INSTALLATION--GAS CONNECTIONS
r_ PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural
gas at 4" of water column manifold pressure and
7" of water column (W.C.) supply pressure. It is
shipped from the factory set for natural gas. The
convertible pressure regulator supplied with the
unit must be connected in series with the manifold
of the cooktop and must remain in series with the
supply line regardless of whether natural or L.P.
gas is being used. FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE
HAXIHUH INLET PRESSURETO THE REGULATOR
HUST BE NO HaRE THAN 24" OF WATER COLUHN
PRESSURE.For checking the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA)
greater than the regulator output setting. If
the regulator is set for 4" W.C. of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5" W.C.
If the regulator is set for 10" W.C., the inlet pressure
must be at least 11" W.C.. The gas supply line to
the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.
r_ INSTALL REGULATOR
NEVER REUSE OLD CONNECTORS WHEN
INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.
