IMPORTANT:
Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
TYPE OF GAS
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. The model/serial rating
plate located on the underside of the cooktop base has information on the
types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type
of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas Conversion:
Conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes the gas conversion responsibility.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on
the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting
the serving gas supplier. See "GAS CONVERSION" section.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) 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 LP gas must be used. With LP gas, piping
or tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
IMPORTANT:
All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not make
connections to the gas pressure regulator too tight. Making the connections
too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the
regulator to turn or move when tightening fittings.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
•
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm)
long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector
may be used for connecting cooktop to the gas supply line.
•
A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe
threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
•
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the cooktop.
