C
n
This range
is equipped
for use
with NATURAL gas only and is design-
certified
by A.G.A.
Electrical
requirements
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
NATURAL and L.P. gas must be used.
E
n
If local codes permit, A.G.A.
design-certified
flexible
metal tubing
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,
F
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.
G
n
If rigid pipe is used as a gas
supply line, a combination
of pipe
fittings must be used 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.
H
n
The aas supplv pressure for
checking
the regulator'setting
is to be
at least 7" W.C.(natural
gas),
Maximum
supply pressure for Natural
Gas must not exceed
14" W.C. in
accordance
with a regulator
setting
of 6" W.C.
I
n
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 during any
pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 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
Shock Hazard
b Electrical
ground
is required
on this
appliance.
B If cold water pipe is interrupted
by
plastic,
non-metallic
gaskets or
other insulating
materials,
Do Not
use for grounding.
B Do Not ground
to a gas pipe.
n Do Not modify
the power supply
cord plug.
If it does not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet
installed
by a qualified
electrician.
m 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.
m Do Not use an extension
cord with
this appliance.
b 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,
15ampere,
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 included
in the
literature
package.
The wiring
diagram
is also located
on the
bottom
of the storage
drawer.
Recommended
grounding method
For personal
safety, this appliance
must be grounded.
This appliance
is
equipped
with 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, ANSI/NFPA 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.

Venting
requfrkments
Ductwork
needed
for left side venting
is not included.
Fire Hazard
0 Venting
system must terminate
to
the outside.
l
Do Not terminate
the ductwork
in
an attic or other enclosed
space.
l
Do Not use 4" laundry-type
wall
caps.
Failure to follow recommended
venting
instructions
may result in a
fire.
Determine
which venting
method
to
use. Ductwork
can extend
either
through
the rear wall, left side or floor.
All transitions
and ductwork
needed
to vent to rear of range are supplied
with range.
To vent through
the floor,
use floor vent kit supplied.
To vent to
left side of range, a separate
venting
kit (Kit No. 4315772) must be used and
is available
from your dealer
or
authorized
parts distributor.
The length
of the ductwork
and
number
of elbows should be kept to a
minimum
to provide
efficient
performance.
The size of the
ductwork
should be uniform.
Do Not
install two elbows together.
Use duct
tape to seal all joints in the duct
system.
Use caulking
to seal exterior
wall or floor opening
around
cap.
Figures 2 - 7 show common
venting
methods
and types of materials
needed.
Flexible
ductwork
is Not
recommended.
If it is used, calculate
each foot of flexible
ductwork
as two
feet of straight
metal ductwork.
Flexible elbows count twice
as much
as standard
elbows.
Use metal
ductwork
only.
Use ductwork
cutout
dimensions
shown in Figures 2 - 7. If the ductwork
cutout
location
falls over a joist or
stud, a supporting
frame must be
constructed.
Do Not cut joist or stud.
NOTE: Make sure there is proper
clearance
within the wall or floor for
exhaust
duct before
making
cutouts.
