Input ratings shown on the
serial/rating plate are 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.

w The sealed gas cooktop is
manufactured for use with NATURAL gas,
Conversion to L.P. gas can be made with
Kit No. 4372174, available from your
Whirlpool dealer or authorized parts
distributor.
No attempt shall be made to convert the
appliance from the gas specified on the
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 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, 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 l/2”
male pipe thread is needed for connection
to pressure regulator female pipe threads,
F.
shutoff valve
The supply line shall be equipped with
an approvedshutoff valve. This v&e shoulc
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 acce’ss to shutoff valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the
appliance.
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
n
The regulator must be checked at a
minimum 1 -inch water column above the se1
pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator
should be as follows for both operation and
checking the regulator setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure 5 inches W.C.
Maximum pressure 14 inches W.C.
I
n
Line pressure testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (14 inches W.C.)
W-W
The cooktcp and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
pping system during any pressure testing of
that system1 at test pressures greater than
l/2 psig (3.5kPA).
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 rrdividual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of tl?e gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig
(3.5kPA).

requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l
Do Not modify the power supply cord
plug. If plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified

is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
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 di’slgram is provided in the literature
package.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must
be grounded.This appliance is equipped
wl-h 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 ANSI/NFPA 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, S-prong wall receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
