Whirlpool W10131955C Make Gas Connection, Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout

6.Tighten screws just enough to hold brackets in place when cooktop is put in cutout.

7.Using 2 or more people, turn the cooktop right side up and place in cutout.

NOTE: Make sure that the front edge of the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the countertop. If repositioning is needed, lift entire cooktop up from cutout to avoid scratching the countertop.

8.Loosen the screws and rotate the brackets so that they are perpendicular to the edge of the cooktop base and extend beyond its edge. Securely tighten screws.

Installing Brackets After Placing Cooktop in Cutout

1.Using 2 or more people, place cooktop right side up into the cutout.

Make Gas Connection

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new CSA International 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 14" (36 cm) 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.

To Assemble Pressure Regulator:

1.Using 2 or more people, stand the cooktop on its side or back.

2.Connect the flexible stainless steel connector to the pressure regulator using a ½" male pipe thread adapter and nipple.

A combination of pipe fittings must be used to connect the cooktop to the existing gas line. Shown following is a typical connection. Your connection may be different, according to the supply line type, size and location.

3.Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up toward the bottom of the cooktop base and in a position where you can reach the regulator cap.

IMPORTANT: All connections must be wrench-tightened. Do not make connections to the gas regulator too tight. Making the connections too tight may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not allow the regulator to turn on the pipe when tightening fittings.

Use only pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP gas.

Do not use TEFLON® tape. You will need to determine the fittings required depending on your installation.
