Check the cooktop serial plate to see if the cooktop is approved for installation in mobile homes and/or recreational park trailers. Serial plate is located on the bottom of the unit.
If approved, the following items are applicable:
Mobile Homes
The installation of a range designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24 HUD, (Part 280)] or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or with local codes.
In Canada the range must be installed in accordance with the current CSA Standard C22.1 - Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and Section Z240.4.1 - Installation Requirements for Gas Burning Appliances in Mobile Homes (CSA Standard CAN/CSA - Z240MH).
Recreational Park Trailers
The installation of a range designed for recreational park trailers must conform with state or other codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the Standard for Recreational Park Trailers, ANSI
In Canada the range must be installed in accordance with CAN/CSA - Z240.6.2 - Electrical Requirements for R.V.’s (CSA Standard CAN/CSA - Z240 RV Series) and Section Z240.4.2 - Installation Requirements for Propane Appliances and Equipment in R.V.’s (CSA Standard CAN/CSA - Z240 RV Series).
Installation Of Appliance
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
This appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to this appliance.
A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed a length of three (3) feet / 36 inches.
All supply piping, except as noted, should use common National Pipe Thread (N.P.T.). For all pipe connections use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gas.
CAUTION: Warranty is void on Maytag equipment installed other than as recommended by manufacturer.
This appliance is designed for use with the appliance gas pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. It must be installed in the gas line ahead of the gas manifold entrance. It is preset for use with natural gas and must be converted, as described on pages 8 and 9, for use with LP gas. (See figures 7 - 12).
This appliance is designed to operate at a pressure of 5 inches of water column (36 models), 4 inches of water column (30 models) on natural gas or, if converted for use with LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches water column. Make sure this appliance is supplied with and adjusted for the type of gas for which it is designed.
This appliance was adjusted at the factory for use with natural gas. If, at any time, this appliance is to be used with a different type of gas, all of the conversion adjustments described on pages 8 and 9 must be made by a qualified service technician before attempting to operate the cooktop on that gas. Natural gas should be supplied to the appliance pressure regulator at a line pressure between 6 and 14 inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas, between 11 and 14 inches.
If the line pressure supplying the appliance pressure regulator exceeds 14 water column (any gas), an external regulator must be installed in the gas line ahead of the appliance regulator to reduce the pressure to no more than 14 water column. Failure to do this can result in malfunction and damage to the appliance.
Insure this appliance is adjusted for the type of gas supplied to it and that the gas supply pressure to the appliance regulator is within the proper pressure range.
SIf no other appliance is to be installed in the cabinetry below this unit, proceed as instructed under paragraph 1, page 4.
SIf this unit is to be installed over a Maytag Model MEW6500 or MEW5500 Series Electric Wall Oven proceed as instructed under paragraph 2, page 5.
NOTE: In Canada, gas utilization codes prohibit use of street elbows. Use standard pipe elbows and make modifications to these instructions as necessary.
