Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the installation instructions provided with the cooktop. Checking for Manifold Gas Pressure . If it is necessary to check the manifold gas pressure, remove the burner cap, inner ring, outer burner head and burner base of the right front top burner and connect a manometer (water gauge) or another pressure test device to the burner orifice. Use a rubber hose with inside diameter of approximately ¼” and hold the end of the tube tight over the orifice. Turn the gas valve on. For a more accurate pres- sure check, have at least two other top burners burning. Be sure that the gas supply (inlet) pressure is at least one inch above the specified manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never be over 14” water column. When properly adjusted the manifold water column pressure is 10” for LP/Propane gas or 5” for Natural Gas.
