Flexible metal appliance connector:
■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,
4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long,
⁵⁄₈" (1.6 cm) or
¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
line.
■ A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance
pressure regulator.
■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when
moving the cooktop.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so
cooktop will be level and in line.
■ Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but
external to the cooktop enclosure or cabinet. It should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not
block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the cooktop.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this cooktop must be
used. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
Natural Gas:
Minimum pressure: 6" (15.2 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
LP Gas:
Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet
pressure.
Burner Input Rating - Altitude
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings need to be
reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea
level (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown
on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)
The cooktop and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
½ psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install Cooktop
Write down the model and serial numbers before installing the
cooktop. Both numbers are located on the left front underside of
the cooktop base.
Unpack the parts supplied with your cooktop. The parts shipped
with the cooktop depend on your model ordered. See “Tools and
Parts” section for a complete list parts supplied with your
cooktop.
The pressure regulator and flexible stainless steel gas supply line
connector can be assembled to the cooktop now or after the
cooktop is installed in the cutout. See “Make Gas Connection”
section.
1. Decide on the final location for the cooktop.
2. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down
on a covered surface.
3. Remove foam strip from literature packing. Remove backing
from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive-side down along
the left and right sides of the cooktop trim.
NOTE: The foam strip helps the cooktop sit flat on uneven
counters and avoids damage to the countertop surface.
4. Using 2 or more people, turn cooktop right side up.

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
