3. Provide an Adequate Gas
Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas
at 5" 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" of
water column (W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the
regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator
is set for 5" of manifold pressure, the inlet
pressure must be at least 6".
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or
3/4" 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.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your
cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS
CONVERSION".
The conversion must be performed by a qualified
service technician in accordance with the kit
instructions and all local codes and requirements.
Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for
the conversion.
WARNING
Failure to make the appropriate conversion can
result in serious 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.
WARNING
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.
All connections must be wrench-tightened
Assemble the flexible connector from the gas
supply pipe to the pressure regulator in the
following order:
1. manual shutoff valve
2. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
3. 1/2" (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
4. flexible connector
5. 1/2" (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
6. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
7. 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 must be equipped with an
approved manual 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.
