Gas supply
requirements
Observe
all governing
codes and
ordinances.
Explosion
Hazard
Use a new AGA approved
gas supply
line.
Install a shut-off
valve.
Securely
tighten
all gas connections.
If connected
to LP, have a qualified
person make sure gas pressure
does
not exceed 11" water column.
Examples
of a qualified
person include
licensed
heating
personnel,
authorized
gas
company
personnel,
and authorized
service
personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion,
or fire.
A
This i:stallation
must conform with local
codes and ordinances.
In the absence of local
codes, installations
must conform with
American National Standard, National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI 2223.1 -
latest edition
(See **, Panel A.)
B.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial
rating
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet
(610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet
(610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4%
for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level.
(For the USA only.)
C
This Fooktop is equipped for use with
NATURAL gas. The model/serial
rating plate,
located on the bottom of the cooktop, has
information on the type of gas that can be
used. If this information does not agree with
the type of gas available, see your KitchenAid
dealer or authorized
parts distributor.
If local codes and ordinances permit, A.G.A.
design-certified,
flexible metal tubing is
recommended for connecting this cooktop to
the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage
the flexible tubing when moving the cooktop.
A 3/8" (.95 cm) male pipe thread is needed
for connection to pressure regulator female
pipe threads.
E
shutoff
valve
The supply line shall be equipped with an
approved shutoff valve. This valve should be
located in the same room as the cooktop and
should be in a location that allows ease of
opening and closing. Do Not block access to
shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
G
If rigitpipe
is used as a gas supply
line, a combination
of pipe fittings must
be used to obtain an in-line connection to the
cooktop. All strains must be removed from
the supply and fuel lines so cooktop will be
level and in line.
H.
The regulator must be checked at a minimum
1 -inch (2.5 cm) water column above the set
pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator
should be as follows for operation:
NATURAL
GAS:
Set pressure
- 6 inches (15.2 cm) W.C.
Supply
pressure
-
7 to 14 inches
(17.8 cm to 35.5 cm)
maximum
W.C.
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure
-
10 inches
(25.4
cm) W.C.
Supply
pressure
-
11 inches
(27.9 cm) W.C.
1.
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing
above 112 psi (3.5kPa) (gauge) -
The cooktop and its individual
shutoff
valve
must be disconnected
from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures greater than
l/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Testing
at l/2 psi (3.5kPa) (gauge) or
lower -
The cooktop
must
be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than
l/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Electrical
requirements
Electrical
Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded
3-prong
outlet.
Do not remove ground
prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow
these instructions
can
result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
If codes permit and a separate
ground
wire is used, it is recommended
that a
qualified
electrician
determine
that the
ground
path is adequate.
Check with a qualified
electrician
if you
are not sure whether
the cooktop
is
properly
grounded.
Do Not ground
to a gas pipe.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere for
KGCS1005 models (20-ampere for
KGCG2605 models), fused electrical supply
is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended.
It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within
wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and
polarity are necessary.
In addition to
checking that the outlet provides 120-volt
power and is correctly grounded, the outlet
must be checked by a qualified electrician to
see if it is wired with correct polarity.
A wiring diagram is provided on the back
cover of Installation
Instructions.
The wiring diagram is also located on the
underside of the cooktop control panel.
Recommended
ground
method
For your personal
safety, this appliance
must be grounded.
This appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong ground plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
ground-type
outlet, grounded in accordance
with National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA
70 -
latest edition (see', Panel A) and local
codes and ordinances.
See Figure 1. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility
and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded,
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

D.
Provide a gas supply line of 314" (1.9 cm) rigid
pipe to the cooktop location. A smaller size
pipe on long runs may result in insufficient
gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds,
made for
use with NATURAL and L.P. gas, must be
used.
