Gas Pressure Regulator
Youmustusethegaspressureregulatorsupplied
withthisrangetop.Forproperoperationstheinlet
pressuretotheregulatorshouldbeasfollows:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6” of Water Column
Maximumpressure:13”ofWaterColumn
Propane (LP) Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11” of Water Column
Maximumpressure:13”ofWaterColumn
If you are not sure about the inlet pressure contact
local gas supplier.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old rangetop 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.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
rangetop,theuseofaCSAInternational-certified
