Tools needed for
Gas supply
requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Fire Hazard
l
Cooktop
must be connected
to a regulated
gas supply.
l
Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks
from gas connections.
l
New, A.G.A. design-certified,
flexible
gas line
should
be used when codes permit.
Failure to follow these instructions
could
result in a fire, explosion
or personal
injury.
A
w This installation instruction 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.**

Input ratings shown on the seriaVrating
plate are for elevations
up to 2,000 feet. For
elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
I'
b
w This cooktop is equipped for use with
NATURAL gas. It is design-certified
by A.G.A. for
Natural and L.P. gases with appropriate
conversion.
The 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
n
Provide a gas supply line of 314"
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.

t
n
If local codes and ordinances permit,
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" male pipe
thread is needed for connection to pressure regular
female pipe threads.
shutoff valve
Fw
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
n
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
w The reaulator must be checked at a
minimum 1 -inch-water column above the set
pressure. The inlet pressure to the regular should be
as follows for operation:
NATURAL
GAS:
Set pressure
4 inches
Maximum
inlet pressure
14 inches
I
Line Pressure Testing:
Teiting
above l/2 psi (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 psig (3.5kPA).
Testing
at l/2 psi (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 psig (3.5kPA).
Electrical
requirements
Electrical
Shock Hazard
l
Electrical
ground
is required
on this
appliance.
l
If cold water pipe is interrupted
by plastic,
non-metallic
gaskets
or other insulating
materials,
Do Not use for grounding.
l
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l
Do Not modify the power supply
cord plug.
If plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed
by a qualified
electrician.
l
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding
circuit.
A fuse in the neutral or
grounding
circuit
could result in an
electrical
shock
l
Do Not use an extension
cord with this
appliance.
l
Check with a qualified
electrician
if you are
in doubt as to whether
the appliance
is
properly
grounded.
Failure to follow thewse
instructions
could
result in serious
injury ot death.
If codes permit and a separate
grounding
wire is
used, it is recommended
that a qualified
electrician
determine
that the grounding
path is
adequate.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15or 20-ampere, 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 is
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.
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 National Electrical Code
ANSVNFPA 70 -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
