GAS REQUIREMENTS

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If converting to LP gas, see the “LP Gas Conversion” instructions provided in the package containing literature. The model/serial/ rating plate located on bottom of the cooktop 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 cooktop 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

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®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should be 1⁄2" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

30" (76.2 cm) Cooktop 36" (91.4 cm) Cooktop

⁄4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■ If local codes permit, use a

steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.

■ A

⁄2" male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the cooktop pressure regulator.

■ Do not kink or damage the ﬂexible metal tubing when

moving the cooktop.

■ Must include a shut-off valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve. This valve should be located in the same room. It must be accessible without removing the cooktop, and it should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
