Gas Downdraft Cooktop
GAS REQUIREMENTS
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If converting to LP
gas, see the “LP Gas Conversion” instructions provided in the package
containing literature. The model/serial/rating plate located on bottom of
the cooktop has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the
types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with
the local gas supplier.
LP Gas Conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas
specified on the model/serial/rating plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the “Gas Conversion”
instructions provided in the package containing literature.
Gas Supply Line
■ Provide a gas supply line of
3
⁄
4
" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the cooktop
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient
gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape. With LP gas, piping
or tubing size should be
1
⁄
2
" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
■ A
1
⁄
2
" male pipe thread is needed for connection to the female pipe
threads of the inlet to the cooktop pressure regulator.
■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when moving the
cooktop.
■ Must include a shut-off valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shut-off valve. This
valve should be located in the same room. It must be accessible
without removing the cooktop, and it should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shut-off
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
