Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This cooktop is factory set for use with Natural gas. If
converting to LP gas, see the “LP Gas Conversion” instructions
provided in the package containing literature. The model/serial/
rating plate located on bottom of the cooktop 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.
LP Gas Conversion:
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.
Gas Supply Line
■ 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
TEFLON
®
† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size should
be
1
⁄
2
" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the
size and materials used in the system.
Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve our
products, we reserve the right to change materials and specifications without notice.
Dimensions are for planning purposes only. For complete details, see
