Gas supply
requirements
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA approved gas supply line.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Important: Cooktop must be connected to a
regulated gas supply.
IA
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* or
CAN/CGA-B1 49 - latest edition** installation
codes.
ml
Input ratings shown on the model/serial
. rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000
feet (609.6 m). For elevations above
2,000 feet (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate
of 4% for each 1,000 feet (304.8 m) above sea
level. (Not applicable for Canada.)
(c
This range is equipped for use with
. Natural gas. It is design-certified by
A.G.A./C.G.A. for Natural and L.P. gas
with appropriate conversion. The model/serial
rating plate, located on the oven frame behind the
drawer, has information on the type of gas that can
be used. If this information does not agree with the
type of gas available, check with your KitchenAid
dealer.
D-l
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4” (1.9 cm)
n
rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller
size pipe on long runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds
appropriate for use with L.P. gas must be used.
With L.P gas, piping or tubing size can be l/2”
(1.3 cm) minimum. L.P gas suppliers usually
determine the size and materials used on the
system.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
* American Gas Association
1515 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington, Virginia 22209
+ * Canadian Standard Association
178 Rexdale Boulevard
Etobicoke, (Toronto), Ontario M9W 1R3
El
If local codes permit, a new
n
A.G.A./C.G.A. design-certified, 4-5 foot
(122 -152.4 cm) long, l/2” (1.3 cm) or
3/4” (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended for connecting this
range to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or
damage the flexible tubing when moving the range.
A l/2” (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for
connection to pressure regulator female pipe
threads.
El
The supply line shall be equipped with an
approved shutoff valve. This valve should
be located in the same room, but external
to the range, and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block
access to shutoff valve.
El
If rigid pipe is used
line, a combination
’ must be used to obtain an in-line
connection to the range. All strains must be
removed from the supply and fuel lines so range
will be level and in line.
IH
The regulator setting must be checked at
. a minimum of 1 inch water column above
the manifold pressure. The inlet pressure
to the regulator should be as follows for operation:
Natural gas:
Manifold pressure - 5 inches
Maximum pressure - 14 inches
L.P. gas:
Manifold pressure - 10 inches
Maximum pressure - 14 inches
II.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (gauge)
The range 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 (3.5 kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (gauge) or lower
The range 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 (3.5 kPa).
Electrical
requirements
If codes permit and a separate earth/ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the earth/ground
path is adequate.
Do Not earth/ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure range is earthed/grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
earth/ground circuit.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere, fused
electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this range be
provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide
voltage limits, but proper earthing/grounding and
polarity are necessary. In addition to checking that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly
earthed/grounded, the outlet must be checked by a
qualified electrician to see if it is wired with correct
polarity.
The wiring diagram is included in the literature
package. The wiring diagram can also be found on
the back of the range.
Note: The metal chassis of the range MUST be
earthed/grounded in order for the control panel to
work. If the metal chassis of the range is not
earthed/grounded, NO keypads will operate. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the metal chassis of range is
earthed/grounded.
Recommended ground method
For personal safety, this range is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong earth/ground
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong,
earth/ground-type wall receptacle,
earthed/grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest edition*
or CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1, - latest edition ** and all local codes and
ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a properly
earthed/grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
