Lp/Propane Gas Conversion - IKEA FORSHALLAN Manual

3. Provide an Adequate Gas Supply
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas
at 4" 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 4" 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 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.
WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
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 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.
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.
