PRESSURE TEST INFORMATION

The maximum allowable supply pressure for the regulator is 14" W.C. The minimum supply

pressure needed to check the regulator setting is 7" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for LP
gas.

--a, WARNING: T.e range and its individual shut-off valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the gas

supply system at test pressures of more than 1/2 psig (pounds per square inch gauge).

The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual

shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures

equal to or greater than 1/2 psig. NOTE: 1/2 psig = 13.855" w.c.

REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS

Failure to remove packaging materials could result in

damage to the appliance. Remove all packing parts from
oven, racks and drawer. Also, remove protective film and

labels on the door, cooktop and backguard. However,

do not remove protective channel from sides of glass
cooktop, if applicable, until later in installation.

Move Range Indoors in Front of Cabinet Opening:

Do not use hand trucks when moving the unpacked range,

as damage to the cooktop may occur.

Protect the Kitchen Floor: Flatten and place a piece of the shipping carton in front

of the installation location to protect the flooring.

PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)

If the countertop area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to the cooktop causing damage and voiding

the warranty. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can withstand
the heat (up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated bythe range.

A. Allow 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between burners and bottom of unprotected wood or metal

cabinet, or allow a 24" (61 cm) minimum when bottom of wood ormetal cabinet is protected by no less
than 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick flame-retardant millboard covered with no less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal
(.015" [.38 mm] thick), .015" (.38 mm) thick stainless steel, .025" (0.64 mm) aluminum or .020"
(0.5 mm) copper.

B. Side wall clearance requirement:

6" (15.2 cm) clearance for models JGSP28, JGS905, JGS968 and PGS968
9½" (24.1 cm) clearance for models PGS908 and PGS975

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over burners, cabinet storage space above the cooktop
should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced

by installing a range hood that projects at least 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets
installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13" (33 cm).

Seal any openings in the wall behind the range and the floor under the range.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

_4,WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.

IMPORTANT: This appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

This appliance must be supplied with 120 VAC / 60 Hz power. It must be connected
to a properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15-amp or 2O-amp circuit breaker or fuse.

We recommend that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard three-prong grounding wall receptacle. The customer should have the wall

receptacle 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 prong (ground) from the
power cord.

Because of potential safety hazards under 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 is a UL-listed 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord, and that the

current-carrying rating of the cord in amperes is equivalent to, or greater than, the branch
circuit rating.

Installation of this product in a mobile home must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280. If this standard does not apply,

you must follow the standard for the Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1 and

Manufactured Home Installations, Sites and Communities and ANSI/NFPA 501A or with
local codes.
