All gas connections must be made according to national and local codes. This gas
supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the
appliance. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistant to te action of LP/Propane
gas.
The cooktop is equipped for the use with NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by
CSA International for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion.
The model/serial rating plate, located on the underside of the burner box, has
information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree
with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. See page 16 for
L.P. gas conversion instructions.

Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA or UL approved
gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connec-
tions.
If connected to LP, have a quali-
fied person make sure gas pres-
sure does not exceed 14" water
column.
Examples of a qualified person
include licensed heating per-
sonnel, authorized gas compa-
ny personnel, and authorized
service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line
external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance (In Massachusetts such shutoff devices should be approved by the Board
of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters). This valve should be located in the
same room as the and should be in a location that allows ease of opening
and closing (in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an
emergency).
Do not block access to the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off
gas to the appliance.
