The supply
line must be equipped
with an approved
manual
shutoff
valve.
This valve should
be located
in the same room as the cookfop
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.

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.
Once
regulator
is in place r open
the shutoff
valve
in the
gas
supply
line.
Wait
a few
minutes
for
gas
to move
through
the gas
line.
Check
for
leaks.
After
connecting
the cooktop
to
the gas
supply,
check
the
system
for
leaks
with
a
manometer.
If a manometer
is not available,
turn
on the
gas
supply
and
use a liquid
leak
detector
(or
soap
and
water)
at all joints
and
connections
to check
for
leaks.
__Z_
Do not use a flame
to check
for
leaks
from
gas
connections.
Checking
for
leaks
with
a flame
may
result
in a fire
or explosion.
Tighten all connections
if necessary
to prevent
gas
leakage
in the cooktop
or supply
line.
Check alignment
of control knob valves
after
connecting
the cooktop
to the gas supply
to be sure the
cooktop
manifold
pipe has not moved.
A misalignment
could
cause the valve stems to rub on the control
panel,
resulting
in a gas leak at the valve.
Disconnect
this cooktop
and its individual
manual
shutoff
valve
from the gas supply
piping
system during
any pressure testing
of that
system at test pressures
greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"water
column).
isolate
the cooktop
from
the
gas
supply
piping
system
by closing
its individual
manual
shutoff
valve
during
any
pressure
testing
of the gas
supply
piping
system
at test
pressures
equal
to or less than
1/2
psig
