3. Use a ¹⁵⁄₁₆" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to 
attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that 
connector is not kinked.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do 
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making 
the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause 
a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn when tightening 
fittings.   
4. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing in the 
direction toward the bottom of the cooktop base and in a 
position where you can reach the regulator access cap.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP 
gas. 
Do not use TEFLON
®
 tape. You will need to determine the fittings 
required depending on your installation.
Complete Connection
1. Open the manual shutoff valve in the gas supply line. The 
valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.
2. Test all connections by brushing on an approved 
noncorrosive leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a 
leak. Correct any leak found.
3. Remove surface burner caps, burner base and grates from 
parts package. Align notches in burner caps with pins in 
burner base. 
Align orifice holder in burner base with igniter electrode. 
Burner caps should be level when properly positioned. If 
burner caps are not properly positioned, surface burners will 
not light. Place burner grates over burners and caps.
