10 PREPARE THE COOKTOP
Remove the blank 9-pin connector plug from the
9-pin receptacle on the bottom of the cooktop and
discard. Connect the 9-pin plug on the blower
assembly to the matching 9-pin receptacle on the
bottom of the cooktop. Secure the connector cover
to the cooktop using 3 screws, making sure the
power cord comes out the U-shaped opening with
the wires to the motor.

11 INSTALL THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR AND CONNECT
Shut-off valve
Using pipe sealant, approved by local codes,
install the supplied pressure regulator in the
gas line as close to the cooktop inlet as possible.
Allowances for ventilation ducting may be necessary.
Do not route the gas line under the access box
under the cooktop. Allow room for removal of
the connector panel for servicing.
Make sure the regulator is installed in the
proper direction.
Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in
an easily accessible location.

(cont.)
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect
to the pressure regulator, an approved flexible
metal appliance connector may be used between
the shut-off valve and the pressure regulator, if
local codes permit.
Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are required
at each end of the flexible connector.
Make sure all the knobs are in the off position.
Hook up the gas line and check for leaks.
TEST FOR LEAKS
WARNING:
DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop
until all connections have been leak tested.
Perform leak test per the following instructions:
1. Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap
solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
2. When all connections have been made, make
sure all cooktop controls are turned to OFF and
turn the gas supply valve to ON.
3. Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap
solution around all connections from the shut-off
valve to the cooktop.
4. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the
area of the leak.
5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off.
Tighten the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.
1. If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and
contact your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt
to operate the cooktop if a leak is present.
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.
