Electrical & Gas Requirements
Electrical Requirements
Check your national and local codes regarding this unit. This range requires120VAC/60 Hz; 4 ft. (121.9 cm), 3-wire cord with grounded
3-prong plug attached to unit. See “Electrical Connection” section for grounding instructions. Must be fused seperately from any other
circuit.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; verify electrical power is turned off at the breaker box and
gas supply is turned off until the range is installed and ready to operate, installation by an authorized installer only.
Gas Connection
The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system.
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This range uses a 1/2” (1.3 cm) IDNPT
(Sch40) inlet. Sealant on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
The range is designed specifically for natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation verify that the model is
compatible with the intended gas supply.
Manual shut-off valve:
This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line before the appliance in the gas stream and in a location where it
can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency. Any opeing behind the range shall be sealed.
In Massachusetts: A “T” handle type manual valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualified licensed plumber or gas service company.
Please provide the service person with this manual before work begins.
Pressure Regulator
• All ranges have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure may fluctuate
with local demand.
External regulators are not required on this range since a regulator is supplied with each unit. Under no condition by-pass this
regulator.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer, natural gas requires 4.0”W.C.P. and LP gas requires 11.0” W.C.P. Incoming
line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than the manifold pressure in order to check the regulator. The
regulator used on this range can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2” PSI (14.0” W.C.P.). If the line pressure is in excess of
that amount, a step down regulator will be required.
