Installing the Range top
Remove the range top from its package and set aside all burners,burner caps
and grates.
Gently slide in the cook top in to the cut-out,make sure your cut-outs are
there for the gas connection and electrical hookup(if you choose to use it).
Once this is done you’re now ready to slide the range top all the way back to
the wall.
Install all burners and burner caps
Install all grates.
Connecting gas to range top
This range top is designed to operate at a pressure of 4”of water column on
natural gas or 10”of water column on propane gas(LPG).
Make sure you are supplying your range top with the type of gas for which it is
designed.
It’s shipped for use with NG.
This range top is convertible for use on
natural gas(LPG)also.When using this range top on LPG gas,conversion must be
made by a qualified LPG installerbeforeattemptingtooperatetherangetoponthat gas.
For correct operation,the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be
between 4”and 5”of water column.For LP gas,the pressure supplied must be between
10”and 12”of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator,the inlet pressure must beat
least 1”more than the operating manifold pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range top manifold must remain in
the supply line regardless of whether Natural(NG)or Propane(LP)gas is being
used.
A flexible metal appliance connect or used to connect the range top to the gas
supply should be 3 feet/91.4 cm max.in length for easy installation.In
Canada,flexible connectors should be single wall metal connectors less than 6
feet/182.9 cm in length.
Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooking appliance(if
applicable)and leave it of fun til the new hook-up has been completed.Don’t forget
to relight the pilots on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-
