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.
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1. Using 2 or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or
back.
2. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a
" male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown in the following
illustration is a typical connection. Your connection may be
different, according to the supply line type, size and location.
NOTE: When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven,
install a 90º elbow -
" female to
cooktop manifold pipe and the pressure regulator. The
regulator must be set with the arrow pointing towards the
cooktop. Apply pipe joint compound for use with LP gas to
the end of the cooktop manifold pipe and the male end of the
90* elbow.
3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the burner box and in a position where
you can reach the regulator.

IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe
when tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP
gas.
Do not use TEFLON
®
tape. You will need to determine the fittings
required depending on your installation.
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the
larger thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see B
and F in the following illustration).
2. Attach 1 adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the other
adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a
" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
