Gas Supply: This cooktop is factory set for use with
natural gas. Cooktop can be converted to LP gas.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service
technician. 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 can be 1/2" minimum. Usually, LP gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used in the
system.

supplier. See the Gas Conversion instructions provided in
the package containing literature.

30" (76.2 cm) Cooktop Overall: M + N must equal 48" (122.0 cm) minimum + 29"
(73.7 cm) cutout for cooktop or 77" (195.6 cm)

(89.5 cm) cutout for cooktop or 83-1/4" (211.5 cm)
**M + N combined must be at least 48" (122.0 cm) minimum overall
Example 1: M = 8" (20.3 cm) left side + N = 40" (101.6 cm) right side = 48" (122.0 cm)
Example 2: M = 24" (61.0 cm) left side + N = 24" (61.0 cm) right side = 48" (122.0 cm)
NOTES:
After making the countertop cutout, some installations may require notching down the
base cabinet side walls to clear the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a
base cabinet with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
If cabinet has a drawer, a 4" (10.2 cm) depth clearance from the countertop to the top
of the drawer (or other obstruction) in base cabinet is required. The drawer depth may
need to be shortened to avoid interfering with the regulator.
*If installing a hood above the range, follow the hood instructions for dimensional
clearances above the cooktop surface.
Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve
our products, we reserve the right to change materials and specifications without notice.

Instructions packed with product. Specifications subject to change without notice.
