Flexible metal appliance connector:
If local codes permit, use a W' or 3/4" I.D. flexible stainless
steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect
the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
A 3/8"male pipe thread is needed for connection to the
female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure
regulator.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection
requires a combination
of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent
cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening
and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve
is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.

Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing
at 1/2psi gauge (14" WOP) or lower
The appliance must be isolated 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 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
1. Place the cooktop upside down on a covered work surface.
Clean along the outside surface of the cooktop where the
foam strip will be applied.
2. Remove foam strip from package containing
literature.
Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-
side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip helps keep the underside of the
cooktop glass free from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat
on uneven counters.
