requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Fire Hazard
Cooktop must be connected to a regulated
9s supply.
Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks
from gas connections.
New, A.G.A. designcertified, 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 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.”

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

The sealed gas cooktop is
manufactured for use with NATURAL gas.
Conversion to L.P gas can be made with Kit
No. 4173631, available from your Whirlpool
dealer or authorized parts distributor.
No attempt shall be made to convert the
appliance from the gas specified on the
model/serial rating plate for use with a
different gas without consulting the
servicing gas supplier. Conversion must be
done by a qualified service technician
using only the kit number specified.
D
n
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4”
rigid pipe to the cooktop’ Idcation. A
smaller size pipe on long runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds, made for use with NATURAL
and L.F?gas, must be used.
E
n
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. The pressure regulator has 3/8”
female pipe threads.You will need to
determine the fittings required, depending
on the size of your gas supply line, flexible
metal tubing and shutoff valve.
t
n
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
n
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
w The regulator must be checked at a
minimum 1 -inch water column above the
set pressure. The inlet pressure to the
regulator should be as follows for both
operation and checking the regulator
setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Mlnlmum pressure 4 Inches W.C.
I
n
line pressure testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (14 inches W.C.)
(gauge)
The cook-top 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 psig (35kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (14 inches W.C.) (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
(35kPa).
Electrical requhements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical ground is required on this
cooktop.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Do Not modify the power supply cord plug
If plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit could result in an
electrical shock.
Do Not use an extension cord with this
cooktop.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the cooktop is properly
grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
If codes permit and a separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15ampere, 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 in the literature
package.
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 National Electrical
Code ANSVNFPA 70 - 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.
