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.
