Sealed Gas Cooktop
Gas supply
requirements
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
water column rating specified in LP
conversion kit. 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.
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Important: Cooktop must be
connected to a regulated gas supply.
This installation must conform with
local codes and ordinances. In the
absence of local codes, installation
must conform with American National Standard,
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 2223.1 - latest
edition.*

Input ratings shown on the model/serial
. rating plate are for elevations up to
2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000
feet ratings should be reduced at a rate of 4% for
each 1,000 feet above sea level.

Ic.I
This cook-top is manufactured for use
with NATURAL gas and it is design-
certified by A.G.A.
L.P. gas conversion
This cooktop can be converted for use with L.P.
gas. However, no attempt shall be made to
convert the appliance from the gas specified on
the rating plate for use with a different gas
without consulting the serving gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service
technician. Conversion Kit No. 4173627 is
available from your KitchenAid dealer or
authorized parts distributor.
IDI
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4” 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.

If local codes and ordinances permit,
. A.G.A.-design-certified, new flexible
metal tubing is recommended for
connecting cook-top to the gas supply line. Do
Not kink or damage the flexible tubing when
moving the cooktop. A l/2” male pipe thread is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads.
shutoff valve
A
“open” position
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 co
pipe fittings must be used
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” water column above the
set pressure. The inlet pressure to the
regulator should be as follows for operation and
checking the regulator setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 4 inches
Maximum pressure 14 inches
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing 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
pressures greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
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 (3.5 kPa).
