GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6. Install Pressure Regulator
Install the pressure regulator with the arrow on the
regulator pointing up toward the unit in a position where
you can reach the access cap.
FIRE HAZARD. Do not make the
connection too tight. The regulator is die cast.
Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas
leak and possible fire or explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe
to the pressure regulator in order: 1- manual shutoff
valve, 2- ½" nipple, 3- ½" flare union adapter, 4-
flexible connector, 5- ½" flare union adapter, 6- ½"
nipple, pressure regulator.
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not
kinked.
The supply line should be equipped with an approved
shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same
room as the cooktop and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access
to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.

Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a
few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.
Check for leaks. Leak testing of the appliance shall be
conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After connecting the cooktop to the gas supply, check
the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer
is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid
leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and
connections to check for leaks.
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment of valves after connecting the
cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the cooktop
manifold pipe has not been moved.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual shutoff
valve from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater
than ½ psig (3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" (35.6 cm) water column).
