Connecting the Gas Line
WARNING
• First, ensure the gas supply meets specifications (inside cover).
• Install the included gas regulator before you install/use the cooktop.
• Ensure the regulator arrow points toward the cooktop.
• Do not overtighten the gas connections/fittings.
• Do not use Teflon tape or plumber’s putty on flexible gas-line con
-
nections.
• Before use, test the gas lines for leaks as instructed. (Do not use a
flame to check for leaks.)
• The gas-supply pressure to the regulator must never exceed ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).
• Disconnect he cooktop and shut-off valve from the gas supply for
pressure testing over ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
• The shut-off valve to the cooktop must be closed to isolate the
cooktop from the gas supply during gas-supply piping-system pres
-
sure testing ≤ psi (3.5 kPa).
• For liquid propane installations, the LP tank must have its own high-
pressure regulator besides the Dacor-supplied regulator.
1. Attach the gas-pressure regulator (included) to the gas inlet
on the chassis bottom (see graphic at left).
NOTE
• In tight spaces, you can install the regulator anywhere between the
cooktop and gas-supply/shut-off valve.
• For best results, attach the regulator as close as possible to the
cooktop (to minimize gas-pressure loss).
2. Connect the regulator to the gas-supply/shut-off valve with a
minimum 1/2” flexible gas line (not included).
3. Check for gas leaks:
a. Turn all cooktop control valves OFF.
b. With a soap-and-water solution or gas-leak detector,
check all lines and connections for gas leaks. (Ensure the
gas-supply/shut-off valve is ON.)
c. Turn the gas supply/shut-off valve OFF.

Installing the Cooktop
WARNING
• Before proceeding, verify that the power supply meets the specifi-
cations on Page 3.
• To avoid damaging the gas-pressure regulator, install it only after
the cooktop is mounted in its final position.
IMPORTANT
• Do not overtighten the hold-down bracket bolts, as doing so may
lead the dual gas burners to malfunction.
• Do not seal the cooktop to the countertop with hardening compound
or caulk. The cooktop must be removable for servicing. The customer
is financially responsible for removal of sealant to service the unit.
1. (If a downdraft will be used) Install the downdraft according
to the downdraft installation instructions.
2. Lower the cooktop through the cutout and center it.
3. With the two provided hold-down brackets, secure the
cooktop to the countertop as shown.
