Fig. 5.1
All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes. This gas
supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the
appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to te action of LP/Propane
gas.
The cooktop is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by
CSA International for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion.
The model/serial rating plate, located on the underside of the burner box, has
information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree
with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. See page 16 for
L.P. gas conversion instructions.
1. Manual Shut-off Valve
(fig. 5.1):
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should
be located in the same room as the cooktop and should be in a location that allows
ease of opening and closing (in a position where it can be reached quickly in the
event of an emergency).
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off
gas to the appliance.
2. Pressure Regulator
(figures 5.2a - 5.2b - 5.2c - 5.2d):
a) All heavy duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator
on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure
may fluctuate with local demand. The regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
installed before any gas connections are made.
Use supplied pressure regulator only.
