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

●

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. With LP gas, piping or
tubing size can be ¹⁄₂" (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 ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) I.D.,
flexible metal appliance connector may be used for
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply 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.

Electrical:

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit
is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this cooktop be provided.
