Never tighten to more than 35 ft-lbs of torque. Always use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gas.

Install the appliance in its counter cutout.

Make the gas connection to the inlet of the appliance pressure regulator with 1/2￿ NPT male pipe threads.

Install a manual shut-off valve in an accessible location in the gas line ahead of the appliance pressure regulator and external to this appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Make additional pipe connections as necessary ahead of the shut-off valve to the gas supply source. Assure all pipe joint connections are gas tight.

I M P O R T A N T

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection between the supply line shut-off valve and the cooktop. Include gas fittings and joints in the cooktop if connections were disturbed during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
