Installation

Component Cooktop System

• Install the supplied pressure regulator in gas

supply line as close to the cooktop inlet as
possible.  Allowances for ventilation ducting
may be required.
– The regulator should be installed with the
arrow pointing in the direction of gas flow.

• Install a manual gas shut-off valve where it

will be easily reached. Be sure the user knows
where and how to shut off the gas supply.

• Appropriate flare union adapters are

required at each end of a flexible connector.

• Turn on the gas and check for leaks. Use a

liquid leak detector at all connections in the
system. A pressure test fitting is located on
the pressure regulator.

NOTE: 

If local codes permit, use 5 foot AGA-

certified flexible metal gas supply line. 3/4" or 1/2"
I.D. to match gas supply line.

Do not use old, previously used flexible line.

Connect electrical to downdraft vent

• Connect the 3-pin plastic plug from the

blower/motor assembly to the 3-pin plastic
socket on the underside of the vent controls.

• Fasten the wire box on the conduit over the

plug and onto the bottom of the control box
with screws provided.

The blower conduit is long enough to reach
the vent connection when installed in the
cabinet below. The conduit will also reach
some blower installations below the cabinet
floor.
• If the blower conduit is not long enough to

reach the vent connection, the leads can be
extended.

To add conduit length:

• Install an appropriate junction box near the

blower.

• Remove the wire box from the end of the

blower conduit.

• Cut the leads approximately 3" from the

plug.

• Cut a length of electrical cable to reach the

junction box. Use 14 gauge min. electrical
cable (or conform to local codes).

• Attach the wire box and plug to one end of

the cable. Connect opposite end of cable to
blower leads in the junction box.
