Connect the Cooktop to Gas
Close the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old cooktop and keep it closed until
the new connection is made. When turning the gas back on, don't forget to relight the pilot on
the appliance. Never use the old connectors when installing a new cooktop.
Convert to LPG or NG
This cooktop is factory settings to use natural gas or LPG. Please read the label information
carefully to confirm this.
Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Stovetop use natural gas at 5" of water column, while LPG (propane or butane) runs at
10".
Make sure to choose the right type of gas for your cooktop.
This cooktop is convertible for natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this
cooktop on LP gas, it must be converted by a professional installer.
For proper operation, the gas supply pressure to the regulator must be between 5”-3”
water column. But LPG is between 10” and 13”.
Inlet pressure must be at least 1” greater than the above operating pressure when
checking for proper operation of the regulator.
Flexible metal fittings used to connect the cooktop to the gas supply line should have
an I.D. of 1/2" and a length of 5 ft for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible
connectors must be single-wall metal connectors not exceeding 6 ft in length.
Adapt the Cooktop for Different Types of Gas
At first, the burner nozzle must be replaced, the operation steps are as follows:
Remove the grate and cover of the burner, then slide the burner off the cooktop.
Use a 0.28 inch (7mm) socket spanner to unscrew the factory-installed nozzles and
replace them to the desired gas nozzles.
It should be noted that the number of the nozzle surface is the injection diameter, the
larger the number corresponds to the larger the burner, and the same burner
corresponds to the same
.
Common Sense
: the nozzle aperture of NG is larger than that of LPG, and the two
cannot be mixed.
