This cooktop is designed to operate at a pressure of 5” of water column with natural gas or 10” of water column with LP, propane or butane gas.
Make sure you are supplying your cooktop with the type of gas for which it is designed.
This cooktop is convertible for use with natural or propane gas. When using this cooktop with LP gas, the conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the cooktop using that gas.
For correct operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator should be between 5” and 13” of water column.
For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10” and 13” of water column.
When checking for correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” more than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above.
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the cooktop manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used.
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the cooktop to the gas supply line must have an I.D. of 5/8” and must be a maximum of 3 feet in length for easy installation. In Canada, flexible connectors should be single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.
