GAS CONNECTIONS (All Units)

NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS:

Be sure this document is included in all gas cooktop appliances sold to consumers in

the State of Massachusetts.

NOTICE: Massachusetts law requires the following:

• Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter.

• Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36” maximum length)

flexible gas connector and

• A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.

Have the dealer where you purchase your new cooktop install it or have them

recommend a qualified installer. Installation must conform with local codes. In the

absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2

Installation Codes in Canada.

The cooktop should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe or

a certified flexible type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved

sealing compound which is resistant to liquefied petroleum gases on all threaded

connections.

Important: Do not apply pressure directly to the cooktop manifold pipe when

tightening supply connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the

pressure regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench

during the tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted and

split and cause a dangerous leak.

The installation of cooktops designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation

must conform with the Manufactured Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part

3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,

Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A. Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in

Canada or, when such standards are not applicable, with local codes.

Connecting gas to cooktop This cooktop is designed to operate at a pressure of 4” of water column on natural gas or 10” of water column on propane gas (LPG). Make sure you are supplying your cooktop with the type of gas for which it is designed. It’s shipped for use with LPG.

U N I Q U E ! 2 4 C T / 3 0 C T / 3 6 C T ! Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooktop and leave it off until the new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilots on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on. Because hard piping restricts movement of the cooktop, the use of a CSA certified flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hardpiped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new cooktop.
