Install a shut-off valve. Securety tighten all gas connections,

ff connected to LP, have a qua{ified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water

comumn,

Exampmes of a quamified person include: licensed heating personneB,

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. Inthe 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.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is design-certified by the 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 literature package. The model/serial rating plate located on

the underside of the burner box 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 appliance 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 literature package.

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 _t tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"

minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

1-CeTEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Company.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

• If local codes permit, use a 1/2"or 3/4"I.D. flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.

• A %" 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. 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.

Gas Pressure Regulator

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: 5" (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 Requirements

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 are 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

Line pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)

The cooktop and its individual manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than

1/2psi (3.5 kPa). Line pressure testing at 1/2psi 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 that system at test pressures equal to or less than

1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
