Connecting Appliance To Gas Supply
A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR GAS

1. IF NO OTHER APPLIANCE IS TO BE INSTALLED
BELOW THIS COOKTOP
Join the appliance pressure regulator supplied with this
appliance to the entrance threads of the Gas Manifold.
The appliance regulator is marked with a directional
arrow indicating correct direction of gas flow. Ensure
the appliance regulator is installed with the arrow
pointing toward the gas manifold entrance. Tighten the
appliance regulator to 20 to 30 ft-lbs of torque.
I M P O R T A N T
Never tighten to more than 35 ft-lbs of torque. Always
use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the
action of LP gas.
Install the appliance in its counter cutout.
Make the gas connection to the inlet of the appliance
pressure regulator with 1/2" NPT male pipe threads.
Install a manual shut-off valve in an accessible location in
the gas line ahead of the appliance pressure regulator
and external to this appliance for the purpose of turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
Make additional pipe connections as necessary ahead of
the shut-off valve to the gas supply source. Assure all
pipe joint connections are gas tight.
I M P O R T A N T
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and
fittings in the gas connection between the supply line
shut-off valve and the cooktop. Include gas fittings and
joints in the cooktop if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a
leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off
valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with
an open flame.
