Install Optional Backguard
36" (91.4 cm) and 48" (121.9 cm) models may require a
backguard. See “Cabinet Dimensions” in the “Location
Requirements” section for installation requirements. See the
“Tools and Parts” section for information on ordering.
Remove island trim and attach backguard using 6 screws, insert
3 from the front and 3 from the back (9" [22.9 cm] backguard
shown).
Make Gas Connection
To Assemble Pressure Regulator:
1. Using 2 or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or
back.
2. Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure
regulator using a ¹⁄₂" male pipe thread adapter.
A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the
cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown following is a typical
connection. Your connection may be different, according to
the supply line type, size and location.
3. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up
toward the bottom of the cooktop burner base and in a
position where you can reach the regulator cap.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe
when tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP gas. Do not use TEFLON
®
tape.
You will need to determine the fittings required depending on
your installation.
4. Place cooktop into the countertop cutout.
NOTE: Check that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to
the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the
countertop.
Typical flexible connection
1. Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the
smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see B
and F in the following illustration).
2. Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and the
other adapter to the gas shutoff valve. Tighten both adapters.
3. Use a ¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that
connector is not kinked.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
