GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For Models with 4 Sealed Burners, Tempered Glass Cooktops or Porcelain Enamel Cooktops)
LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas.
If you wish to convert your cooktop for use with LP/
Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in
the package containing the Installation Instructions, in a
bag marked, "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION."
Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualified service
technician in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in serious injury
or property damage. The qualified agency performing
this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in personal injury and property
damage.
Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the
regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position
where you can reach the access cap.
Do not make the connection too tight.
The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the
regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or
explosion.
Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in order: manual shutoff valve,
nipple, flare union adapter, flexible connector, flare
union adapter, nipple, pressure regulator.
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.
Clamp Down Information
Once the unit is installed in the counter opening, you
must clamp the unit down as shown.
To clamp down, insert the bracket with the offset side of
the angle into the slots on each side of the unit. The
thumb screw should then be run through the bracket, up
against the bottom of the counter. Tighten until the unit
draws down.
Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to
operate on 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas
manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is
connected to the manifold and MUST be connected in
series with the gas supply line.
For proper operation,
the maximum inlet pressure to
the regulator should be no more than 14" of water
column pressure (3.5 kPa).
The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1"
(.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure
setting. The regulator is set for 4" water column (1.0
kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure, the inlet pressure
must be at least 5" water column (1.25 kPa) Natural gas.
For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for 10"
water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure, the inlet
pressure must be at least 11" water column (2.75 kPa).
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4"
solid pipe.
