The gas inlet is located on the bottom of the cooktop at the rear and 8½ from the right hand edge of the
cooktop� Make gas connection through rear wall, or on cabinet floor at rear� Install the house gas supply at
least 1" from the back wall�
2�
When installing, fit a safety tap at the end of the pipeline� The cooktop is manufactured and tested for
natural gas�
ImPORTANT: Make sure the type of gas being supplied to the cooktop is the same as that show on the label
affixed to the underside of the cooktop�
NOTE: All connections must be wrench-tightened� Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural
and LP gas�

Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the cooktop base and in
position where you can reach the regulator cap�
•
DO NOT make connections to the gas regulator too tight� Making the connections too tight may crack
the regulator and cause gas leak�
•
DO NOT allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when tightening�
4�
Apply Natural Gas/LP Gas pipe joint compound to the smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters�
5�
Attach 1 adapter and nipple to the gas pressure regulator and the other adapter and nipple to the gas shut-off
valve� Tighten both adapters and nipples�
6�
Using a wrench and pliers attach the flexible connector to both adapters� Check to ensure the connector is
not kinked or damaged�
Completing Gas Connection
1�
Check to make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position�
2�
Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line�
•
The valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe�
3�
Test all connections by brushing on an approved non-corrosive leak-detection solution�
•
bubbles indicates a leak, correct any leaks found�
4�
Check the alignment of the control knob valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure
the cooktop manifold pipe has not moved�
CAUTION: Misalignment could cause the valve stems to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas leak at the valve�
NOTE: Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3�5kPa or 14" water column)�
NOTE: Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3�5 kPa
or 14" water column)�
