GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding a range with a cord connection:
This appliance must be Earth grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a
path for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding plug. The plug must be firmly plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you have any doubt the appliance is
properly grounded.
NEVER modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the
existing outlet, have a qualified electrician install a proper outlet.
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
Have your range installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the grounding instructions on page 25. Any adjustment and
service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service
technicians.
Be sure your range is correctly installed and adjusted by a qualified service
technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. To
utilize LP fuel source, the 5 surface burner orifices, 2 oven orifices must be
exchanged with the provided LP orifice set, and the GPR adapter must be
reversed.
WARNING
These adjustments must be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and all codes and
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified
agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to
a qualified technician.
This appliance must be properly grounded. Plug your range into a 120-
volt grounded outlet that is only used for this appliance. Do not remove the
grounding (third) prong from the plug. Firmly plug the power cord into the wall
outlet. If you are not sure your electrical outlet is grounded, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have a properly grounded, three-prong outlet
installed in accordance with local and national codes. Do not use a damaged
power plug or loose wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. In addition, do not use an adapter or otherwise defeat the grounding
plug. If you do not have a proper outlet or have any doubt, consult a licensed
electrician.
