Electrical Connections; Ground Fault Curcuit Interrupters - Kenmore 362. 7262:F: Use & Care Manual

1. Installa manual g aslineshut-off v alveinthe gasline
in an easilyaccessed location outside ofthe range.
Makesure
everyone operating the range knows where
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range,.
2. Install male V2" flare union adapter to the t/4" NPT
internal thread elbow at inlet of pressure regulator°
Use a back-up wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid
damage.
When installing the range from the front, remove the 90 °
elbow for easier installation.
3. Install mate I/2" or 3/4"flare union adapter to the NPT
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care
to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning_
4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range.. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve°
5o When all connections have been made, make sure all
range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve° Use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks in the system_
CAUTION:
Do NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from
the gas supply piping.. When using test pressures of t_
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
the range from the gas supply system by closing the
individual shuFoff valve°

Electrical Connections
(on some models)
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch 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.
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,.
PREFERRED
METHOD i _._-_
L. IU Ensure proper
ground exists
! I! t before use
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.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are 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.
Although the National Electrical Code requires the use of
GFCts in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop
appliances, GFCIs are not required or recommended in a
receptacle serving a gas ranger
Performance of the range will not be affected
if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit, but occasional
nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.
If the breaker trips, power to the range will switch off.
