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
½" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size
and materials used in the system.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, use a ¹⁄₂" or ³⁄₄" I.D. flexible stainless
®†
tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should be
steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect
the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.
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.
■ A ½" 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.
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.
