b) Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualified Iicensed plumber or gas service
company. Please provide the service person with this manual before work is started on the cooktop. (Gas
conversions are the responsibility of the dealer or end user.)
c) This cooktop can be used with NATURAL or LP/PROPANE gas. It is shipped from the factory adjusted
for use with NATURAL gas.
d) Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer; NATURAL gas requires 5,0’’W.C.P. and LP/
PROPANE requires 10,0’’ W.C.P. (see Figure 5.2-X)
Incoming line pressure upstream from the regular must be 1” W.C.P. higher than the manifold pressure in
order to check the regulator.
The regular used on this cooktop can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI (14.0” W.C.P). If the
line pressure is in excess of that amount, a step-down regulator will be required.
e) The appliance its individual shut-off valve, and pressure regulator must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PS (3.5 kPa).
f) 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 pressure equal to or less than l/2
PSI (3.5 kPa).
3. Flexible Connections:
lf local codes permit, CSA design-certified, flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for con-
necting this cooktop to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible connector when moving the
cooktop. The pressure regulator has 3/8” NPT female pipe threads. You will need to determine the fittings
required. depending on the size of your gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shutoff valve.
4. Rigid Pipe Connections:
If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line
connection to the cooktop. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so cooktop will be
level and in line.
• Use joint compounds and gaskets that are resistant to action of natural or propane gas on all male pipe
threads.
• Do not over tighten gas fitting when attaching to pressure regulator. Over tightening may crack regula-
tor.
5. Leak Testing:
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted as follows;
• After final gas connection is made. turn on manual gas valve and test all connectors in gas supply piping
and appliance for gas leaks with a soapy water solution. During this test all appliance gas valves have to be
closed.
• In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use a lighted match. lf a leak is present
tighten joint or unscrew apply more joint compound. tighten again and retest connection for leak.
