Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid
Recommended
grounding method
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.

If local codes permit,
a new
A.G.A.design-certified,
4 - 5 foot long,1 12" or
3/4" I.D., flexible
metal appliance
connector
is recommended
for connecting
this range
to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or

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.

All strains must be removed
from the
supply and fuel lines so range will be level
and in line.
H
n
The reaulator
must be checked
at
a minimum
of 1 -inch water column
above
the set pressure.
The inlet pressure to the
regulator
should be as follows for operation:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 5 inches
Maximum
pressure
14 inches
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure
11 inches
Maximum
pressure
14 inches
I
n
Line pressure testing:
Testing above
l/2 lb psi (gauge)
The range and its individual
shutoff valve
must be disconnected
from the gas supply
piping
system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures greater
than
l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing at l/2 lb 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).

Requirements
Electrical
Shock Hazard
. Electrical
ground
is required
on this
appliance.
. Improper
connection
of the equipment-
grounding
conductor
can result in fire,
electrical
shock, or other personal
injury.
. Check
with a qualified
electrician
if you
are in doubt as to whether
the
appliance
is properly
grounded.
l
Do Not modify the power supply

injury.
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.
The wiring diagram
is found on a separate
sheet in the literature
package.

grounding-
type wall receptacle,
grounded
in
accordance
with the National
Electrical
Code,
ANSVNFPA 70-latest edition*
