Electrical Requirements; Recommended Grounding Method - Whirlpool 36'' Freestanding Gas Range Installation Instructions Manual

A
This installation must conform
n with local codes and
ordinances. In the absence of local
codes, the installation must conform with
American National Standard, National
Fuel GasCode, ANSI 2223-l- latest
Input ratings shown on the
a serial/rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet. For
elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings
are reduced at a rate of 4% for
each 1,000 feet above sea level.

I
The range Is equlpped for use
: with NATURAL gas. It Is design-
certlfled by A.G.A. for NATURAL
and
L.P. gases wlth appropriate conversion.
The serlal/ratlng plate, located under
the cook-top, has lnformatlon on the
type of gas that can be used. If thls
lnformatlon does not agree with the
type of gas avallable, check with the
local gas suppller. See Panel E for L.P.
gas converslon Instructions.
D
m
Provide a gas supply line of
Vi' rigid pipe to the range
locarron. A smaller size pipe on long
runs may result in insufficient gas
supply. Pipe-joint compounds made
for use with LJ? gas must be used. With
L.P gas, piping or tubing size can be Yz"
minimum. L-F! gas suppliers usually
determine the size and materials used
on their system.
c
If
IOCUI COdeS
permit, a new
_r. A.G.A. design-certified, 4-5 foot
iong, 112" 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.
I
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.
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
m
The inlet pressure to the
reaulator should be as follows
for both operation and checking
regulator setting:
NATUR&@AS:.
Set pressure 6 inches
-Maximum pressure14 incnes
L.F? GAS:
Set pressure 11 inches
Maximum Dressure 14 inches
I
Line pressure testing:
,I Testing above l/2 lb 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 greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing at YZ lb 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 tQe gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Electrical Shock Hazard
l
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l
If cold water pipe is interrupted by
plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other
insulating materials, Do Not use for
grounding.
l
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l
Do Not modify the power supply
cord plug. If it does not fit 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 an 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
:ould 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.
Electronrc rgnrtion systems operate
within a wide voltage limit, 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 appliarlce
must be grounded. This appliance is
equipped 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.

Adjust the levellng legs
n approximately l/4' or to a
point where the range base does not
touch tl- floor.
Insert backguard supports
into holder on the sides of
. the range. Press backguard
untijlocked into place.
Lift cooktop and insert
