Cooktop & Installation Manual

Model COGB ENGLISH

Gas Requirement

A QUALIFIED SERVICE MAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION.

Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the instructions given.

WARNING

If the line pressure supplying the appliance pressure regulator exceeds 14 inches W.C. (any gas), an external regulator must be installed in the gas line ahead of the appliance regulator to reduce the pressure to no more than 14 inches W.C. Failure to do this can result in malfunction and damage to the appliance.

Important Notes for Gas Connection

The appliance and its individual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

All supply piping, except as noted, should use common National Pipe Thread (N.P.T.). For all pipe connections use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gas.

This appliance is designed for use with NG gas or LP gas.

The gas pressure regulator is supplied with this appliance. It must be installed in the gas way ahead of the manifold entrance. It is pre-set for use with natural gas. To use it with different gas it must be converted, as describe on Gas conversion paragraph (see figure 17 and 18).

If at any time the appliance is to be used with a different type of gas, all the conversion adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.

Before attempting to operate the cooktop on that gas. The gas should be supplied to the appliances pressure regulator, at line pressure between 6 and 14 inches of water column for NG, and between 11 and 14 inches of water column for LP.

Important:

•NEVER REUSE OLD CONNECTORS WHEN INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.

To reduce the likelihood of gas leaks, apply teflon tape or a thread compound approved for use with LP or Natural gases to all threaded connections.

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the cooktop inlet.

Check for leaks!

Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shutoff valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.

•NEVER TIGHTEN TO MORE THAN 35 ft lbs OF TORQUE.
