Before you start...
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 bottom of the
cooktop.
Check location where cooktop will be installed.
The location should be away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating
vents or fans. The cooktop should be located for
convenient use in the kitchen.
When installing a cooktop under existing cabinets
and the installation does not meet the minimum
cabinet clearances, install a range hood above the
cooktop to avoid burn hazards.

Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA approved gas supply
line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified
person make sure gas pressure does
not exceed 11” water column. Examples
of a qualified person include licensed
heating personnel, authorized gas
company personnel, and authorized
service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.

This i:stallation 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
(See **,
Panel A.)
B.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet
(610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet
(610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4%
for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level.
(For the USA only.)
If local codes and ordinances permit, 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” (.95 cm) male pipe thread is needed
for connection to pressure regulator female
pipe threads.
shutoff valve
E
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 rigitpipe 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 -
Supply pressure - 7 to 14 inches
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure Supply pressure - 11 inches
6 inches (15.2 cm) W.C.
(17.8 cm to 35.5 cm)
maximum W.C.

Line Pressure Testing:
Testing above 112 psi (3.5kPa) (gauge) The cooktop and its individual
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 cooktop

manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than
l/2 psi (3.5 kPa).

requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure whether the cooktop is
properly grounded.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere for
KGCS1005 models (20-ampere for
KGCG2605 models), 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 are 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 of Installation Instructions.
The wiring diagram is also located on the
underside of the cooktop control panel.
Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong ground plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance
with National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA
70 - latest edition (see’, Panel A) and local
codes and ordinances. See Figure 1. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded,
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

This Fooktop 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 314” (1.9 cm) 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.
