Gas requirements
Provide adequate gas supply.
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
The cooktop of this range is designed to operate at a manifold pressure of 5 in (13 cm) of
water column on natural gas.
Be certain that the appliance being installed is correct for the gas service provided (natural
gas).
When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1
in (2.5 cm) greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given.
GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS*
Gas Type
Minimum Manifold Pressure
Minimum Gas Supply Pressure**
Natural Gas
5” Water Column
6” Water Column
* The gas supply pressure for testing the regulator setting shall be at least 1 inch water
column (249 Pa) above the specified manifold pressure.
** Maximum gas supply pressure for all models: 1/2 psi.
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.
NOTE
•
The cooktop has its own regulator. Use only the provided regulator, which must be installed
in the gas line that runs from the cooktop gas inlet to the gas shut-off valve.
• An external manual shut
-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and the cooktop
for turning on/off gas to the appliance.
• Be sure the connectors are installed by a qualified installer
.
• For a new product, never install used connectors, which
can leak gas and cause personal
injury. Use only new, flexible connectors.
