INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING TO GAS COOKTOP (continued)

• For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be

between 4” and 5” of the water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between

10” and 12” of the water column.

• Shut off the main gas supply valve before removing the old cooking appliance (if

applicable) 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 the movement of the cooktop, the use of a CSA-certified

flexible metal appliance connector is recommended unless local codes require a hard-

piped connection. Never reuse an old connector when installing a new cooktop. If the hard

piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe.

B = 1.89 in.

D = 7.91 in.

• When checking for the correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at

least 1” more than the operating manifold pressure as given above.

• The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the cooktop manifold must remain in the

supply line regardless of Natural (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP) gas is being used.

• A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the cooktop to the gas supply

should be 3 feet/91.4 cm max. in length for easy installation. In Canada, flexible connectors

should be single-wall metal connectors less than 6 feet / 182.9 cm in length.

• For NG: The gas supply is connected to the regulator

loose. The inlet connection has a 1/2" B.S.P. male

thread. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE ELBOW ON THE

APPLIANCE BE HELD FIRMLY WITH A SPANNER

WHEN CONNECTING THE SUPPLY. DO NOT OVER

TIGHTEN. The regulated pressure for NG is 4” W.C.

(See diagram).

• For LPG: The gas supply is connected to the regulator

loose. The inlet connection has a 1/ 2" B.S.P. male

thread. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE ELBOW ON THE

APPLIANCE BE HELD FIRMLY WITH A SPANNER WHEN

CONNECTING THE SUPPLY. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

The regulated pressure For LPG is 10” w.c. (See

diagram).
