Make Gas Connection - Jenn-Air JGC3536GS Instructions D'utilisation

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a 1/2" (13 mm) male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown in the following
illustration is a typical connection. Your connection may
be different, according to the supply line type, size, and
location.
NOTE: When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven,
install a 90º elbow—1/2" (13 mm) female to 1/2" (13 mm)
male—between the cooktop manifold pipe and the pressure
regulator. The regulator must be set with the arrow pointing
toward the cooktop. Apply pipe joint compound for use with
propane gas to the end of the cooktop manifold pipe and the
male end of the 90° elbow.
2. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the burner box and in a position
where you can reach the regulator.

B. Up arrow—regulator must be installed
with arrow pointing up at cooktop bottom.
C. Adapter (must have 1/2" [13 mm] male pipe thread)
D. UL Listed or CSA Approved flexible
stainless steel gas supply line
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 fittings.
