GAS COOKTOP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The conversion must be performed by a qualified
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 qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the
conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
Important: Remove all packing material and literature
from cooktop before connecting gas and electrical
supply to cooktop.
5. 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.
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.
All connections must be wrench-tightened
Figure 7
Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply
pipe to the pressure regulator in the following order:
1. manual shutoff valve
2. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
3. 1/2" (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
4. flexible connector
5. 1/2" (1.3 cm) flare union adapter
6. 1/2" (1.3 cm) nipple
7. 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.
(For 30" & 36" Models)
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual 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.

Shutoff Valve -
Open position
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.
Check for leaks. 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 control knob valves after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be
sure the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A
misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on
the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve.
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"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 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14" water column).
