5.
When all connections have been made, make
sure all range controls are in the off position and
turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid
leak detector at all joints and connections to check
for leaks in the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig
to pressure-test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the range and individual
shutoff valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the range from
the gas supply system by closing the individual
shutoff valve.
ELEcTRIcALcONNECTIOHS
(FOR ELECTRK IGNITION MODELS)
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60-Hz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cuutions
Because of potential safety hazards associated
with certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding-type appliance extension cord and that
the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch
circuit rating.
Grounding
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a
standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
The customer should
have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician
to make sure the
receptacle is
properly grounded.

INSURE PROPER
GROUND EXISTS
BEFORE USE
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
Usage Situations Where Appliance Power
Cord Will Be Disconnected INFREQUENTLY.
An adapter maybe used only on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of
a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware
stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle
to provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.

PERMITTEO IN CANADA)

CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use. Should this
happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
Usage Situations Where Appliance Power
Cord Will Be Disconnected FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual
failure of the adapter ground terminal. The
customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle
by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
