Gas Pressure Regulator

Gas Pressure Regulator

The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:

Natural Gas:

Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCP

Maximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCP

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP

Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).

For elevations above 6,560 ft (1999.5 m) a high altitude kit is needed to avoid any reduced power output. See separate LP gas conversion instructions sheet.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least

1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install Cooktop

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install cooktop. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven

IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.

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.

Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets

1.Determine whether your cabinet construction provides clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base ends. This is the recommended location. Clamping brackets can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base bottom, if necessary.
