Conversion Instructions; Gas Supply - GE pgp989 Instructions Manual

GAS SUPPLY

• With the installation of this conversion kit, the cooktop
should operate on either natural gas at 4" of water
column or 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 10" water column pressure for natural gas
and 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 4" of water column
pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5". If the
regulator is set for 10" of water column pressure, the
inlet pressure must be at least 11".
IMPORTANT –
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.
TURN OFF GAS AND
ELECTRIC SUPPLY
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE
SHUT-OFF VALVE. DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
FROM THE COOKTOP.
