  • Page 20 Connecting the gas supply 1. Shut off the main gas-supply valve before disconnecting the old cooktop. 2. Complete the gas hookup. 3. Open the gas valve, and relight the burners on any other gas appliances.

To prevent gas leaks, apply pipe-joint compound or wrap pipe-thread tape with Teflon on all male (external) pipe threads.
  • Page 22 Checking for gas leaks WARNING To prevent an explosion/fire hazard possibly leading to personal injury or death, DO NOT use a flame to check for gas leaks. When using pressures above 1/2 psig to test the home gas-supply system, disconnect the cooktop and individual shut-off valve from the gas-supply piping.
