Gas supply requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
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 11” water column. 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.
A
This i:stallation 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 (See **, Panel A.)
B.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet
(610 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet
(610 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level. (For the USA only.)
C
This Fooktop is equipped for use with NATURAL gas. The model/serial rating plate, located on the bottom of the cooktop, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, see your KitchenAid dealer or authorized parts distributor.
D.
Provide a gas supply line of 314” (1.9 cm) 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
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
If rigitpipe 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:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure - 6 inches (15.2 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure - 7 to 14 inches
(17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) maximum W.C.
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure - 10 inches (25.4 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure - 11 inches (27.9 cm) W.C.
1.
Line Pressure Testing:
Testing above 112 psi (3.5kPa) (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 l/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (3.5kPa) (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 psi (3.5 kPa).
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 for KGCS1005 models (20-ampere for KGCG2605 models), 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 on the back cover of Installation Instructions.
The wiring diagram is also located on the underside of the cooktop control panel.
Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance 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 National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA
70 - latest edition (see’, Panel A) and local codes and ordinances. See Figure 1. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
