Recommended 
ground method

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.

Electrical requirements

Gas supply requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

This installation must conform with local codes
and ordinances.

In the absence of local codes,

installations must conform with American
National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 — latest edition**.

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 7-8.  The model/serial rating plate located
on the frame behind the storage drawer or
broiler door 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.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

If local codes

permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 1/2"
or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended for connecting range to the gas
supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads. 

Do Not kink or damage the

flexible metal tubing when moving the range. 

Shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped

with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be
located in the same room as the range and
should be in a location that allows ease of
opening and closing. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range. 

Do Not block

access to shutoff valve.
Pressure regulator:

The gas pressure regulator

supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:

NATURAL GAS:

Minimum pressure: 5 inches W.C. 
Maximum pressure: 14 inches W.C. 

L.P. GAS:

Minimum pressure: 11 inches W.C. 
Maximum pressure: 14 inches W.C. 

Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.

Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge 
(14" WCP) —

The range and its individual manual

shutoff valve must be disconnected 
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge 
(14" WCP) or lower —

The range must be

isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Rigid pipe connection:

Requires a

combination of pipe fittings to obtain 
an in-line connection to the range. All
strains must be removed from the
supply and fuel lines so range will 
be level and in line.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate and that the outlet is correctly
polarized.
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 “Cabinet dimensions/requirements,” Page 2,
for recommended location of electrical outlet.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply
line.

Install a shut-off valve.

Securely tighten all gas connections.

If connected to LP, have a qualified person
make sure gas pressure does not exceed 
14" 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.
