For personal safety, this range is
equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3 prong ground plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3 prong,
ground-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*
and all local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of
the customer to have a properly polarized
and grounded, 3 prong outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure range is properly grounded.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 10-ampere,
fused electrical supply is required. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within
wide voltage limits, but proper grounding
and polarity are necessary. In addition to
checking that the outlet is correctly
grounded, the outlet must be checked by
a qualified electrician to see if it is wired
with correct polarity.
IMPORTANT:
This range is equipped with
an electronic ignition system that will not
operate if plugged into an outlet that is
not properly polarized.
A wiring diagram is included on the back
of the range.
See “Cutout dimensions/requirements,”
Page 3, for recommended location of

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

Input ratings shown on the model/serial
rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000
feet. For assistance when installing the
range at higher elevations, contact your
local service company.
Type of gas: This range is design-certified
by CSA International for use with Natural
gas or, after proper conversion, for use
with L.P. gas. This range is factory set for
use with Natural gas. Gas conversion
instructions are provided on pages 8-9.
The model/serial rating plate located on
the frame behind the broiler drawer has
information on the type of gas that can
be used. If the type of gas listed does not
agree with the type of gas available,
check with the local gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified
service technician.
Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line
of 3/4" rigid pipe to the range location.
With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be
1/2" minimum. A smaller size pipe on
longer runs may result in insufficient gas
supply. Usually, L.P. gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used in
the system.
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with
L.P. gas must be used on pipe threads
only.

• If using a ball valve, it shall be a
T-handle type.
• A flexible gas connector, when used,
must not exceed 3 feet.
