INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the left front underside of
the burner base.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on your model ordered. See the “Tools
and Parts” section for a complete list of parts supplied with your
cooktop.
The pressure regulator and exible stainless steel gas supply
line connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after
the cooktop is installed in the cutout. See the “Make Gas
Connection” section.
1. Decide on the nal location for the cooktop.
2. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface.
3. Remove foam strip from packing containing literature.
Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive‑
side down along the left and right sides of the cooktop trim.
NOTE: The foam strip helps the cooktop sit at on uneven
counters and avoids damage to the countertop surface.
4. Using two or more people, turn cooktop right side up.
Make Gas Connection
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1. Using two or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or
back.
2. Connect the exible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe ttings must be used to connect
the cooktop to the existing gas line. The following shows
a typical connection. Your connection may be different,
according to the supply line type, size, and location.
3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the cooktop burner base and in a
position where you can reach the regulator cap.
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 on the pipe
when tightening ttings.
Use only pipe‑joint compound made for use with Natural and
Propane gas. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.
