Electrical
Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded
3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure range is properly grounded.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, At-only,
10-ampere, 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 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 on the back of
the range.
See "Cabinet dimensions/requirements,"
Page 2,
for recommended location of electrical outlet.
Recommended
ground method
For personal safety, this range is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong ground
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong,
ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 --
latest edition* or CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, -- latest edition** and all
local codes and ordinances.
If a mating outlet is not available, it isthe
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CGA approved gas
supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person
make sure gas pressure does not exceed
14" water column. Examples of a qualified
person include licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
This installation must conform with IocM 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* or CAN/CGA-B149 --
latest edition**
installation codes.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
assistance when installingthe range at higher
elevations, contact your local service company.
Type of gas: This range is design-certified by the
American Gas Association (A.G.A.) and the
Canadian Gas Association (C.G.A.) for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use
with h P. gas. This range is factory set for use
with Natural gas. Gas conversion instructions
are provided on pages 7-8. The model/serial
rating plate located on the frame behind the
storage drawer or broiler door has information
on the type of gas that can be used. If the type
of gas listed does not agree with the type of gas
available, check with the local gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a qualified service
technician.
Gas supply line: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"
rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P. gas,
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used
in the system.
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas
must be used on pipe threads only.
Flexible metal appliance connector: If local codes
permit, a new A.G.A. or C.G.A. design-certified,
1/2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended for connecting range
to the gas supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread
nipple is needed for connection to pressure
regulator female pipe threads. Do Not kink or
damage the flexible metal tubing when moving
the range.

gas supply
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped
with a manual 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. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not block
access to shutoff valve.
Pressure regulator: The gas pressure regulator
supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure: 5 inches WCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inchesWCP
L.P. GAS:
Minimum pressure: 11 inchesWCP
Maximum pressure: 14 inchesWCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP) -- The range and its individual manual
shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
(14" WCP) or lower-
The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3,5 kPa),
