if connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
(icensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Fai(ure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
• This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. To
convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions
provided in the literature package. The model/serial rating
plate located on the left/center underside of the burner box
has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the
types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available,
check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas
Conversion instructions provided in the package containing
literature.
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 insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON ®ttape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.
1-®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
• If local codes permit, use a V2"or 3/4' I.D. flexible stainless
steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect
the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
• A 3/8"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 flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11' (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
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 are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop. It should be in a location that allows
ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the
cooktop.

Clean along the outside surface of the cooktop where the
foam strip will be applied.
2. Remove foam strip from literature package. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down around
bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)
The appliance and its individual shutoff 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 1/2psi gauge (14" WOP) or lower
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
pressures equal to or less than 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
NOTE: The foam strip protects the underside of the cooktop
glass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters.
