front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply.
The supply line must not interfere with the back of the
unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the
manual shut-off valve before connecting the
appliance.
• The installer should inform the owner of the location
of the gas shut-off valve. Make sure all users know
where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
rangetop.
• The gas supply connections shall be made by a
competent technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes,
the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54-current issue or, in
Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code, CSA B149.1.
• The gas supply pressure for checking the regulator
setting shall be at least 1 in. WC (249 Pa) above the
manufacturer's specified manifold pressure.

appliance. The appliance gas inlet connection is ½''
(12.7 mm) NPT.
