INSTALLATION
Gas Information
Converting to LP Gas
This cooktop leaves the factory set for use with LP gas. Please read the rating label information
carefully to confirm this.
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
• Your cooktop is designed for LP gas (propane), 10" of water column.
• Make sure you are supplying your cooktop with the type of gas for which it's designed.
•
• For proper operation the pressure supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water column.
• When checking for proper operation of this regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1"
greater than the operating pressure as given above.`
• A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the cooktop to the gas supply line should
have an I.D. of 1/2 inches and be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
T
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon around all
male (external) pipe threads.
• 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 internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking
care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.
• 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.
WARNING - FIRE HAZARD: DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks.
