3.1 Gas supply requirements
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Use a new AGA- or CSA-approved gas supply line.
- Install a shut-off valve.
- Securely tighten all gas connections.
- lf connected to LP, have a qualified technician ensure that gas pressure
does not exceed a 14" water column.
- Examples of qualified technicians include licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.
- Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
NOTE:
- observe all government codes and ordinances.
- The cooktop must be connected to a regular gas supply.
1)
This installation must conform to local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations
must conform to American National Standards, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition** or
CANI 13149.1 or 2**.
2)
If local codes permit, a flexible metal appliance connector with the new AGA- or CSAcertified design, 4-5
feet (1.2-1.5 m) long, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., is recommended for connecting this cooktop to the gas supply line.
Do not bend or damage the flexible connector when moving the cooktop. The pressure regulator has 3/8
female pipe threads. You will need to determine the fittings required, depending on the size of your gas
supply line, the flexible metal connector and the shut-off valve.
3)
The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shut-off valve.
This valve should be located in the same room as the cooktop and
should be in a location that allows for easy opening and closing.
Do not block access to the shut-off valve. The valve is necessary for
turning the gas to the appliance on or off.
