Make Gas Connection
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating
personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1.
Using two or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or
back.
2. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a 1/2" (13 mm) male pipe thread adapter and
nipple. A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect
the cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown following is a
typical connection. Your connection may be different,
according to the supply line type, size, and location.
3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward
the bottom of the cooktop base and in a position where you
can reach the regulator cap.

D. Up arrow. Regulator must be installed with
arrow pointing up to cooktop bottom
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause a
gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when
tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
Propane gas.
Do not use TEFLON
®
tape. You will need to determine the fittings
required depending on your installation.
