Flexible Connector

The gas connection can also be made with an AGA or
CGA design certified flexible connector, two adapters

WARNING
To avoid the risk of a gas leak or fire, use only a new
flexible connector that is design certified by the AGA
or CGA. Do not reuse an old connector. Do not reuse
a connector if the appliance is moved.

Manual Shut-Off Valve

A manual shut-off valve must be installed in an
accessible location external to the range. The
consumer must know how and where to turn off the
gas. Seal pipe joints with a pipe joint compound
resistant to the action of natural or LP gas.

Pressure Testing the Gas Supply Line

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the house gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psg (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the house gas
supply piping system by closing the individual manual
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The gas supply pressure for
checking the regulator setting must be at least seven
inches WCP for natural gas and 11 inches WCP for LP
gas.

The installation of this product must conform with local
codes or in the absence of local codes, with the

Power Receptacle Location
The wiring diagram is located on the underside of the
storage drawer.
The receptacle should be checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure it is properly grounded and
polarized. This must be a 120 volt, 60 hertz, properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle protected by a 15
amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the customer's personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded, three-prong wall receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
!
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, burn or serious
personal injury this unit must be properly grounded
and plugged into a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle.
