Install Cooktop - KitchenAid KCGD500GSS Owner's Manual

Install Cooktop

Install the pressure regulator to cooktop before installing the
cooktop into the cabinet. See the "Make Gas Connection" section.
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.
1. Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward
the bottom of the cooktop base and in a position where you
can reach the regulator access cap.
A. Access cap
B. Rear of cooktop
C. Gas pressure regulator
D. Up arrow. Regulator must be installed with arrow
pointing up to cooktop bottom.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do
not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making
the connections 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
Propane gas.
®
Do not use TEFLON tape. You will need to determine the
fittings required depending on your installation.
2. Attach the 2 hold-down brackets to the burner box.
3. Using two or more people, lift the cooktop from packaging
foam and install the cooktop into the countertop cutout by
tilting 1 end of the cooktop into the cutout, then lowering the
other end 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.
4. Rotate motor to align with duct work and attach ducting.
5. Fully tighten motor and, using a 1/4" (6.4 mm) nut driver,
reattach motor access cover with two screws.
IMPORTANT: Verify that the motor access cover is fully
tightened and back on the plenum.
6. Select bracket mounting holes that will allow the bracket to
extend far enough out from the cooktop for the installation of
#10-16 x 3" (7.62 cm) clamping screws.
A. Cooktop
B. Cooktop base
C. Attachment screw
D. Clamping bracket (extends far enough beyond
cooktop base to allow installation of clamping screws)
E. #10-16 x 3" (7.62 cm) clamping screw (to be installed
in "Attach Cooktop to Countertop")
F. Countertop
G. Foam seal
7. Attach brackets to cooktop base bottom with bracket
attachment screws using the bracket mounting holes selected
in Step 6. Securely tighten screws.
8. Install grease filter.
A. Plenum
B. Grease filter
NOTES:
� The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face
the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest
against the right side of the vent opening.
� The bottom of the filter should rest against the left side of
the vent chamber at the bottom.
� If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation
effectiveness will be reduced.
9. Install vent grille.
