Make Gas Connection
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 G in the following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a
¹⁵⁄₁₆
" combination wrench and an adjustable wrench to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
4. Gas supply pipe must not be more than 10" (25.4 cm) above
the floor.
Complete Connection
1. Open the manual shutoff 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 and grates from package
containing parts. Align recess in burner caps with pins in
burner base. Burner caps should be level when properly
positioned. If burner caps are not properly positioned,
surface burners will not light. Place burner grates over
burners and caps.
4. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
