Electrical Requirements - Canada Only
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate and wire gauge are in accordance
with local codes.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 - latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
Canadian Standards Association

■
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure
the range is properly grounded.
*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial/rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with
kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a
nominal 1
³⁄₈
" (3.5 cm) diameter connection opening.
■
A circuit breaker is recommended.
■
This range is equipped with a CSA International Certified
Power Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-50R
wall receptacle. Be sure the wall receptacle is within reach of
range’s final location.
■
Do not use an extension cord.
■
The tech sheet and wiring diagram are located on the back of
the range in a plastic bag.
Gas Supply Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT:
This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest
edition.
IMPORTANT:
Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
■
This range is factory-set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial/rating plate located
on the oven frame behind the top right-hand side of the oven
door 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 appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial/rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas
Conversions” section.
Gas Supply Line
■
Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result
in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size
can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE:
Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas
must be used. Do not use TEFLON
