Tools needed for

installation:

Gas supply

requirements

Observe all governing codes and

ordinances.

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, CGAIA.G.A.

design-approved,

flexible

gas line should

be used when

codes permit.

Failure to follow these instructions

could

result in a fire, explosion

or personal

injury.

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.

Input ratings shown on the serial/ratina

plate are to; elevations

up to 2,000 feet (610m).-

For elevations above 2,000 feet (61 Om), ratings

are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet

(305m) above sea level. (For the USA only.)

This cooktop is equipped for use with

NATURAL gas. 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.

Provide a gas supply line of 314"

(1.9cm) rigid pipe to the &&top

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.

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.

shutoff valve

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.

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.

The regulator must be checked at a

minimum 1 -inch (2.5 cm) water column above

the set pressure. The inlet pressure to the

regular 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 l/2 psi (3.5

kPa).

Testing

at l/2 psi (3.5kPa) (gauge) or lower

The cook-top 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 isi (3.5 kPa).

is required

on this

product.

Check with a qualified

A 120~volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-or 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

for proper operation.

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

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
