Location
requirements
Select a location
that provides minimum
exposure to wind and traffic paths. The
location should be away from strong draft
areas.
Do not obstruct flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or
14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge)
The side burner and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing below 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) or
14 inches (35.5 cm) W.C. (gauge) or
lower
The side burner must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Important: Side burner must be
connected to a regulated gas supply.
• Input ratings shown on the model/serial
rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000
feet (610 m). For elevations above 2,000
feet (610 m), ratings are reduced at a
rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (305 m)
above sea level. Orifice conversion is
required. Contact KitchenAid Assistance
Center.
• Refer to the model/serial rating plate for
information on the type of gas that can
be used. If this information does not
agree with the type of gas available,
check with your local gas supplier.
No attempt shall be made to convert
the side burner from the gas specified
on the model/serial rating plate for use
with a different gas type without
consulting the serving gas supplier. The
conversion kits specified must be used.
L.P. Gas Conversion
L.P. gas conversion from a local L.P. gas
supply:
Conversion must be made by a qualified
gas technician.
The qualified natural gas
technician shall provide the L.P. gas
supply to the selected side burner
location in accordance with the National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54 and local codes.
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas
Conversion Kit No. 4396312 must be
used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
L.P. gas conversion using a L.P. fuel tank:
To convert to L.P. gas, the L.P. Gas
Conversion Kit No. 4396312 must be
used. Follow Instructions included with kit.
A L.P. gas cylinder, not larger than 20
pounds, must be purchased separately.
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 4 inches (10.2 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure 7-14 inches
(17.8 cm to 35.5 cm) W.C. maximum.
L.P. GAS:
Operating pressure:
11 inches (28 cm) W.C.
Supply pressure: 11 to 14 inches
(28 to 35.5 cm) W.C.
to side
burner
shutoff valve
“open” position
gas supply
line
The supply line shall be equipped with an
approved shutoff valve. This valve should
be located in the same area as the side
burner and should be in a location that
allows ease of opening and closing. Do
not block access to the shutoff valve. The
valve is for turning on or shutting off gas
to the appliance.
Built-in Side Burners –
Natural Gas:
Side burner are equipped for use with
Natural gas. They are design-certified by
CSA International for L.P. (propane or
butane) gases with appropriate
conversion.
Side burners are set for natural gas use
and have a pressure regulator with 1/2"
female pipe threads.
