GE Monogram JGP645 Install the Pressure Regulator, Install the Cooktop, Step

STEP 5

Install the Pressure Regulator

Regulator

Solid piping or flexible connector

Shut-off valve

Pipe stub

•Install the supplied pressure regulator and nipple 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 pipe stub and 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.

•Turn on the gas. Check for leaks using a liquid leak detector at all joints in the system. (The pressure test nipple is adjacent to the gas inlet pipe on the rear right hand side of the cooktop bottom.)

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 1/2 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 1/2 psig.

STEP 6

Install the Cooktop

NOTE: If the cooktop is installed into a 36″ base cabinet, the pressure regulator MUST BE installed to the bottom of the cooktop before the cooktop is placed into the cabinet.

• Remove packaging from the cooktop.

•To insure a good fit, position the cooktop over the cutout opening and carefully lower into place. Check edges all the way around to be sure all cutout edges are concealed and there are no gaps.

•Carefully lift and remove the cooktop.
