Gas Supply Requirements - Jenn-Air JGCK424PS Owner's Manual

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which must be used with a properly grounded
3-hole outlet with a standard 120 V, 60 cycle AC household
current. If you do not have a 3-hole grounded outlet, have a
qualified electrician change your old one. A grounding adaptor will
be needed to convert the old one until the outlet can be replaced.
This method is only temporary, and a qualified electrician should
test it to be sure it meets requirements.
Electrical Requirements
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove grounding
prong from the cooktop cord.

Gas Supply Requirements

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14ʺ (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating
personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
A QUALIFIED SERVICE MAN OR GAS APPLIANCE
INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with the National Fuel Gas Codes ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
or, in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1 - latest edition.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer
according to the instructions given. You must install the supplied
connection parts seen here in this configuration to the main gas
manifold on the appliance. Issues arising from a failure to do so
will not be covered by warranty.

Do not install the pressure regulator backwards as the gas will not
flow correctly. Check that the arrow on the back points in the
direction of gas flow.
Parts required for connection from gas supply to regulator are the
responsibility of the installer/owner.

NOTE: Use TEFLON ® ✝ tape rated for gas applications at all
threaded connections. Do not overtighten the connection at the
manifold or you could damage the gasket causing a leak.
IMPORTANT: If the line pressure supplying the appliance
pressure regulator exceeds 14 inches W.C. (any gas), an external
regulator must be installed in the gas line ahead of the appliance
regulator to reduce the pressure to prevent malfunction and
damage to the appliance.
Important Notes for Gas Connection
The appliance and its individual gas shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
All supply piping, except as noted, should use common National
Pipe Thread (NPT). For all pipe connections use an approved pipe
joint compound resistant to the action of propane gas.
This appliance is designed for use with natural gas or propane
gas. The gas pressure regulator is supplied with this appliance. It
must be installed in the gas way ahead of the manifold entrance. It
is pre-set for use with natural gas. To use it with different gas it
must be converted, as described in the Gas conversion paragraph.
If at any time the appliance is to be used with a different type of
gas, all the conversion adjustments must be made by a qualified
technician before attempting to operate the cooktop on that gas.
The gas should be supplied to the appliances pressure regulator,
at line pressure between 6" (15.24 cm) and 14" (35.56 cm) of
water column for natural gas, and between 11" (27.94 cm) and
14" (35.56 cm) of water column for propane gas.
