Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT:
The range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will
not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.
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.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

�
A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A fused, ground and polarized
electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker
is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this range be provided.
�
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120 V power and is correctly grounded.
�
This gas range is not required to be plugged into a GFCI
(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. It is recommended
that you not plug an electric spark ignition gas range or any
other major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet as it may cause
the GFCI to trip during normal cycling.
�
Performance of this range will not be affected if operated on a
GFCI-protected circuit. However, occasional nuisance tripping
of the GFCI breaker is possible due to the normal operating
nature of electronic gas ranges.
�
The tech sheet and wiring diagram are located on the back of
the range in a plastic bag.
NOTE:
The metal chassis of the range must be grounded in order
for the control panel to work. If the metal chassis of the range is
not grounded, no keypads will operate. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the metal chassis of
the range is grounded.
Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to propane, have a qualified person make
sure gas pressure does not exceed 14
ʺ
(36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include: licensed heating
personnel, authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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 the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
or, in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1 - latest edition.
IMPORTANT:
Leak testing of the range must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the
“Complete Connection” in the "Make gas connection" section for
the leak testing 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 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.
Propane 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 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the
range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. With Propane gas, piping or tubing size
can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in the system.
�
NOTE:
Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of Propane
gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
