17. INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD: do not

exceed 25 ft-lbs. of torque when making gas

line connections. Overtightening may crack the

pressure regulator resulting in fire or explosion

hazard.

• You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied

with this range.

• Shut off the main gas supply valve before

disconnecting the old cooktop and leave it off until

to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you

turn the gas back on.

• For all connections, use a pipe sealant approved by

• Install the pressure regulator in the gas line as close

to the cooktop inlet as possible to allow clearance for

ventilation ducting.

• Make sure the arrow on the body of the regulator

is pointing straight up and toward the cooktop. Any

other position will affect the output pressure of the

regulator. This arrow indicates correct flow of gas.

• Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily

accessible location.

NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect

appliance connector may be used between the

shut-off valve and the pressure regulator, if local

codes permit.

• If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully

align the pipe. The cooktop cannot be moved after

the connection is made.

• Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are required at

all cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the

gas supply valve to ON.

3. Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution

around all connections from the shut-off valve to the

cooktop.

4. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the

area of the leak.

5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten

the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.

If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and
