Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION--GAS CONNECTIONS
PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas
at 4" of water column manifold pressure and 7" of
water column (W.C.) supply pressure. It is shipped
from the factory set for natural gas. The convertible
pressure regulator supplied with the unit must
be connected in series with the manifold of the
cooktop and must remain in series with the supply
line regardless of whether natural or L.P. gas is
being used.
FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM INLET
PRESSURETO THE REGULATOR MUST BE NO MORE
THAN 14" OF WATER COLUMN PRESSURE.For
checking the regulator, the inlet pressure must
be at least 1" W.C.. (or 3.4 KPA) greater than the
regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 4"
W.C. of water column pressure, the inlet pressure
must be at least 5" W.C. If the regulator is set for
10" W.C., the inlet pressure must be at least 11"
W.C.. The gas supply line to the cooktop should be
1/2" or 3/4" pipe.
