To eliminate the risk of burns or fire, avoid

installing cabinet storage above the
cooking surface, if cabinets are already
installed, reduce the hazard of reaching
over a heated cooking surface by installing

a range hood. The range hood should

extend a minimum of 5 inches (12.7cm) out

from the bottom front of the cabinets.

Reaching over a heated cooking surface

could result in a serious burn or other

personal injury.

Take special care when drilling holes into
the wall for electrical wiring. Electrical
wires may be concealed behind the wall

covering.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING: If the information

in this manual is not followed

exactly, a fire or explosion

may result causing property
damage, personal injury or

death.

Do Not store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.

m WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL

GAS

• Do Not try to light any
appliance.

• Do Not touch any electrical
switch; do not use any phone

in your building.

• Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor's

phone. Follow the gas

supplier's instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas

supplier, call the fire
department.

Installation and service must

be performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or

the gas supplier.

Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.

Proper installation is your responsibility Make

sure you have everything necessary for correct
installation. It is the responsibility of the installer
to comply with the installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate can be found on the
underside of the cooktop burner box.

Check location where cooktop will be installed.
The location should be away from strong draft

areas, such as windows. The cooktop should be
located for convenient use in the kitchen.

ALL OPENINGS IN THE WALL OR FLOOR

WHERE THE COOKTOP IS TO BE INSTALLED

MUST BE SEALED.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See

"Electrical requirements."

Proper gas supply connection must be

available. See "Gas supply requirements."

Note: The sealed gas cooktop is manufactured

for use with NATURAL gas. Conversion to L.P.
gas can be made with Kit No. 4173627, available

from your KitchenAid dealer or authorized parts
distributor.

Countertop opening dimensions that are
shown must be used. Given dimensions provide
required 0" (0cm) clearance.

Cabinet construction: This appliance is

designed for use in a base cabinet with a depth
of 24" (61cm). The maximum depth for overhead
cabinets is 13" (33cm). The minimum vertical
clearance between the cooking surface and the
overhead cabinets is 30" (76.2cm). Overhead

cabinets installed at either side of the appliance

must be a minimum of 18" (45.7cm) above the

cooking surface. The minimum distance between
the front edge of the countertop and the front

edge of the cooktop is 3/4" (1.9cm). The

minimum horizontal distance between the

overhead cabinets above the appliance are
shown for your model number.

New installations -- follow minimum
dimensions given.

Replacement installations -- Be sure that front
edge of cooktop is at least 1-1/2" (3.8cm) back
from front edge of countertop.

When installing cooktop over a built-under

oven. Do Not fasten cooktop to countertop with
clamps. Cooktop then will be easy to remove if

servicing is ever necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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 112psi (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 112psi (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).

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.

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.

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.
