Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION--GAS CONNECTIONS
Ill PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on
natural gas at 4" of water column manifold
pressure and 7" of water column (W.C.)
supply pressure. It is shipped from the
factory set for natural gas. The convertible
pressure regulator supplied with the unit
must be connected in series with the
manifold of the cooktop and must remain in
series with the supply line regardless of
whether natural or L.P. gas is being used.
FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM
INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR
MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14" OF WATER
COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the
regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least
1" W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the
regulator output setting. If the regulator is set
for 4" W.C. of water column pressure, the
inlet pressure must be at least 5" W.C. If the
regulator is set for 10" W.C., the inlet pressure
must be at least 11" W.C.. The gas supply line
to the cooktop should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.
