Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA international
approved gas supply line.
install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
if connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
•
If local codes permit, use a %" flexible stainless steel
tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the
cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
•
A 1/2"(1.3 cm) 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.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT:
Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is listed by Underwriters
Laboratories
(UL/cUL) for
use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP
gas.
•
This cooktop is factory-set
for use with Natural gas. To
convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion
instructions
provided in the package containing the literature. The model/
serial rating plate located on the underside of the burner box
has information
on the types of gas that can be used. If the
types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available,
check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial
rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas
Conversion instructions
provided in the package containing the
literature.
Gas Supply
Line
Provide a gas supply line of 3_,,(1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds
that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON ®t tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.
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: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (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.
