Make Gas Connection

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.

Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout

1.Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the cutout.

NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.

2.Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.

3.Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of 2½" (6.4 cm) clamping screws.

To Assemble Pressure Regulator:

1.Using 2 or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or back.

2.Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure regulator using a ½" male pipe thread adapter and nipple.

A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown following is a typical connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location.

3.Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the cooktop base and in a position where you can reach the regulator cap.
