Connecting the Gas
WARNING
Do not install or use the cooktop without the included •
gas regulator installed.
Ensure that the arrow on the regulator points in the •
direction of the gas flow, towards the cooktop.
Do not apply excessive pressure when tightening gas •
connections and fittings.
Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on flexible •
gas line connections.
Test the gas lines for leaks as instructed before use.•
Do not use a flame to check for leaks.•
The maximum gas supply pressure to the regulator •
must never exceed ½ pounds per square inch (psi) or
3.5 kPa.
The cooktop and shut-off valve must be disconnected •
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing exceeding ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply •
piping system by closing the shut-off valve to the
cooktop during any gas supply piping system
pressure testing equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
For LP gas installations, the LP gas tank must have •
its own high-pressure regulator in addition to the
pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop.
Attach the gas pressure regulator (included with the 1.
cooktop) to the cooktop pipe nipple inlet. For tight
installations, the regulator may be installed upstream
from the pipe nipple, anywhere between the shut-off
valve and the cooktop. For best performance, minimize
gas pressure loss by attaching the regulator as close
as possible to the cooktop gas inlet.
Complete connection of the gas supply to the cooktop 2.
by installing a minimum ½” flexible gas line (not
included) between the pressure regulator and the shut-
off valve.
3. Check for gas leaks:
Turn all cooktop control valves to the OFF position.◊
Turn on the gas supply valve and check all lines ◊
and connections for leaks using a soap and water
solution or a gas leak detector.
Turn the gas supply off.◊

Installing the Cooktop
WARNING
To prevent damage to the gas pressure regulator, •
install it only after the cooktop is mounted in its
permanent position.
If the gas or electric service provided does not meet •
the product specifications, do not proceed with the
installation. Call the dealer, the gas supplier or a
licensed electrical or plumbing contractor.
This appliance must be installed by a licensed •
plumber or gas fitter when installed within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a hardening compound or
caulking to permanently seal the cooktop into place, as
the unit must be readily removable for service. If such a
hardening compound is used, removal of the unit will be at
the customer’s expense.
Before installation, verify that all parts are included. 1.
See the parts list on page 4.
Lower the cooktop into the cutout and center it.2.
Secure the cooktop to the countertop using the two 3.
(2) provided hold-down brackets as shown. Do not
overtighten.
