  Fire Hazard: Do not use a 

flame to check for gas leaks.

  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.

Gas Pressure Regulator

You must use the gas pressure regulator supplied 

with this cooker. For proper operations the inlet 

pressure to the regulator should be as follows:

Natural Gas:

Minimum pressure: 

6”

 of Water Column

Maximum pressure: 

13”

 of Water Column

LP Gas:

Minimum pressure: 

11”

 of Water Column

Maximum pressure: 

13”

 of Water Column

If you are not sure about the inlet pressure 

contact local gas supplier.

Shut off the main gas supply valve before 

disconnecting the old cooker and leave it off 

until the new hook-up has been completed. 

Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas 

appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of 

the cooker, the use of a CSA International-

certified flexible metal appliance connector is 

recommended unless local codes require a hard-

piped connection. 
If the hard piping method is used, you must 

carefully align the pipe; the cooker cannot be 

moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, 

or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all 

male (external) pipe threads. 

A.  Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas line 

in an easily accessed location outside of the 

cooker. Make sure everyone operating the 

cooker knows where and how to shut off the 

gas supply to the cooker.

B.  

Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2” 

NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a 

backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid 

damage.

C.  

Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapter to 

the NPT internal thread of the manual shut-off 

valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve 

to keep it from turning.

D.  Connect flexible metal appliance connector 

to the adapter on the cooker. Position cooker to 

permit connection at the shut-off valve.

E.  When all connections have been made, make 

sure all cooker controls are in the off position 

and turn on the main gas supply valve. 

Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and 

connections to check for leaks in the system.

When using pressures greater than 1/2 psig 

to pressure test the gas supply system of the 

residence, disconnect the cooker and individual 

shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When 

using pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressure 

test the gas supply system, simply isolate the 

cooker from the gas supply system by closing the 

individual shut-off valve.
When checking for proper operation of the 

regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1” 

greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as 

given on rating label of product.
