Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure gas pressure does not exceed water column rating specified in LP conversion kit. Examples of a qualified person include licensed heating personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and authorized service personnel.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Important: Cooktop must be connected to a regulated gas supply.

This installation must conform with

. local codes and ordinances. In the

El absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1 - latest edition.*

El This cooktop is manufactured for use with NATURAL gas and it is design- certified by A.G.A.

L.P. gas conversion

This cooktop can be converted for use with L.P. gas. However, no attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier.

L!n -lLine Pressure Testing: Testing above l/2 psi (gauge)

The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that pressures greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing at l/2 psi (gauge) or lower

The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
