17. INSTALL THE PRESSURE REGULATOR
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD: do not
exceed 25 ft-lbs. of torque when making gas
line connections. Overtightening may crack the
pressure regulator resulting in fire or explosion
hazard.
• You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied
with this range.
• Shut off the main gas supply valve before
disconnecting the old cooktop and leave it off until

to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you
turn the gas back on.
• For all connections, use a pipe sealant approved by
ORFDOFRGHVDQGUHVLVWDQWWRWKHDFWLYLW\RI/3JDV
• Install the pressure regulator in the gas line as close
to the cooktop inlet as possible to allow clearance for
ventilation ducting.
• Make sure the arrow on the body of the regulator
is pointing straight up and toward the cooktop. Any
other position will affect the output pressure of the
regulator. This arrow indicates correct flow of gas.
• Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily
accessible location.
NOTE: Instead of using solid piping to connect

appliance connector may be used between the
shut-off valve and the pressure regulator, if local
codes permit.
• If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully
align the pipe. The cooktop cannot be moved after
the connection is made.
• Appropriate flare nuts and adapters are required at

area of the leak.
5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten
the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.
If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and
