CONNECTIONS

•Install the supplied pressure regulator in the gas line as close to the cooktop inlet as possible. Allowances for ventilation ducting may be necessary.

Make sure the regulator is installed in the right direction.

•Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessible location.

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

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

TEST FOR LEAKS

WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK

FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop until all connections have been leak tested.

Perform leak test per the following instructions:

1.Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.

2.When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the gas supply valve to ON.

3.Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution around all connections from the shut-off valve to the cooktop.

4.A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.

5.If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.

If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and contact your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate the cooktop if a leak is present.

• Loosen the two screws and remove and discard the

sheet metal connector cover on the cooktop bottom.

Save the screws for reinstallation later.

• Connect the 5-pin plug on the blower assembly to

the matching 5-pin receptacle on the bottom of the

cooktop.

5-pin connectors

•Fold all wires into the electrical enclosure. Secure the enclosure with the screws removed earlier, making sure that no wires are trapped.
