1.
The gas inlet is located on the bottom of the cooktop at the rear and 8½ from the right hand edge of the
cooktop. Make gas connection through rear wall, or on cabinet floor at rear. Install the house gas supply at
least 1” from the back wall.
2.
When installing, fit a safety tap at the end of the pipeline. The cooktop is manufactured and tested for
natural gas.
IMPORTANT
: Make sure the type of gas being supplied to the cooktop is the same as that show on the label
affixed to the underside of the cooktop.
NOTE
: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural
and LP gas.

3.
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the cooktop base and in
position where you can reach the regulator cap.
DO NOT make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making the connections too tight may crack
the regulator and cause gas leak.
DO NOT allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when tightening.
4.
Apply Natural Gas/LP Gas pipe joint compound to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters.
5.
Attach 1 adapter and nipple to the gas pressure regulator and the other adapter and nipple to the gas shut-off
valve. Tighten both adapters and nipples.
6.
Using a wrench and pliers attach the flexible connector to both adapters. Check to ensure the connector is
not kinked or damaged.
Completing Gas Connection
1.
Check to make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
2.
Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line.
The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
3.
Test all connections by brushing on an approved non-corrosive leak-detection solution.
Bubbles indicates a leak, correct any leaks found.
4.
Check the alignment of the control knob valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure
the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved.
CAUTION
: Misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
NOTE
: Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa or 14” water column).
NOTE
: Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa
or 14” water column).
