The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the

same room as tile cooktop and should be in a location
that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block
access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.

Shutoff Valve -

Open position

Figure 8

Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the
gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move
through the gas line.

Check for leaks. After connecting the cooktop to the
gas supply, check the system for leaks with a

manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the
gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and

water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks

from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame
may result in a fire or explosion.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas

leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of control knob valves after
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
cooktop manifold pipe has not moved. A misalignment
could cause tile valve stems to rub on the control panel,
resulting in a gas leak at tile valve.

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual manual
shutoff vatve from tile gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"water column).

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping
system by (:losing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa or 14"' water column).
