GAS REQUIREMENTS
Connection:
1/2" NPT Minimum 5/8" dia. flex line.
Supply pressure:
6" to 9" W.C
Connection:
1/2" NPT Minimum 5/8" dia. flex line.
Supply Pressure:
11" to 14" W.C.
A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure of 14" W.C. to the
cooktop regulator.
A manual shut-off valve (not supplied) must be installed in an accessible location in the
gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance. In Massachusetts, such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State
Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters. The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8
meters) of the appliance.
Ensure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. The
gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with
local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to
the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. When within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.
To prepare the unit for connection to the gas supply
Thread the supplied 1/2" pipe nipple into the elbow on the end of the manifold. The elbow is
located inside the chassis of the unit, on the end of the manifold, facing down. It is accessible
through the square cutout in the left rear corner of the chassis bottom. Connect the outlet of
the regulator to the exposed end of the nipple, connect the flex line from the gas supply to the
inlet side of the regulator.
Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve in a location readily accessible
by the customer, so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency situation.
However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such placement.
Pipe sealant must be used on all pipe threads.
The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.
Ensure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance. Leak-
testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See
instructions following. When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the
regulator should be at least 7.0" W.C. for natural gas or 12.0" for LP.
The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a
certifying agency (CSA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic
material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
The arrow on the regulator indicating direction of gas flow should be pointing towards the
unit.
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The rangetop is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP, depending on the specific model ordered. If the rangetop is not
set for the gas supplied at the site, return to the dealer.
Pressure testing at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa.):
the rangetop and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
Pressure testing at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa.):
The rangetop must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
