The appliance regulator is marked with a directional
arrow indicating correct direction of gas flow. Ensure
the appliance regulator is installed with the arrow
pointing toward the gas manifold entrance. Tighten the
appliance regulator to 20 to 30 ft-lbs of torque.

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all jointsand
fittings in the gas connection between the supply line
shut-off valve and the cooktop. Include gas fittings and
joints in the cooktop if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a
