WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. 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: licensed heating personnel,

authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure 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 package containing literature. The model/ serial rating plate located on the left underside of the cooktop burner base 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. To convert to LP gas, use the LP gas conversion kit provided with the cooktop and see the “Gas Conversions” section.

Gas Supply Line

Gas Pressure Regulator

■ Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the

cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

■ NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas

must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,

4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long, ⁵⁄₈" (1.6 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting the cooktop to the gas supply line.

■ A ½" (1.3 cm) 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.

■ 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 enclosure or cabinet. 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.

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: 6" (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 Rating - Altitude

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 need to be reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The cooktop 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The cooktop 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
