Make Gas Connection
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1.
Using 2 or more people, stand the cooktop on its side
or back.
2.
Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a
1
/
2
" male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
cooktop to the existing gas line. The following shows a
typical connection. Your connection may be different,
according to the supply line type, size, and location.
3.
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the cooktop burner base and in a
position where you can reach the regulator cap.
IMPORTANT:
All connections must be wrench-tightened.
Do not make connections to the gas regulator too tight.
Making the connections too tight may crack the regulator
and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on
the pipe when tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural
and LP gas. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.
You will need to determine the fittings required depending
on your installation.
4.
Place cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE:
Check that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel
to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning
is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid
scratching the countertop.
Typical flexible connection
1.
Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the
smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see
B and F in the following illustration).
2.
Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and
the other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both
adapters.
3.
Use a
15
/
16
" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
Complete Connection
1.
Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line. The
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear,
a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.
3.
Remove cooktop burner caps, burner bases, and grates
from parts package. Place burner bases on cooktop. Place
burner caps on burner bases. Place grates over burners and
caps.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
