KitchenAid 8284908 Electrical requirements, L.P. Gas, Recommended ground method

gas supply line

L.P. Gas:

No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. To convert to L.P. gas, use L.P. gas conversion kit part no. 8284934. The parts for this kit are in the literature package supplied with cooktop.

D.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, suitable for use with L.P. gas, must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. L.P. gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system.

E.If local codes permit, use a flexible stainless steel tubing gas connector, design-certified by AGA or CSA International, to connect the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line. 5/8" diameter line is recommended. Do Not kink or damage the flexible connector when moving the cooktop. The pressure regulator has 1/2" female pipe threads. You will need to determine the fittings required, depending on the size of your gas supply line, flexible metal connector and shutoff valve.

to cooktop

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 the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

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 and checking the regulator setting:

NATURAL GAS:

Set pressure 5 inches (12.7 cm) W.C. Supply pressure 7-14 inches (17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) W.C. maximum.

L.P. GAS:

Minimum pressure 10 inches (25.4 cm) W.C.

Supply pressure 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C.

I.Line pressure testing: Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (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 psig (3.5kPa).

Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or 14 inches (35.5 cm) 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

WARNING

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, 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 ground 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 last page of these instructions.

Important: This cooktop is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.

This appliance, when installed, must be 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*.

Recommended ground method

For your personal safety, this cooktop must be grounded. This cooktop 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 the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition** or Canadian Electrical Code (CSA)* — and local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly polarized and grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
