GAS CONNECTION
This appliance can be used with natural gas or LP gas. It is shipped from the factory adjusted for use with
the gas specified on the nameplate. (See page 4 of the User Manual, for the location of the nameplate.)
Please note that this appliance is not field convertible.
Shut off gas supply before removing an old
cooktop and leave it off until new installation is
completed.
Use only pipe joint compound that is approved for
use with liquified petroleum gases. Install a manual
shut-off valve in an accessible location in the gas
piping, external to the range for the purpose of
turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
·
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
·
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Check
incoming gas supply pressure and the manifold
pressure (after the regulator) using a manometer.
The required manifold pressure for natural gas is
5” water column and for LP is 10” W.C. The gas
supply line must be at least 1” W.C. (249 Pa)
above the manifold pressure and must not exceed
14” W.C. (3.5 kPa or 1/2 psig).
Check for gas leaks using soap-water solution. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
