Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE COOKTOP
17-1PROVIDE ADEQUATE GAS
SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on
natural gas at 4" of water column pressure.
It is shipped from the factory set for natural
gas. The convertible pressure regulator
supplied with the unit must be connected in
series with the manifold of the cooktop and
must remain in series with the supply line
regardless of whether natural or L.P. gas is
being used. FOR PROPER OPERATION,
THE MAXIMUM INLET PRESSURE TO THE
REGULATOR MUST BE NO MORE THAN
14" OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE. For
checking the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1" (or 3.4 KPA) greater than
the regulator output setting. If the regulator is
set for 4" of water column pressure, the inlet
pressure must be at least 5". If the regulator
is set for 10", the inlet pressure must be at
least 11". The gas supply line to the cooktop
should be 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.
