Installation Instructions
Gas Line Connection
WARNING
• Verify that the gas supply meets specifications
before connection. See page 4.
• Do not install or use the cooktop without the includ-
ed gas regulator installed.
• Make sure that the arrow on the regulator points in
the direction of the gas flow, towards the cooktop.
• Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening
gas connections and fittings.
• Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on flex-
ible gas line connections.
• Test the gas lines for leaks as instructed before
use. Do not use a flame to check for leaks.
• The maximum gas supply pressure to the regula-
tor must never exceed 1/2 pounds per square inch
(psi) or 3.5 kPa.
• The cooktop and shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing exceeding 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing the shut-off valve to the
cooktop during any gas supply piping system pres-
sure testing equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• For LP gas installations, the LP gas tank must have
its own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: You must insert the fiber gasket into the
female end of the adapter before connecting it. All
parts, except for flexible gas line, are included. See
diagram before you begin.
1. Place the fiber gasket inside the brass NPT adapter.
2. Attach the brass NPT adapter to the gas inlet on the
cooktop. Make sure the gasket is inside the adapter’s
female end (see picture).
3. Attach the gas pressure regulator to the brass NPT
adapter.
• The gas-flow direction arrow on the pressure
regulator must point toward the cooktop.
• For tight installations: Install the pressure regula-
tor anywhere between the shut-off valve and the
cooktop.
• For best performance: Minimize gas pressure
loss by installing the pressure regulator as close
as possible to the cooktop’s gas inlet.
4. Complete the connection with a 1/2-inch flexible gas
line with fitting (not included).
