Flexible metal appliance connector:• If local codes permit, use a 1/2"or %" I.D. flexible stainlesssteel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connectthe cooktop to the rigid gas supply line.• A 1/2"male pipe thread is needed for connection to thefemale pipe threads of the inlet to the cooktop pressureregulator.• Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing whenmoving the cooktop.Rigid pipe connection:The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipefittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. Therigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. Allstrains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines socooktop will be level and in line.Must include a shutoff valve:The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoffvalve. This valve should be located in the same room butexternal to the cooktop. It should be in a location that allowsease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoffvalve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to thecooktop.BA. Gas supply lineB. Shutoff valve "open" positionC. To cooktopGas Pressure RegulatorThe gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must beused. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows forproper operation:Natural Gas:Minimum pressure: 5" (12.7 cm) WCPMaximum pressure: 7" to 14" (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) WCPLP Gas:Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCPMaximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCPContact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inletpressure.Burner Input RequirementsInput ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are forelevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at arate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (notapplicable for Canada).Gas Supply Pressure TestingLine pressure testing above 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP)The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must bedisconnected from the gas supply piping system during anypressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of1/2psi (3.5 kPa).Line pressure testing at 1/2psi gauge (14" WCP) or lowerThe cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping systemby closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressuretesting of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal toor less than 1/2psi (3.5 kPa).INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONSExcessive Weight HazardUse two or more people to move and install cooktop.Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into orsevering existing wiring during installation.On Glass Cooktop models only:1. Using 2 or more people, place the cooktop upside down on acovered surface.2. Remove foam strip from literature package. Remove backingfrom foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down aroundbottom of cooktop, flush with edge.NOTE: The foam strip protects the underside of the cooktopglass from debris and helps the cooktop sit flat on unevencounters.A.
