GAS REQUIREMENTS
PRESSURE REGULATOR
All heavy duty commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient
operation, since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand. External regulators are not required on this cook top since a
regulator is built into each unit at the factory. Under no condition should the built-in regulator be bypassed.
Flexible Connections:
If the unit is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, the installer just uses a heavy duty AGA
designed-certified flexible connector at least 1/2" ID NPT in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69.
In Canada:
CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances and CAN 1-6.9 M79 Quick Disconnect devices for use with gas fuel.
In Massachusetts:
This appliance must be installed with a 36" (3 foot) long flexible gas connector.
VENTILATION
Proper ventilation is required for safe, efficient operation of this appliance. The range/cooktop must be installed under an
appropriate canopy ventilation hood. The hood must be at least as wide as the appliance.
Especially in newer homes which are better sealed against the outdoors, a powerful exhaust fan can create a vacuum in the room. To
avoid this condition, have a qualified contractor match the appropriate hood to the specific cooktop/range. A balanced ventilation
system will factor the size of the range, size of the hood and power of the exhaust fan. It is recommended that the exhaust fan be
powerful enough to move a minimum of 300cfm.
