3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 5"
of manifold pressure only.
A pressure regulator is connected in series with the
manifold on the cooktop and must remain in series with
the supply line.
For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure
to the regulator must be no more than 14" of water
column (W.C.) pressure.
For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at
least 1" (or 2.5 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold
pressure setting. The regulator is set for 5" of manifold
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 6".
The gas supply line to the range should be 1/2" or 3/4"
pipe.
4. LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with
natural gas.
A kit for converting to LP gas is supplied with your
cooktop. The kit is marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS
CONVERSION".
The conversion must be performed by a qualifi ed service
technician in accordance with the kit instructions and
all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow
instructions could result in serious injury or property
damage. The qualifi ed agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate conversion
can result in serious personal injury and property
damage.

from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical
supply to cooktop.
