Gas Cooktops are shipped by the factory to
operate on natural gas. They must be converted for use with propane.
Verify the type of gas being used at the installation site matches the
type of gas used by the appliance. If the location / job site requires
conversion from natural gas to propane (LP), order SNLPKITF. Field
conversion must be done by qualied service personnel only. Please
refer to the LP Conversion Instructions for further information.
SUPPLY PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS:
Natural Gas – 7 inches water column (14.9 Millibars) minimum.
LP (Propane Gas) – 11 inches water column (27.4 Millibars) minimum.
NOTE: The propane gas tank must be equipped with its own high
pressure regulator in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with
this unit.
ELECTRICAL AND GAS LOCATIONS
Plan the installation
so that the power
connection is accessible
