INSTALLATION
Connecting the Gas
• Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old cooktop and leave it off until the
new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when
you turn the gas back on. Never use an old connector when installing a new cooktop.
• Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of
the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas
supply to the cooktop. See Fig-5
•
• Install male 3/8" flare male adapter to the 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a
backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.
• When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.
• Install male flare male adapter to the NPT thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care to
back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
• To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with gas Teflon
around all male (external) pipe threads.
•
• Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the cooktop. Position cooktop to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
• When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are in the off position
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to
check for leaks in the system.
