4. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at
4" (10.2 cm) 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" (35.6 cm) of
water column (W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must
be at least 1" (2.5 cm) (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the
regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set
for 4" (10.2 cm) of manifold pressure, the inlet pressure
must be at least 5"' (12.7 cm).
The gas supply line to the cooktop should be Y2"(1.3
cm) or 3A"(7.9 cm) pipe.
5. 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.
If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with LP/
Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices in the
package containing the installation Instructions
Manual, in a bag marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS
CONVERSION". Follow the installation instructions
packaged with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified
service technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
Failure to follow instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in personal injury and property
damage.
Important: Remove all packing material and
literature from cooktop before connecting gas and
electrical supply to cooktop.
6. 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.
FIRE HAZARD. 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,
Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply
pipe to the pressure regulator in order: 1- manual
shutoff valve, 2- Y2"nipple, 3- Y2"flare union adapter,
4- flexible connector, 5- Y2"flare union adapter, 6- Y2"
nipple, pressure regulator.

All connections must be wrench-tightened
Figure 5
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 should be equipped with an approved
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.

Figure 6
Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a
few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.
Check for leaks. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check
the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer
is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a
liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and
connections to check for leaks.
Do not use a flame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
