Alternative Piping Methods To Connect Appliance To Gas Supply

A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the instructions given.

Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new A.G.A. - Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The connector must be no more than 5 feet in length. Per figure 5, use appropriate flare union adapter at each end of the flexible connector. If a flexible connector is used assure that both the appliance pressure regulator and manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to other permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the appliance manifold) so as to be physically stationary. See illustrations below:

Pressure Testing

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa).

This appliance, as well as its individual shut-off valve, must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa).

When checking appliance regulator function, make certain pressure of natural gas supply is between 6 and 14 inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas, between 11 and 14 inches.

ILLUSTRATIVE ALTERNATIVE PIPING

CAUTION: Do not attempt to attach the flexible connector directly to an external pipe thread. Connection requires flare union adapters.

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 range. Include gas fittings and joints in the range 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.

This feature is complemented by a versatile selection of burner sizes, including a 15,000 BTU dual-flame burner, which allows for precise temperature control. This burner is particularly advantageous for simmering sauces or slow-cooking delicate dishes. Additionally, the JGC9536 incorporates powerful 6,000 BTU burners that are excellent for everyday cooking tasks, providing a good balance between heat and efficiency.

The JGC9430, while slightly smaller, does not compromise on performance. It features a robust 16,000 BTU burner that provides ample power for a variety of cooking methods. Both models are equipped with continuous cast iron grates that allow for easy movement of pots and pans across the cooktop. This design not only enhances stability but also offers a professional look to the kitchen.

A notable technology integrated into both the JGC9536 and JGC9430 is the Precision Temperature Control. This feature provides consistent heat across the burners, ensuring food is cooked evenly. The high-performance ignition system is another highlight, allowing for quick and reliable burner lighting, which is essential for busy kitchen environments.

In terms of aesthetics, both models feature sleek stainless steel finishes and a sophisticated design that complements any kitchen décor. The illuminated knobs on the front provide not only a stylish touch but also practical visibility, making it easy to operate even in low-light conditions.

Safety features are also a focus for both cooktops. The flame-sensing technology automatically re-ignites the burner if the flame goes out, providing peace of mind while cooking. Additionally, the sealed burners minimize the risk of spills and allow for easy cleaning.

In summary, the Jenn-Air JGC9536 and JGC9430 gas cooktops are top-tier choices for those seeking to enhance their cooking experience. With powerful burners, advanced temperature control technologies, and a commitment to safety and aesthetics, these cooktops stand out as excellent investments for any kitchen. Whether for everyday cooking or culinary adventures, these models deliver exceptional performance and versatility.
