Installation Requirements
Gas-Supply Requirements
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
The rangetop operates at a manifold pressure of:
•
5 in. (13 cm) of water column for natural gas/natural-gas-at-high-altitude (NG-H) or
•
10 in. (25 cm) of water column for LP gas (propane)/LP-gas-at-high-altitude (LP/H).
Ensure your rangetop receives the proper gas. When verifying regulator function, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1 in. (2.5 cm) greater than the given operating (manifold) pressure.
The pressure regulator (at the inlet of the rangetop manifold) must stay in the supply line no matter the type
of gas used.
•
Use only the provided regulator, which must be installed in the gas line that runs from the gas inlet to the
shut-off valve.
•
An external, manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and rangetop for turning on/off
gas to the appliance.
•
Have a qualified technician install the connectors.
•
For a new rangetop, never install used connectors, which can leak gas and cause personal injury. Use only
new, flexible connectors.
Special Gas Requirements (gas models sold in Massachusetts)
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Requirements
•
Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous condition.
–
Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell alone.
–
Gas suppliers recommend installing a UL-approved gas detector per manufacturer specifications.
•
The rangetop must be installed by a Massachusetts-certified plumber or gas fitter.
•
A T-handle manual gas valve MUST be installed in the gas-supply line to the rangetop.
•
If a flexible gas connector is used, it must be a single length of line.
