Gas Supply Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International 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 14" (36 cm) water column.

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: This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest edition.

IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.

■This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To convert to LP gas, see the Gas Conversion instructions provided in the package containing literature. The model/ serial rating plate located on the left underside of the cooktop burner base has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

LP Gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. To convert to LP gas, use the LP gas conversion kit provided with the cooktop and see the “Gas Conversions” section.

Gas Supply Line

■ Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

■ NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
