Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
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 use an extension cord.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association,
One Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269
Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure
the range is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. (The model/serial number rating plate is located on the
vertical surface below the control panel on the right.)
Range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 240 volt, 60 Hz., AC only
electrical supply is required on a separate, 30-amp circuit,
fused on both sides of the line.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The
fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the range
specified on the model/serial rating plate located on the
horizontal surface below the control panel.
The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or
nonmetallic sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. The
flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit
breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box.
See "Make Electrical Connection."
Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the range so that the range can
be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the
conduit.
A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end
of the power supply cable (at the cooktop and at the junction
box).
Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range (30 amps).
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
a) Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wiring using
special connectors designed and UL listed for joining
copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector
manufacturer's recommended procedure.
b) Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local
codes and industry-accepted wiring practices.
Gas Supply Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International 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" (36 cm) 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.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes
and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Range cooktop must be connected to a regulated
gas supply.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. The model/
serial rating plate located on the right vertical surface of the
oven door frame has information on the types of gas that can
be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of
gas available, check with the local gas supplier.
LP Gas conversion:
Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas
specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different
gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. To convert to LP
gas, use the LP gas conversion kit provided with your range. The
parts for this kit are in the literature package supplied with the
range.
