RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord
with a three-prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged into a mating
grounding, type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120 volt circuit. If the circuit does not
have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer to have the
existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with all
applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and
ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
The third prong should not, under ANY circumstances, be cut or removed.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range are shipped from the factory set up and
adjusted for natural gas or LP (propane), depending on specific model ordered. The unit CANNOT be
converted.
NATURAL GAS
Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8” dia. flex line.
Supply Pressure: 6” to 14” W.C.
LP GAS
Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8 dia. flex line.
Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.
A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum of 14” W.C. to the range regulator.
HOOK-UP
A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front for
the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the
unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI 223.-1988, latest edition.
NOTE: The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved by an approved certifying
agency (AGA, CGA, CSA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic mate-
rial, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.
