KitchenAid 30-Inch 4 Burner Gas Rangetop, Commercial-Style Installation Guide

3.  Install the pressure regulator with the arrow pointing up 

toward the bottom of the cooktop burner 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.

4.  Place cooktop into the countertop cutout.

NOTE: Check 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.

1.  Apply pipe-joint compound made for use with LP gas to the 

smaller thread ends of the flexible connector adapters (see 

B and F in the following illustration).

2.  Attach one adapter to the gas pressure regulator and 

the other adapter to the gas shut-off valve. Tighten both 

adapters.

3.  Use a 

15

/

16

" combination wrench and channel lock pliers to 

attach the flexible connector to the adapters. Check that 

connector is not kinked.

1.  Open the manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line. The 

valve is open when the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

2.  Test all connections by brushing on an approved 

noncorrosive leak-detection solution. If bubbles appear, 

a leak is indicated. Correct any leak found.

3.  Remove cooktop burner caps, burner bases and grates from 

parts package. Place burner bases on cooktop. Place burner 

caps on burner bases. Place grates over burners and caps.

4.  Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
5.  Check the operation of the surface burners. See “Check 

Operation of Cooktop Burners” in the “Complete Installation”
