connection necessary is from the service
supply, through the shut-off valve (not
supplied), to this intake pipe (not
supplied) to the regulator supplied, but
not connected through the cooktop.
In Massachusetts: This appliance must be
installed with a 36” (3-foot) long flexible gas
connector.
LP/Propane Conversion
The VGSU and DGSU models are field
convertible to LP/Propane gas or natural
gas. The orifice spuds and regulator must be
physically changed. For the VGSU/DGSU
models, order conversion kit NKPDC to
convert to natural and LPKPDC to convert to
LP/Propane. Gas conversions should be
completed by a qualified technician. Refer to
instructions in conversion kit for gas
conversions.

Electrical & Gas Requirements
Initial Ignition of Burners
All cooktops are tested before leaving the

adjusted by a qualified technician. If it is not,
contact your dealer for the name of their
authorized service agency in your area.
Gas conversions and initial installation
adjustments are not the responsibility of the
