PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natm'al gas
onlv at 5" (l 2.7 cm) of water cohunn pressure or
on I,P gas at 10" (25.4 cm) of water cohunn
pressure. It is shipped fl'om the thcto_ y set fl>r
natural gas. If you decide to use this cooktop with
I,P gas, conversion ac!justments illtlSt be made bv a
service technician or other qualified person.
A pressm'e regulator is to be connected in series
with tile manifold of tile cooktop and IlltlSt
remain in series with the supply line, regardless
of whether natm'al or I,P gas is being used.
For proper operation, tile i]laXill/tlln inlet
pressure to the regulator must be no more than
10" (25.4 cm) water cohum] pressm'e for natural
gas, or 14" (35.5 cm) water column pressm'e fl>r
I,P gas. For checking the reguhmm the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" (2.5 cm) greater than
the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set
fl)r 5" (l 2.7 cm) of water column pressm'e, tile
inlet pressure must be at least 6" (l 5.2 cm).
For ease of installation, and if local codes permit,
tile gas sui)ply line into tile cooktop should be
1/2" (13 ram) or 3/4" (19 ram) I.D. flexible
metal appliance connector three (0.9 m) to five
feet (1.5 m) in length.
[] PRESSURE TESTING
Tile maximum gas supply pressure for tile
regulator supplied on this appliance is 14"
(35.5 cm) X.V.C. The test pressm'e for checking
this regulator must be at least 6" (15.2 cm)
W.C. fi>r natm'al gas, and at least 11" (27.9 cm)
W.C. tot I,E It is shipped from the tactorv set
fl>r natural gas at 5" (12.7 cm) X&'.C.
This appliance and its individual shut-ot] valve
must be disconnected from tile gas supply piping
s>stem during any pressm'e testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of ½ PSI(;.
This appliance nlust be isolated fl'om the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-oft valve dm'ing any pressm'e testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressm'es
equal to or less than 1_ PSIG.
