This cooktop is designed to operate at a
pressure of 5″ of water column on natural gas or
10″ of water column on LP, propane or butane
gas.
Make sure you are supplying your cooktop with
the type of gas for which it is designed.
This cooktop is convertible for use on natural or
propane gas. When using this cooktop on LP
gas, conversion must be made by a qualified LP
installer before attempting to operate the cooktop
on that gas.
For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas
supplied to the regulator should be between 5″
and 13″ of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be
between 10″ and 13″ of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″
more than the operating -manifold- pressure as
given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the
cooktop manifold must remain in the supply line
regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being
used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to
connect the cooktop to the gas supply line must
have an I.D. of 5/8″ and can be 3 feet max. in
length for easy installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors should be single wall metal
connectors less than 6 feet in length.
1. PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before
removing 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.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the
cooktop, the use of a CSA International-certified
flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended unless local codes require a hard-
piped connection.
Never reuse an old connector when installing a
new cooktop. If the hard piping method is used,
you must carefully align the pipe; the cooktop
cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on
all male (external) pipe threads.
1
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in
the gas line in an easily accessed location
outside of the cooktop. Be sure everyone
operating the cooktop knows where and
how to shut off the gas supply to the
cooktop.
2
Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to the
1/2″ NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure
regulator. Use a backup wrench on the
pressure regulator fitting to prevent
damage.
3
Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union 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.
4
Connect a flexible metal connector to the
adapter on the cooktop. Position the
cooktop to permit connection at the shut-off
valve.
5
When all connections have been made, be
sure all cooktop controls are in the off
position and turn on the main gas supply
valve.
Check for gas leaks using a manometer.
If a manometer is not available, turn the gas
supply on to the cooktop on and use a liquid
leak detector at all joints and connections to
check for leaks.
Tighten all connections, if necessary, to
prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or
supply line.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS.
Disconnect the cooktop and its individual shut-off
valve from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures more than 1/2 psig(3.5kPa).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig(3.5kPa)
