Gas supply
requirements
Fire Hazard
Cooktop must be connected to a regulated
gas supply.
Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks
from gas connections.
New, CGA/A.G.A. design-approved, flexible
gas line should be used when codes
permit.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Am This installation instruction must
conform with local codes and ordinances. In the
absence of local codes, installations must
conform with CANI -- B149.1 or 2.

to gas
supply line
F.. 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 rigid pipe 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 4 inches (10.2 cm)
Supply pressure 7 to 14 inches (17.8 cm to
35.5 cm) maximum
_.. 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 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPa).
Testing at 112 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Electrical
requirements
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must
be grounded. This appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible
shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a
mating 3-prong grounding-type wall receptacle,
grounded in accordance with the Canadian
Electrical Code (CSA) -- latest edition and local
codes and ordinances• See Figure 1.
If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong
wall receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.

With cooktop in kitchen.
Remove shipping materials and tape
from cooktop. Remove pressure
regulator and hardware package from
side of carton. Write down the model and serial
numbers on the front of these instructions before
installing the cooktop. The numbers are on the
model/serial rating plate located on the bottom of
the cooktop burner box.
B.. Input ratings shown on the model/serial
rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet
(610m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610m),
ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each
1,000 feet (305m) above sea level• (For the USA
only.)
C.. This cooktop 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.
D.. Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"
(1.9cm) 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.
.....
E.. If local codes and ordinances permit,
CGA/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" (.95cm) male pipe thread is
needed for connection to pressure regular
female pipe threads.

Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the cooktop is properly
grounded.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-or 20-ampere, \_, -,, v
fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay \_t,\_. ___ '_'_
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 for proper operation. 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.
This appliance, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
current CSA standard C22.1. Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1.
3_n Remove the paper backing from a
small section of the foam sealing strip•
Place the strip 1/8" (0.3cm) from
cooktop edge on the underside of the
glass. Continue until foam strip completely
outlines the edge of the cooktop. Do Not use
additional sealant around outer edge of cooktop.
