Before connecting the gas supply, make
sure all valves are in a closed position.
Do not connect the gas supply to an
appliance that shows any sign of physical
damage.

Provide a gas supply line of
the rangetop location. A smaller size pipe on
long runs may result in insufficient gas supply.
Pipe joint compounds, suitable for use with LP
gas should be used. For LP gas, piping or
1
tubing size can be / " minimum. LP gas suppli-
2
ers usually determine the size and materials
used on the system.
If local codes permit, a certified, 3' (.9 m) long,
1 3
/ " or / " ID flexible metal appliance connector

is recommended for connecting this rangetop
to the gas supply line. Do not kink or damage
the flexible connector when moving the
rangetop. The pipe fitting coming out the
1
bottom of the unit has / " female threads. You
2
will need to determine the fittings required,
depending on the size of your gas supply line,
flexible metal connector and shut-off valve.

Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.
If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a
combination of pipe fittings must be used to
obtain an in-line connection to the rangetop.
All strains must be removed from the supply
and gas lines so the rangetop will be level and
in line.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The supply line must
be equipped with an approved external gas
shut-off valve located near the rangetop in an
accessible location. Do not block access to the
3
/ " rigid pipe to
4
shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All connections to the gas
piping must be wrench-tightened. Do not make
connections too tight, this may crack the gas
pressure regulator and cause a gas leak. Do
not allow the pipes to turn when tightening
fittings as the tubing in the burner box may
bend and begin to leak.
Assemble the flexible metal connector from
the gas supply to the gas pressure regulator,
located inside the rangetop. Determine the
fittings required depending on the size of your
gas supply line, flexible metal connector and
shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration below. If
a flexible metal connector is used, be sure the
tubing is not kinked. Use a pipe-joint compound
made for use with natural and LP gas.
Open the shut-off valve in the gas supply line.
Wait a few minutes for the gas to move
through the line.
