PREPARE FOR DUCTWORK
6
NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented outside. DO
NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or
any concealed space.
Determine the best route for ductwork; it can be
routed in a variety of ways depending on the
kitchen layout.

GAS CONNECTION

7
Make the gas
connection to the inlet
of the pressure
regulator on this
appliance with a 1/2"
pipe nipple with male
pipe thread. Use an
approved pipe joint
compound at pipe
connections.
Install a manual shut-off
valve in the gas line in
an easily accessible
location, as close to the
pipe stub as possible,
making allowances for
the ventilation ducting.
Be sure you know how
and where to shut off
the gas supply to the

cooktop.

NOTE:
Instead of using solid piping to connect to
pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal
appliance connector may be used between the
pipe stub and shut-off valve and the pressure
regulator, if local codes permit.
Appropriate flare union adapters are required at
elbow
each end of the flexible connector.
Turn on the gas; check for leaks using a liquid
leak detector at all joints in the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME
TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
IMPORTANT—Disconnect the cooktop and the
individual shut-off valve from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures greater than
Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by closing the individual manual shut-off
valve to the cooktop during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
