STEP 6

PREPARE FOR DUCTWORK

NOTE: Ductwork MUST be vented outside. DO NOT vent into a wall, ceiling, crawlspace, attic or any concealed space.

Determine the best route for ductwork; it can be routed in a variety of ways depending on the kitchen layout.

GAS CONNECTION

Make the gas connection to the inlet of the pressure regulator on this appliance with a 1/2" pipe nipple with male pipe thread. Use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the action

of LP gas at pipe connections.

Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessible location, as close to the pipe stub as possible, making allowances for the ventilation ducting.

Be sure you know how and where to shut off the gas supply to the cooktop.

Instead of using solid piping to connect to pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal appliance connector may be used between the pipe stub and shut off valve and the pressure regulator, if local codes permit.

Appropriate flare union adapters are required at each end of the flexible connector.

Turn on the gas; check for leaks using a liquid leak detector at all joints in the system.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

IMPORTANT—Disconnect the cooktop and the individual shut off valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 12 PSIG. Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shut off valve to the cooktop during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 12 PSIG.
