Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

• Do not connect to the electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.

• Disconnect power to the junction box before making the electrical connection.

• This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding connector should be connected to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the appliance.

• Do not use the gas supply line for grounding the appliance.

Failure to do any of the above could result in a

fire, personal injury or electrical shock.

Grounding Instructions

For appliances connected to a junction box, use U.L.listed conduit connector. Complete electrical connection according to local codes and ordinances.

Figure 4

Electrical Connection to the Residence Electrical System

The appliance should be connected directly to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire). Locate the junction box to allow 2 to 3 feet of slack in the line so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the conduit.

A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance.

1. Where local codes permit connecting the cabinet-grounding conductor to the neutral (white) junction box wire (see Figure 5)

A. Disconnect the power supply. B. Connect together the 3 wires: green (bare) and

white appliance cable wires and the neutral (white) wire in the junction box.

Cabinet Construction (Electrical Requirements)

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

When unpacking the range, do not discard the four (4) shipping bolts. These are to be replaced on the unit for use as leveling legs and height adjustments.

If the countertop opening width is greater than the minimum cutout width, adjust the 1/4" (0.64 cm)

dimension. Countertop must be level. Place a level on the

countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If the countertop is not level, the range will not be level. The oven must be level for satisfactory baking results. Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of countertop opening.

Gas Supply – Installation

When shipped from the factory, this unit is designed to operate on 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure. A convertible pressure regulator is connected to the range manifold and MUST be connected in series with the gas supply line. To access the regulator, remove the drawer.

For proper operation, the maximum inlet pressure to the regulator should be no more than 14" of water column pressure (3.5 kPa).

The inlet pressure to the regulator must be at least 1" (.25 kPa) greater than the regulator manifold pressure setting. The regulator is set for 4" water column (1.0 kPa) Natural gas manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 5" water column (1.25 kPa) Natural gas. For LP/Propane gas, the regulator must be set for 10" water column (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure, the inlet pressure must be at least 11" water column (2.75 kPa).

The supply line should be equipped with an approved shutoff valve (see Figure 7). 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 the shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line.

The gas supply between the shutoff valve and the regulator may be connected by rigid piping or by A.G.A./ C.G.A.-approved flexible metallic union-connected piping where local codes permit use.

The gas supply piping can be through the side wall of the right cabinet. The right side cabinet is an ideal location for the main shutoff valve.

Do not make the connection too tight. The regulator is die cast. Overtightening may crack the regulator resulting in a gas leak and possible fire or explosion.

Assemble the flexible connector from the gas supply pipe to the pressure regulator in order: manual shutoff valve, flare union adapter, flexible connector, flare union adapter, pressure regulator.

The gas supply line to the shutoff valve should be 1/2" or 3/4" solid pipe.

The user must know the location of the main shutoff valve and have easy access to it.

When using flexible gas conduit on the range, allow sufficient slack to pull the range outside the cutout for cleaning or servicing.

NOTE: Do not allow the flexible conduit to get pinched between the wall and the range. To visually check, remove the drawer.

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.

Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks.

Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion.

All openings in the wall or floor where the range is to be installed must be sealed.

Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or supply line.

Check alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not been moved.

Disconnect this range and its individual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any

pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column).

Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system

by closing its individual manual shutoff 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 or 14" water column).

LP/Propane Gas Conversion

This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/ Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas.

If you wish to convert your range for use with LP/ Propane gas, use the supplied fixed orifices located in a bag containing the literature marked "FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION." Follow the instructions packaged with the orifices.
