Type of Gas
Natural Gas:

This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or,
after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.

This cooktop is factory-set for use with Natural gas. To convert to LP gas, see
the “LP Gas Conversion” instructions provided in the package containing
literature. The model/ serial rating plate located on the underside of the cooktop
base has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas
listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

LP Gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas specified on the

model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the
serving gas supplier. See the Gas Conversion instructions provided in the
package containing literature.

Electrical:

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required. A time­delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this cooktop be provided.

Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper
grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet provides 120-volt
power and is correctly grounded.

Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve
our products, we reserve the right to change materials and specifications without notice.

Dimensions are for planning purposes only. For complete details, see Installation
Instructions packed with product. Specifications subject to change without notice.

Gas Cooktop

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow
of combustion and ventilation air.

●

It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified
on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the
underside of the cooktop base.

●

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.

●

The cooktop must be a specified cooktop that is approved to be installed either
alone or over an undercounter built-in oven. Check the cooktop base approved
installation label for your cooktop model number and approved combinations
of cooktops and ovens that can be installed. If you do not find this label, your
cooktop may not be approved for use over an undercounter built-in oven.
Contact your dealer to confirm that your cooktop is approved.

●

Ovens approved for this type of installation will have an approval label located
on the top of the oven. If you do not find this label, contact your dealer to
confirm that your oven is approved. Refer to oven manufacturer’s Installation
Instructions for approval for built-in undercounter use and proper cutout
dimensions.

●

The cooktop should be installed in a location away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors and strong heating vents or fans.

●

All openings in the wall or floor where cooktop is to be installed must be
sealed.

●

Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions
are minimum clearances.

●

Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See “Gas Supply
Requirements” section.

●

The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its side or rear
flanges.

●

The gas and electric supply should be located as shown in “Cabinet
Dimensions” section so that they are accessible without requiring
removal of the cooktop.

●

Provide cutout in right rear corner of cutout enclosure as shown to
provide clearance for gas inlet, power supply cord, and to allow the
rating label to be visible.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, check with your builder or cabinet
supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor,
delaminate or sustain other damage.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the cooktop, follow the range hood or microwave
hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances
above the cooktop surface.

NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some
installations may require notching down the base cabinet
side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this
modification, use a base cabinet with sidewalls wider than
the cutout.

If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from
the countertop to the top of the drawer (or other
obstruction) in base cabinet is required. The drawer depth
may need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the
regulator.

IMPORTANT: If an undercounter built-in wall oven is to be
installed below this cooktop, the grounded outlet (H) and
gas supply piping must be located in an adjacent cabinet.

This cooktop and its gas and electrical supply sources must
be installed before the undercounter built-in wall oven is
installed.
