where you can reach the regulator cap. 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. Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and Propane gas. Do not use TEFLON® tape. You will need to determine the fittings required depending on your installation. 2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found. 3. Remove cooktop burner caps, and grates from parts package. Place burner caps on burner bases. Place grates over burners and caps. 11
