Gas supply
requirements
Observe
all governing
codes and
ordinances.
Fire Hazard
l
Range must be connected
to a
regulated gas supply.
. L.P. gas supply must Not exceed a
pressure of 14-inch water column. This
must be checked by a qualified
technician
before installing this range.
l
Do Not use an open flame to test for
leaks from gas connections.
l
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, explosion or personal
injury.
A
n
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 2223.1 -
latest
edition**.
B
n
Input ratinas shown on the
serial/rating
plate are for elevations
up to
2,000 feet. For elevations
above
2,000 feet,
ratings are reduced
at a rate of 4% for each
1,000 feet above
sea level.
C
n
This range is equipped
for use with
NATURAL gas It is design-certified
by A.G.A.
for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate
conversion.
The serial/rating
plate,
located
under the maintop,
has information
on the
type of gas that can be used. If this
information
does not agree
with the type of
gas available,
check
with the local gas
supplier.
See Panel E for L.P. gas conversion
instructions.
D
n
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid
pipe to the range location.
A smaller size -
pipe on long runs may result in insufficient
gas supply.
Pipe-joint
compounds
made
for
use with L.P. gas must be used. With L.P. gas,
piping
or tubing
size can be l/2" minimum.
L.P. gas suppliers usually determine
the size
and materials
used on the system.
E
n
If local codes permit,
a new, A.G.A.
design-certified,
4-5 foot long, l/2" or 314"
I.D., flexible
metal appliance
connector
is
recommended
for connecting
this range to
the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage
the flexible
tubing
when moving
the range.
A l/2" male pipe thread
is needed
for
connection
to pressure regulator
female
pipe threads.
shutoff valve
I
r
n
The supply line shall be equipped
with
an approved
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.
Do Not block
access to shutoff valve.
supply line, a corn
pipe fittings must
obtain
an in-line
range.
All strains must be removed
from the
supply and fuel lines so range will be level
and in line.
H
n
The inlet pressure to the regulator
should be as follows for both operation
and
checking
regulator
setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 5 inches
Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure 11 inches
Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches
I W Line pressure testing:
Testing above l/2 psi (gauge)
The range and its individual
shutoff valve
must be disconnected
from the gas supply
piping
system by closing its individual
manual
shutoff valve
during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping
system at
test pressures equal
to or greater
than l/2
psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing at l/2 psi (gauge)
The range
must be isolated
from the gas
supply piping
system by closing its individual
manual
shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping
system at
test pressures equal
to or less than l/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
Electrical
requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l
Do Not modify the power supply cord
plug. If it does not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
l
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral
or grounding circuit could result in
electrical shock.
l
Do Not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
l
Check with a qualified electrician
if you
are in doubt as to whether the
appliance
is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
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,
15.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 provides
120-volt
power
and 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
in the literature
package.
The wiring diagram
is also located
on the underside
of the storage
drawer.
Recommended
grounding method
For your personal
safety, this appliance
must
be grounded.
This appliance
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 the National
Electrical
Code,
ANSVNFPA 70 -
latest edition*,
and
all local codes and ordinances.
(See Figure
1.) If a mating
wall receptacle
is not
available,
it is the personal
responsibility
and
obligation
of the customer
to have a
properly
grounded,
3-prong,
wall receptacle
installed
by a qualified
electrician.
