Gas Supply Line
■ Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufcient gas supply. With Propane gas, piping or
tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane
gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the
system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of
Propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

tape.
■ Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certied, 4-5ft
(122-152 cm) long, 5/8" (1.6 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D.,
exible metal appliance connector may be used for
connecting the cooktop to the 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 exible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
■ Must include a shut-off valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off 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
beused. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as
followsforproper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 10" (25.4 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Rating — Altitude
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 need to be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above
sealevel (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"
(2.5cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial/rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14"
[35.6 cm] WCP)
The cooktop and its individual shut-off 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge (14"
[35.6 cm] WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated 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
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the left front underside of
the burner base.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on your model ordered. See the “Tools
and Parts” section for a complete list of parts supplied with your
cooktop.
The pressure regulator and exible stainless steel gas supply
line connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after
the cooktop is installed in the cutout. See the “Make Gas
Connection” section.
1. Decide on the nal location for the cooktop.
2. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface.
3. Remove foam strip from packing containg literature. Remove
backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side
down along the left and right sides of the cooktop trim.
NOTE: The foam strip helps the cooktop sit at on uneven
counters and avoids damage to the countertop surface.
4. Using two or more people, turn cooktop right side up.
