Install the Cooktop
Note:

placed into the cabinet.

Cooktop Installation
Install the Pressure Regulator
Note:
Instead of using solid piping to connect to
the pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal
appliance connector may be used between shut-
off valve and pressure regulator, if local codes
permit. Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are
required at each end of the flexible connector.
Install supplied pressure regulator and nipple in
gas line as close to cooktop’s inlet as possible.
Allowances for ventilation ducting may be
necessary. Make sure the regulator is installed in
the right direction.
Install manual shut-off valve in gas line in an easily
accessible location.
WARNING:
Do
not
use a flame to check for gas
leaks.
Turn ON gas. Check for leaks using liquid leak
detector at all joints in system. (Pressure test
nipple is adjacent to gas inlet pipe on rear
right-hand side of cooktop’s bottom.)

Note:
When using test pressures greater than
1/2 psig to pressure-test the gas supply system of
a residence, disconnect cooktop and individual
shut-off valve from gas supply piping. When using
test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas
supply system, simply isolate cooktop from gas
supply system by closing individual shut-off valve.
Check edges all the way around to be sure all
cutout edges are concealed and there are no
gaps.
