Gas supply
requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Fire Hazard
l
Range must be connected
to a
regulated gas supply.
l
L.P. gas supply must Not exceed a
pressure of 14" 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.
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
Z223.1 -latest edition".

Input ratin
?
s shown on the serial/rating
plate are or elevations up to 2,CKlO feet.
For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings
are reduced at a rate of 4% for each
1,000 feet above sea level.
P
b.
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
Provbe a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid
pipe to the range location. A smaller
size pipe on long runs may resuit 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 3/4" 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.

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 inlet pressure to the regulator
should be as follows for both operation
and checking
regulator setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 6 inches
Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches
L.P. GAS:
Set pressure 11 inches
Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches
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 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
(If model is so equipped.)
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 fii 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.
lf 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.
A wiring diagram is included in the
literature package.
The wiring diagram
is also located on the back of the
range.
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.

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.
