Electrical Shock Hazard
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded receptacle.
Electrical ground is required on this range.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Do Not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit could result in an electrical
shock.
Do Not use an extension cord with this range.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure the range is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the grounding path is
adequate.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, IO-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.
Fire Hazard
Range must be connected to a regulated gas
suPPlY-
Gas supply must NOT exceed 14-inch water
column pressure. This must be checked by a
qualified technician before installing the
range.
Do Not use an open flame to test for leaks
from gas connections.
New A.G.A. design-certified flexible gas line
should be used when local codes permit.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire or injury.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
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
2223.1 - 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 factory set for use with
Natural gas. It is design-certified by the
American Gas Association (A.G.A.) for Natural or
L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. (See
“Gas conversions” instructions, Pages 6-7.) The
model/serial rating plate (located on the frame
behind the storage 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 l/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.
Flexible metal appliance connection: If local
codes permit, a new A.G.A. design-certified,
l/2’ or 3/4’ I.D., flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended for connecting range
to the gas supply line. A l/2’ male pipe thread is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads. Do Not kink or damage the
flexible metal tubing when moving the range.
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.
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.
A wiring diagram is included on the back of
the range.
See “Cabinet dimensions/requirements,” Page 1,
for recommended location of electrical outlet.
Recommended
grounding method
For your personal safety, this range must be
grounded. This range is manufactured with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating, 3-prong,
grounding-type, wall receptacle, grounded in
accordance with National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition and all local codes
and ordinances.
If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is
the responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have a properly grounded, 3-prong, wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

manual shutoffvalve
‘open” posmon
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 WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure: 11 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inches WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above l/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
equal to or greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at l/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 l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
