Installation - KitchenAid 8285418 Installation Instructions Manual

Installation

1.
Remove the top wood sheet from
over the top of the cooktop.
2.
Remove the shipping brackets and
discard.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move
and install cooktop.
Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
3.
Carefully lift the cooktop up and set
aside. Write down the model and serial
numbers before installing the cooktop.
Both numbers are on the model/serial
number plate located on left front
underside of the burner box.
4.
Unpack the burner grates,
Instawok, burner caps, regulator and
island trim. Items are either packaged
under the cooktop or on the cooktop.
5.
The pressure regulator and flexible,
stainless steel gas supply line connector
can be assembled to the cooktop now or
after the cooktop is installed in the cutout.
To assemble now, stand the cooktop on
its side or back surface and complete this
part of the pressure regulator/gas line
connector assembly.
To connect the flexible, stainless steel
connector to the pressure regulator
requires a 1/2" nipple.
Install the pressure regulator with the
arrow pointing up toward the bottom of
the burner box and in a position where
you can reach the regulator cap.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be
wrench-tightened. Do not make
connections to the gas regulator too tight.
Making the connection too tight may
crack the regulator and cause a gas leak.
Do not allow the regulator to turn on the
pipe when tightening fittings.
Use only pipe-joint compound made for
use with Natural and L.P. gas. Do not use
teflon tape. You will need to determine the
fittings required depending on your
installation.
