Gas supply:

These cooktops are shipped from the factory set for either natural gas or LP gas. Check to be sure you have the correct cooktop for the type of gas being used.

The pressure regulator must be connected in series with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in series with the supply line regardless of type of gas being used.

The natural gas model is designed to operate at

5water column pressure. A regulator is required

at the natural gas source to provide a minimum of 6water column to the cooktop regulator.

The liquid propane model is designed to operate at 10water column pressure. A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a minimum of 11water column to the cooktop regulator.

Maximum inlet pressure for the regulator supplied with the cooktop is 14water column regardless of the gas being used.

For ease of installation, and if local codes permit, the gas supply line into the cooktop should be 1/2or 3/4ID flexible metal appliance connector, three to five feet long.

NOTE: Purchase new flexible line. DO NOT USE OLD,

PREVIOUSLY USED FLEXIBLE LINE.
