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 B C D A. Gas pressure regulator B. Regulator - Must be installed with arrow pointing up to cooktop bottom C.

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. 10
