Installation instructions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(on electric ignition models)
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded
dedicated circuit protected by a 15-amp or
20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
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.
Preferred Method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard 3-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 2-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
SEAL THE OPENINGS
Seal any openings in the wall behind the
range and in the floor under the range
when hookups are completed.
LIGHT THE PILOTS
(For models equipped with standing
pilots. If the range is an electric ignition
model, the burners are ignited by electric
ignition which eliminates the need for
standing pilot lights.)
The range should be installed in its
permanent position before any pilots
are lit or adjusted.
CAUTION
- Make sure the surface
burner control knobs are in the OFF position
before attempting to light the pilots.
E_ Light the Surface Burner Pilots
1. Lift the cooktop up and prop it open
with the prop rod provided (see the
Care and cleaning of the range
section).
2. Locate the 2 pilot ports and light each
of them with a match.
Pilot port _,,
3. To avoid pilot outage, use caution when
closing cooktop after lighting pilots.
NOTE: Do not leave standing pilot lit in
a newly constructed or remodeled home
or apartment that will be unoccupied for
more than a month.
Each pilot flame was adjusted at the
factory to be approximately 5/16" tall.
A tinge of yellow appearing at the upper
tip is normal. If you find pilot adjustment
is necessary, follow instructions in Step B.
