Gas Supply Requirements
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Use a certified gas supply line and install a gas
IMPORTANT NOTE: This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with the American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code.
TYPES OF GAS
There are two types of gas, natural and liquid propane (LP). Conversions are required in order for appliances designed for one gas to be operated with the other gas. Such conversions must be performed by a Wolf authorized service center. Make sure your gas cooktop is correctly adjusted for the type of gas being used.
The product rating plate has information on the type of gas that should be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. The rating plate is located on the underside of the cooktop. Refer to the illustration on page 3.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
IMPORTANT NOTE: The gas cooktop must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
A gas supply line of 3/4" rigid pipe must be provided to the cooktop. For LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system. If local codes permit, a certified, 1/2" or 3/4" ID flexible metal appliance connector is recommended to connect the cooktop to the gas supply line. The gas pressure regulator on the cooktop has 1/2" female threads.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The supply line must be equipped with an approved external gas
Wolf natural gas cooktops will function up to an altitude of 10,250' (3124 m) without any adjustment. LP gas cooktops will function up to 8,600' (2621 m) without adjustment. If the installation exceeds these elevations, contact your authorized Wolf dealer for a high altitude conversion kit.
Before connecting the gas supply, make sure all valves are in a closed position. Do not connect the gas supply to an appliance that shows any sign of damage.
