7Make Gas ConnectionTo Assemble Pressure Regulator:1. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressureregulator using a ¹⁄2" male pipe thread adapter.A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect thecooktop to the existing gas line. Shown in the followingillustration is a typical connection. Your connection may bedifferent, according to the supply line type, size and location.NOTE: When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven,install a 90º elbow - ¹⁄2" female to ¹⁄2" male between thecooktop manifold pipe and the pressure regulator. Theregulator must be set with the arrow pointing toward thecooktop. Apply pipe joint compound for use with LP gas tothe end of the cooktop manifold pipe and the male end ofthe 90° elbow.2. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing uptoward the bottom of the burner box and in a position whereyou can reach the regulator.A. Gas pressure regulatorB.

UL listed or CSA approved flexiblestainless steel gas supply lineIMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Donot make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Makingthe connections too tight may crack the regulator and causea gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe whentightening fittings.Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural andLP gas.Do not use TEFLON® tape. You will need to determine the fittingsrequired depending on your installation.Typical flexible connection1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to thelarger thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see Dand F in the following illustration).2.
