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.

Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
