Warning!
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME WHEN
CHECKING FOR LEAKS!
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be-
fore placing the oven into operation, always check
for leaks with soapy water solution or other accep-

Check for gas leakage with soapy water solution or
other acceptable methods in all gas connections
installed between inlet gas pipe of the appliance,
gas regulator, till to the manual shut-off valve.
All gas connections must comply with national and
local codes. The gas supply line (service) must
be the same size or greater than the inlet line of
the appliance. This cooktop uses a 1/2” NPT inlet
(see drawing below for details of gas connection).
On all pipe joints use appropriate sealant resistant
to gas to joint the adapter to rangetop manifold
use only the blue gasket supplied.
If necessary, the appliance must be converted by
the dealer, by a factory-trained professional or by
a qualifi ed licensed plumber or gas service com-
pany.
Gas conversion is important for safe and eff ective
use of the appliance. It is the responsibility of the
dealer and the owner of the cooktop to perform
the appropriate gas conversion following the di-
rections of the manufacturer.
THE GAS CONVERSION PROCEDURE IS
DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL AND IN THE

(with suitable strain reliefs) in compliance with
ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69 standards.
