LP Conversion Instructions
• With the installation of this conversion kit,
the cooktop should operate on LP gas at 10
″
of water column pressure.
• The pressure regulator must be connected in series
with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain
in series with the supply line. For proper operation,
the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator must
be no more than 14
″
water column pressure for
LP gas.
• When checking the regulator, the inlet pressure
must be at least 1
″
greater than the regulator output
setting. If the regulator is set for 10
″
of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11.

IMPORTANT –
Disconnect the cooktop 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 cooktop from
the gas supply piping system by closing the individual
manual shut-off valve to the cooktop during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or greater than 1/2 psig.
GAS SUPPLY
