Conversion instructions provided in the package containing the
literature.
Gas Supply Line
■ 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. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use
TEFLON
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.

tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½"
■ 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 opening, such as an adjacent
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.
