Installation; Prepare Cooktop For Installation; Install Cooktop - Whirlpool SCS3017 Owner's Manual

Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 feet (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at
a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (304.8 m) above sea level (not
applicable for Canada).
For elevations above 6,560 feet (1999.5 m) a high altitude kit is
needed to avoid any reduced power output. See separate
Propane gas conversion instructions sheet.
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least
1" (2.5 cm) (249 Pa) water column pressure above the manifold
pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
14" (35.5 cm) WCP
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 in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge
14" (35.5 cm) WCP or lower
The cooktop must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION

Prepare Cooktop for Installation

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Decide on the final location for the cooktop. Avoid drilling into or
severing existing wiring during installation.
On Glass Cooktop models only:
1. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down on
a covered surface.
2. Remove foam strip from the package containing literature.
Remove backing from foam strip. Apply foam strip adhesive
side down around bottom of cooktop, flush with edge.
NOTE: The foam strip keeps debris away from the underside
of the cooktop and helps the cooktop to sit flat on uneven
counters.
A. Cooktop base
B. Foam strip
C. Cooktop

Install Cooktop

Style 1: Cooktop over undercounter built-in oven
IMPORTANT: Clamping brackets should not be used.
1. Using two or more people, place cooktop right side up into the
cutout.
NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel
to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed,
lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the
countertop.
Style 2: Cooktop over cabinets
1. Determine whether your cabinet construction provides
clearance for installing clamping brackets at cooktop base
ends. This is the recommended location. Clamping brackets
can be installed on the front and back of cooktop base bottom,
if necessary.
A. Attachment screw holes for optional front and
back location
B. Clamping bracket (end locations
recommended)
C. Cooktop base bottom
D. Attachment screw
E. Attachment screw location (recommended)
2. The clamping brackets can be installed before or after the
cooktop is placed into the cutout. Complete the following steps
for the option you choose.
Installing Brackets Before Placing Cooktop in
Cutout
1. Using two or more people, place the cooktop upside down on
a covered surface.
2. Remove the attachment screws for the selected bracket
locations from the bottom of the cooktop base.
3. Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to
extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of
2 / " (6.4 cm) clamping screws. See the "Attach Cooktop to
1
2
Countertop" section for illustration of clamping screw
installation.
A. Clamping bracket
B. Recommended attachment screw location
C. Clamping screw location
D. Edge of cooktop base bottom
