Manual and User Guide

b) Any conversion required must be performed a qualified licensed gas service company. Please

provide the service person with this manual before work is started on the cooktops. (Gas conversions are

the responsibility of the dealer or end user.)

c) This cooktops can be used with NATURAL or LP/PROPANE gas. It is shipped from the factory

adjusted for use with LPG gas.

d) Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer. NATURAL gas requires 5,0"W.C.P. and

LP/PROPANE requires 10,0" W.C.P. (see Figure 5.2-X).

Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1" W.C.P. higher than the manifold

pressure in order to check the regulator.

The regulator used on this cooktops can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2 PSI

(14.0" W,C.P). If the line pressure is in excess of that amount. a step-down regulator will be required.

e) The appliance has individual shut-off valve, and pressure regulator must be disconnected

from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in

excess of 1/2 PS (3.5 kPa).

3. Flexible Connections:

If local codes permit, CSA design-certified, flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for

connecting this cooktops to the gas supply line. Do not kink or damage the flexible connector when moving

the cooktops. The pressure regulator has 3/8" NPT female pipe threads. You will need to determine the

fittings required, depending on the size of your gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shutoff valve.

4. Rigid Pipe Connections:

If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply line, a combination of pipe fittings must be used to obtain an in-line

connection to the cooktops. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so cooktops will be

level and in line.

! Use joint compounds and gaskets that are resistant to action of natural or propane gas on all male

pipe threads.

! Do not over tighten gas fitting when attaching to pressure regulator. Over tightening may crack

regulator.

5. Leak Testing:

IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted as follows:

! After final gas connection is made. turn on manual gas valve and test all connectors in gas supply

piping and appliance for gas leaks with a soapy water solution. During this test all appliance gas

valves have to be closed.

! In order to avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use a lighted match. If a leak is

present tighten joint or unscrew apply more joint compound, tighten again and retest connection for

leak.
