Gas Supply Line
�
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (19 mm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the
action of Propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

tape. With Propane gas, piping or tubing size should be
1/2" (13 mm) minimum. Usually, Propane gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
Flexible Metal Appliance Connector:
�
If local codes permit, use a 1/2" (13 mm) or 3/4" (19 mm)
I.D. flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, designed
by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
�
A 1/2" (13 mm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the cooktop
pressure regulator.
�
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
�
Must include a shut-off valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
A. Gas supply line
B. Shut-off valve “open” position
C. To range
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings should be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea
level (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" (2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
14" (35.5 cm) WCP
The cooktop and its individual shutoff 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge 14" (35.5 cm)
WCP or lower
The cooktop 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION
Prepare Cooktop
Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT:
Do not cut top of product packaging. This may
damage the product.
1.
Open product as instructed on product packaging.
2.
Remove all items from both sides of the foam and set aside.
Take out packaging foam and set aside to lay cooktop on.
IMPORTANT:
Do not place packaging foam on knobs.
3.
Using 2 or more people, remove cooktop and place the
cooktop upside down on the packaging foam, making sure the
knobs are not laid on the foam.
4.
Remove plenum and plenum screw pack (in the literature
bag).
5.
Remove downdraft motor assembly.
