Installation Instructions
CInstalling the Cooktop
C1 ProvideSupply Adequate Gas
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4″ of water column pressure. It is shipped from the factory set for natural gas (except JGP319 models, which are set for LP). The convertible pressure regulator supplied with the unit must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of whether natural or L.P. gas is being used.
FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO MORE THAN 14″ OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE. For checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1″ (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 4″ of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5″. If the regulator is set for 10″, the inlet pressure must be at least 11″.
The gas supply line to the cooktop should be 1/2″ or 3/4″ pipe.
C3 Installing the Regulator
NEVER REUSE OLD CONNECTORS WHEN INSTALLING THIS COOKTOP.
WARNING: Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use new flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
