Gas supply
requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas
supply line.
Install a shutoff valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified
person make sure gas pressure does
not exceed 14" 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.
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
IMPORTANT: Cooktop must be connected
to a regulated gas supply.
A.
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
Z223.1 — latest edition** or CANI —
B149.1 or 2***.
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.
C.
The cooktop is equipped for use
with natural gas*. It is design-certified by
CSA International for natural and L.P .
gases with appropriate conversion. The
model/serial rating plate, located on
the underside of the burner box, 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
the local gas supplier. See Page 2 for L.P .
gas conversion instructions.

D.
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"
rigid pipe to the cooktop location. A
smaller size pipe on long runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds, suitable for use with L.P .
gas, must be used. With L.P . gas, piping
or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. L.P .
gas suppliers usually determine the size
and materials used on the system.
E.
If local codes permit, a new AGA
or CSA design-certified, 4-5 foot (1.2-1.5
m) long, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector is recommended for
connecting this cooktop to the gas supply
line. Do not kink or damage the flexible
connector 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
connector and shutoff valve.

"open" position
to cooktop
F.
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 the
shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the appliance.
G.
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.
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 and checking the regulator
setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 4 inches (10.2 cm).
Supply pressure 7-14 inches (17.8 cm
to 35.5 cm) maximum.
L.P . GAS:
Minimum pressure 10 inches (25.4 cm).
Supply pressure 14 inches (35.5 cm).
I.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
(14 inches (35.6 cm)) W.C. (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 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (14 inches
(35.6 cm)) 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 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Electrical
requirements

line
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
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,
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.
*Exception: Model KGCR055 is
manufactured for use with L.P . gas only.
