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 and National Electrical Code regulations.

EXPLOSION HAZARD —

Use a new CSA approved gas supply line and install a gas shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

For LP gas, have a qualified technician make sure the gas pressure does not exceed 14" (34.9 mb) WC (water column).

Failure to do so can result in explosion, fire or death.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The gas cooktop must be connected to a regulated gas supply.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 – latest edition or CANI – B149.1 or 2.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The natural gas cooktop is rated for elevations up to 8,000' (2438 m) without adjustment. Install a high altitude kit for elevations from 8,000' (2438 m) to 10,000' (3084 m). The LP gas cooktop is rated for 10,000' (3084 m).

The cooktop is equipped for use with natural or LP gas. It is design certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for natural or LP gases. The rating plate, located on the under- side of the burner box, has information on the type of gas that should be used. If this infor- mation does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on long runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe joint compounds, suitable for use with LP gas should be used. For LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. LP gas suppli- ers usually determine the size and materials used on the system.

If local codes permit, a new CSA design- certified, 4–5' (1.2–1.5 m) long, 1/2" or 3/4" ID, flexible metal appliance connector is recom- mended for connecting this cooktop to the gas supply line. Do not kink or damage the flexible connector when moving the cooktop. The pressure regulator has 1/2" female pipe threads. You will need to determine the fittings required, depending on the size of your gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shut- off valve.

If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. All strains must be removed from the supply and gas lines so the cooktop will be level and in line.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The supply line must be equipped with an approved external gas shut-off valve located near the cooktop in an accessible location. Do not block access to the shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration below.

The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation and checking the regu- lator setting:

Natural Gas: Set pressure 5" (12.5 mb) WC, supply pressure 7–14" (17.5–34.9 mb) max.

LP Gas: Set pressure 10" (25 mb) WC, supply pressure 11–14" (27.4–34.9 mb) WC.
