INSTALLATION GUIDE AND USER MANUAL
10
48” Rangetop
CONNECTING THE GAS TO THE RANGETOP
This rangetop is designed to be used with natural gas or liquid propane gas and operate at a
pressure of 4” of water column on natural gas or 10” of water column on propane gas (LP).
When converting this rangetop to use with other type of gas, be it from natural gas to liquid
propane gas or wise versa, the conversion modification must be made and tested by a qualified
installer before the next use of the rangetop with that gas. Conversion kits (burner nozzles /
orifices) are included in the user manual bag.
For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be between
4” and 5” of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10” and 12” of
water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” more
than the operating manifold pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the rangetop manifold must remain in the supply
line regardless of Natural (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP) gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the rangetop to the gas supply should be 3
feet (91.4 cm) max. in length for easy installation. In Canada, the flexible connector should be a
single-wall metal connector with less than 6 feet (182.9 cm) in length.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooking appliance (if applicable) and
leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilots on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts the movement of the rangetop, the use of a CSA certified flexible
metal connector is recommended unless your local codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never reuse the old connector when installing a new rangetop. If the hard piping method is
used, you must carefully align the pipes.
To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound resistant to NG gases on all male external
pipe threads.
