Installation Instructions
[_ ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time
delay fuse.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external
switches that shut off power to the appliance are not
recommended for this product.
Grounding
j_,WARN I N G i ShockHazard: T his
appliance must be properly grounded. Failure
to do so can result in electric shock.
Ensureproper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-
prong (grounding) plug which 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.
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.

A word about GFCI's - GFCI's are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) a re devices that
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is
detected. These devices must be manually reset by the
consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of
GFCI'sin kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop
surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected
if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCIbreaker is possible.
I-4-]SEAL THE OPENINGS
Seal any openings in the wall behind the
range and in the floor under the range when
hookups are completed.
[_] IF THE RANGE HAS ELECTRIC IGNITION
There are separate ignition devices for the left
and right hand surface burners. Both of these
ignitors are ON when any knob is turned to
the LITE setting. The ignitors will spark as
long as any of the top burner knobs are at the
LITE setting.
In the event of an electrical power failure, the
top burners can still be used. To light a burner,
hold a lit kitchen match adjacent to the top
burner to be used and turn valve knob to LITE.
USE EXTREME CAUTION.

For Natural Gas:
The oven burner flame should be a clean, blue
flame with distinct inner cones approximately
1/2 inch long. A soft, lazy flame with indistinct
cones means too much gas or not enough air.
A noisy lifting flame means too much air.
