Gas supply 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.
A n 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.”
B n 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.
C n The sealed gas cooktop is manufactured for use with NATURAL gas. Conversion to L.Pgas 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.
tn 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:
NATURALGAS:
Mlnlmum pressure 4 Inches W.C.
In 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.
