Gas Supply Line
■ Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result
in insufcient gas supply. With Propane gas, piping ortubing
size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane gas
suppliers determine the size and materials usedin the
system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of
Propane gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certied, 4-5ft
(122-152 cm) long, 5/8" (1.6 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D.,
exible metal appliance connector may be used for
connecting the cooktop to the gas supply line.
■ A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for
connection to the female pipe threads of the inlet
totheappliance pressure regulator.
■ Do not kink or damage the exible metal tubing when
moving the range.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn or move when
tightening ttings.
■ Must include a shut-off valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must
beused. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as
followsforproper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.6 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the
inletpressure.
Burner Input Rating — Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings need to be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above
sealevel (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"
(2.5cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure
shown on the model/serial/rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
(14" [35.6cm]WCP)
The range and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
(14" [35.6cm]WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
