the gas line ahead of the appliance pressure regulator
and external to this appliance for the purpose of turning
on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
WARNING
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a
dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by
smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and
install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Make additional pipe connections as necessary ahead of
the shut-off valve to the gas supply source. Assure all
pipe joint connections are gas tight.

Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and
fittings in the gas connection between the supply line
shut-off valve and the cooktop. Include gas fittings and
joints in the cooktop if connections were disturbed
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a
leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off
valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with
an open flame.

pressures in excess of 1/2 pounds per square inch (3.5
kPa).
Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new
A.G.A. -- Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may
be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The
connector must be no more than 5 feet in length. Per
figure 5, use appropriate flare union adapter at each end
of the flexible connector. If a flexible connector is used
assure that both the appliance pressure regulator and
manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to other
permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the appliance
manifold) so as to be physically stationary. See
illustrations below.
When checking appliance regulator function, make certain
pressure of natural gas supply is between 6 and 14
inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas,
between 11 and 14 inches of water column.
