'TO CABINET
Provide adequate clearances between cooktop and
adjacent combustible surfaces.
For fkxible connection where local codes permiti
. Flexible metal tubing (same 3/4" or 1/2" I.D. as
gas supply line)
Adapter or union
For rigid connection: Pipe fittings as required.
STEP 2: PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas
at 4" of
water
column pressure. It is shipped from
the factory set for natural gas.
FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM INLET
PRESSURE 'IO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO
MORE THAN 14" OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must
be at least 1" (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the
regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for
4" of water column pressure, the inlet pressure
must be at least 5". If the regulator is set for 1O",
the inlet pressure must be at least 1l".
The gas supply line to the cooktop should be 1/2"
or 3/4" pipe.
In Canada, flexible connectors must be single walI
metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in Iength.
PROPANE GAS ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: The pressure regulator is set for natural
gas. To use Propane Gas, the regulator must be
converted.
Make sure the w~ coverings, countertop and cabinets
around the cooktop can withstand the heat
(Lip
to 200°F)
generated by the cooktop.
