(01-08-00)  
Check the cooktop serial plate to see if the cooktop is  
approved for installation in mobile homes and/or  
recreational park trailers. Serial plate is located on the  
bottom of the unit.  
All supply piping, except as noted, should use common  
National Pipe Thread (N.P.T.). For all pipe connections  
use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the  
action of LP gas.  
If approved, the following items are applicable:  
CAUTION: Warranty is void on Maytag equipment  
installed other than as recommended by manufacturer.  
Mobile Homes  
The installation of a range designed for mobile home  
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home  
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part  
3280 [formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home  
Construction and Safety, Title 24 HUD, (Part 280)] or,  
when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for  
Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA  
501A, or with local codes.  
This appliance is designed for use with the appliance gas  
pressure regulator supplied with this appliance. It must be  
installed in the gas line ahead of the gas manifold  
entrance. It is preset for use with natural gas and must be  
converted, as described on pages 7 and 8, for use with  
LP gas. (See figures 6 -- 11).  
In Canada the range must be installed in accordance with  
the current CSA Standard C22.1 -- Canadian Electrical  
Code Part 1 and Section Z240.4.1 -- Installation  
Requirements for Gas Burning Appliances in Mobile  
Homes (CSA Standard CAN/CSA -- Z240MH).  
This appliance is designed to operate at a pressure of 5  
inches of water column (36models), 4 inches of water  
column (30models) on natural gas or, if converted for  
use with LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches water  
column. Make sure this appliance is supplied with and  
adjusted for the type of gas for which it is designed.  
Recreational Park Trailers  
This appliance was adjusted at the factory for use with  
natural gas. If, at any time, this appliance is to be used  
with a different type of gas, all of the conversion  
adjustments described on pages 7 and 8 must be made  
by a qualified service technician before attempting to  
operate the cooktop on that gas. Natural gas should be  
supplied to the appliance pressure regulator at a line  
pressure between 6 and 14 inches of water column or, if  
converted for LP gas, between 11 and 14 inches.  
The installation of a range designed for recreational park  
trailers must conform with state or other codes or, in the  
absence of such codes, with the Standard for  
Recreational Park Trailers, ANSI A119.5-latest edition.  
In Canada the range must be installed in accordance with  
CAN/CSA -- Z240.6.2 -- Electrical Requirements for R.V.’s  
(CSA Standard CAN/CSA -- Z240 RV Series) and Section  
Z240.4.2 -- Installation Requirements for Propane  
Appliances and Equipment in R.V.’s (CSA Standard  
CAN/CSA -- Z240 RV Series).  
Installation Of Appliance  
WARNING  
The installation of this appliance must conform with local  
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National  
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1--Latest Edition, or, in  
Canada, CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code, Latest  
Edition.  
If the line pressure supplying the appliance pressure  
regulator exceeds 14water column (any gas), an  
external regulator must be installed in the gas line ahead  
of the appliance regulator to reduce the pressure to no  
more than 14water column. Failure to do this can result  
in malfunction and damage to the appliance.  
This appliance, when installed, must be electrically  
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the  
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70--Latest Edition, or, in Canada, current  
CSA Standard C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.  
Insure this appliance is adjusted for the type of gas  
supplied to it and that the gas supply pressure to the  
appliance regulator is within the proper pressure range.  
In The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts  
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or  
gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of  
Massachusetts.  
NOTE: In Canada, gas utilization codes prohibit use of  
street elbows. Use standard pipe elbows and make  
modifications to these instructions as necessary.  
A “T” handle type manual gas valve must be installed in  
the gas supply line to this appliance.  
A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed a  
length of three (3) feet / 36 inches.

Connecting Appliance To Gas Supply  
A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR GAS  
APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS  
SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the  
appliance shall be conducted by the installer  
according to the instructions given.  
ILLUSTRATIVE GAS SUPPLY PIPING  
Gas supply piping MUST conform to all local,  
municipal and state building codes and local utility  
regulations.

IF NO OTHER APPLIANCE IS TO BE INSTALLED  
BELOW THIS COOKTOP  
Join the appliance pressure regulator supplied with this  
appliance to the entrance threads of the Gas Manifold.  
The appliance regulator is marked with a directional arrow  
indicating correct direction of gas flow. Ensure the  
appliance regulator is installed with the arrow pointing  
toward the gas manifold entrance. Tighten the appliance  
regulator to 20 to 30 ft-lbs of torque.  
ALL SUPPLY SIDE  
PIPE JOINTS  
1/2N.P.T.  
I M P O R T A N T  
Never tighten to more than 35 ft-lbs of torque. Always  
use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the  
action of LP gas.  
Install the appliance in its counter cutout.  
FIGURE 3  
Make the gas connection to the inlet of the appliance  
pressure regulator with 1/2NPT male pipe threads.  
Install a manual shut-off valve in an accessible location in  
the gas line ahead of the appliance pressure regulator  
and external to this appliance for the purpose of turning  
on or shutting off gas to the appliance.  
WARNING  
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a  
dangerous situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by  
smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and  
install an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in  
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Make additional pipe connections as necessary ahead of  
the shut-off valve to the gas supply source. Assure all  
pipe joint connections are gas tight.  
I M P O R T A N T  
Apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and  
fittings in the gas connection between the supply line  
shut-off valve and the cooktop. Include gas fittings and  
joints in the cooktop if connections were disturbed  
during installation. Check for leaks! Bubbles appearing  
around fittings and connections will indicate a leak. If a  
leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve,  
tighten connections, turn on the supply line gas shut off  
valve, and retest for leaks. Never test for gas leaks with  
an open flame.

Alternative Piping Methods To  
Connect Appliance To Gas Supply  
A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR GAS  
APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE GAS  
SUPPLY CONNECTION. Leak testing of the  
appliance shall be conducted by the installer  
according to the instructions given.  
Pressure Testing  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply  
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off  
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping  
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 pounds  
per square inch (3.5 kPa).  
This appliance, as well as its individual shut-off valve,  
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system  
during any pressure testing of the system at test  
pressures in excess of 1/2 pounds per square inch (3.5  
kPa).  
Unless prohibited by local codes or ordinances, a new  
A.G.A. -- Certified, flexible metal appliance connector may  
be used to connect this appliance to its gas supply. The  
connector must be no more than 5 feet in length. Per  
figure 5, use appropriate flare union adapter at each end  
of the flexible connector. If a flexible connector is used  
assure that both the appliance pressure regulator and  
manual shut-off valve are joined solidly to other  
permanent hard piping (either gas supply or the appliance  
manifold) so as to be physically stationary. See  
illustrations below.  
When checking appliance regulator function, make certain  
pressure of natural gas supply is between 6 and 14  
inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas,  
between 11 and 14 inches of water column.  
ILLUSTRATIVE ALTERNATIVE PIPING  
CAUTION: Do not attempt to attach the flexible  
connector directly to an external pipe thread.  
Connection requires flare union adapters.
