Installation
INSTALL RANGETOP
•Slide the rangetop into the opening. Make sure
the rangetop is evenly seated and supported.
•A hold-down strap with screws is provided to
secure the rangetop to the rear or side cabinet
walls.
•Remove the hold-down strap from the back
of the rangetop. Attach one end of the strap
to the back of the rangetop.
•Secure the other end of the strap as high as
possible to the cabinet back wall or adjacent
cabinet. Keep the strap as short as possible for
better security.
STEP 2
CONNECT RANGETOP TO GAS
WARNING
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
A manual shut-off valve must be installed where
it will be accessible.
Assure that gas is turned off at the shut-off
valve.
•Install the supplied pressure regulator onto the end
of the gas inlet.
•You can install a 90° elbow (not provided) onto the
gas inlet and route the gas connections to avoid
interference with drawers or other cabinetry
features. However, it is not recommended because
it will result in a drop in gas pressure.
•Make sure the regulator is installed in the right
direction. See arrow on the underside of the
regulator.
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect
to pressure regulator, an approved flexible metal
appliance connector may be used between the pipe
stub and the shut-off valve to the pressure regulator,
if local codes permit.
•Turn on gas and check for leaks:
–Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
connections in the system.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the rangetop and the
individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig. Isolate
the rangetop from the gas supply piping system
by closing the individual manual shut-off valve
to the rangetop during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
