KitchenAid 36-Inch 5 Burner Gas Cooktop, Architect® Series II Guía De Instalación

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 

IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes 
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must 
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas 
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest 
edition. 

IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the cooktop must be conducted 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

This cooktop is design-certified by CSA International for use with 
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas. 

■

This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If 
converting to LP gas, see the following “LP Gas Conversion” 
section. The model/serial rating plate located on the 
underside of the cooktop base has information on the types 
of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not 
include the type of gas available, check with the local gas 
supplier.

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

No attempt shall be made to convert the cooktop from the gas 
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different 
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See the Gas 
Conversion instructions provided in the package containing 
literature.

■

Provide a gas supply line of 

³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the 

cooktop location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may 
result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that 
resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use

 tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should be 

½" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size 
and materials used in the system.

■

If local codes permit, use a 

¹⁄₂" or ³⁄₄" I.D. flexible stainless 

steel tubing gas connector, designed by CSA to connect 
the cooktop to the rigid gas supply line. 

■

A ½" male pipe thread is needed for connection to the 
female pipe threads of the inlet to the cooktop pressure 
regulator. 

■

Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when 
moving the cooktop.

Rigid pipe connection: 

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe 
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the cooktop. The 
rigid pipe must be level with the cooktop connection. All 
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so 
cooktop will be level and in line.

■

Must include a shutoff valve: 
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff 
valve. This valve should be located in the same room but 
external to the cooktop opening, such as an adjacent 
cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening 
and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve 
is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
