Supply Pressure: 6” min. to 14” max. water column (14.9 to 34.9 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 5” water column (12.5 mb)

Propane Gas Requirements:

Inlet Connection: 1/2” NPT (min. 3/4” dia. flex line)

Supply Pressure: 11” min. to 14” max. water column (27.4 mb to 34.9 mb)

Manifold Pressure: 10” water column (24.9 mb)

Hook Up

•A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed external to the appliance, in a location accessible from the front, for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not interfere with the back of the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the manual shut-off valve before connecting the appliance.

•The installer should inform the owner of the location of the gas shut-off valve. Make sure all users know where and how to shut off the gas supply to the rangetop.

•The gas supply connections shall be made by a competent technician and in accordance with local codes or ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54-current issue.

•Always use pipe-sealing compound or Teflon® tape on the pipe threads, and be careful not to apply excessive pressure when tightening the fittings.

•All installer-supplied parts must conform to applicable codes.

•Leak testing of the appliance shall be in accordance with the following instructions.

•Turn on gas and check supply line connections for leaks using a soap and water solution.

•Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak. Repair all leaks immediately after finding them.

WARNING:

Do not use a flame of any kind to check for gas leaks.

CAUTION:

When connecting unit to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with the appliance. The pressure of the gas supplied to the appliance regulator must not exceed a 14” water column (34.9 mb).

CAUTION:

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 (3.5kPa).

The appliance and 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 (3.5kPa.).

When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 6.0" W.C. for natural gas or 11.0" for propane.

Do not attempt any adjustment of the pressure regulator.
