Install
Cooktop
Step
• Install the supplied pressure regulator and
nipple in the gas line as close to the cooktop
inlet as possible.
–Make sure the regulator is installed in the
right direction. See arrow on underside of
regulator.
• Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line
in an easily accessible location.
NOTE:
Instead of using solid piping to
connect to pressure regulator, an approved
flexible metal appliance connector may be
used between the pipe stub and the shut-off
valve to the pressure regulator, if local codes
permit.
– Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are
required at each end of the flexible
connector.
• Turn on the gas. Check for leaks using a
liquid leak detector at all joints in the system
(the pressure test fitting is on the side of the
regulator).
Do not use a flame to check for
gas leaks.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnect the cooktop and
the individual shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures greater
than 1/2 psig. Isolate the cooktop from the
gas supply piping system by closing the
individual manual shut-off valve to the
cooktop during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
