GAS CONNECTION

WARNING: 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" (36cm) 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.
WARNING: NEVER reuse an old flexible connector. The utilization of an old flexible connector may cause gas
leakage and personal injury.
NOTE: ALWAYS use a new flexible connector when installing a gas appliance.
NOTE: ALWAYS apply thread compound approved for use with LP or Natural Gas to all thread connections.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be used. For proper operation the inlet pressure to
the regulator should be as follows. (Refer to Figure 9.)
Natural Gas
Minimum Inlet Pressure:
5" WCP (Water Column Pressure)
Maximum Supply Pressure:
6" WCP (Water Column Pressure)
LP Gas
Minimum Inlet Pressure:
11" WCP (Water Column Pressure)
Maximum Supply Pressure:
12" WCP (Water Column Pressure)
NOTE: Contact your local gas supplier if
you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
The pressure regulator must be connected in
series with the manifold of the cooktop and
must remain in series with the supply line
regardless the type of gas being used.
Gas Shut-Off Valve
The gas supply line must be equipped with
a manual shut-off valve. This valve should
be located in the same room but external to
the cooktop. It should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. DO NOT
block access to shut-off valve. The valve
is for turning on or shutting off gas to the
cooktop. (Refer to Figure 10.)
IMPORTANT: It is important to know how and where to shut off the gas supply to the cooktop.
