Do not locate your range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air
for combustion and ventilation are not blocked by
carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household units, is heavy and
can be installed on soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on
this type of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation
system that blows air downward toward the range.
This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.

When the floor covering ends at the front of the range,
the area that the range will be installed on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the
floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for
cleaning and servicing, as well as proper air flow to the
range.

Also, make sure the floor covering can resist 180°F (82°
C). See the "INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"
(included in this manual).

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
resist the heat generated (up to 200°F/93°C) by the range.
See the "INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"
(included in this manual).

LOCATION

INSTA L L ATION INSTRU C T I O N S

GAS PIPE AND ELECTRICAL OUTLET LOCATIONS

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
5” of water column on natural gas or 10” of water
column on LP.

Make sure you are supplying your range with the type of
gas for which it is configured.

This range is convertible for use on natural or LP gas.
When using this range on LP gas, conversion must be
made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to
operate the range.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied
to the regulator must be between 5” and 13” of water
column.

For LP gas, the pressure supplied to the regulator must be
between 10” and 13” of water column. When checking for
correct operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must
be at least 1” more than the operating (manifold) pressure
as given above.

The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range
must remain in the supply line regardless of which type of
gas is being used.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 5/8”
and a max of 5ft. In Canada, flexible connectors must be
single wall metal connectors less than 6 feet in length.

Gas Flow into Range

Shut off the range gas supply valve before removing
the old range and leave it off until the new hook-up
has been completed.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal
appliance connector should be used unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.

NEVER reuse an old connector when installing a new
range.

To protect against gas leaks, use a qualified pipe joint
sealant on all external threads.

Install male 1/2” 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.

Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the 1/2” NPT
internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a
backup wrench on the pressure regulator fitting to
prevent damage.

Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-off valve.

When all connections have been made, be sure all
range controls are in the off position and turn on the
main gas supply valve. Gas leaks may occur in your
system and result in a dangerous situation. Gas leaks
may not be detected by smell alone.

Check all gas connection joints and fittings for leaks
with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid, then wipe off.

Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install
an UL approved gas detector. Install and use in
accordance with Installation instructions.

GROUNDING

IMPORTANT: FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

120 Volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow blow fuse.

3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.

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.

A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) 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. The
National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen
receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.

Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a
GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance can occur.

DO NOT use an adapter plug because disconnecting of the
power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.

The installation of appliances designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard
is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home
Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or
with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must
be in accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile
Home Installation Code.

Ensure proper ground
exists before use

PREFERRED
METHOD

Seal any openings in the wall and floor after electrical and gas supplies are completed.

4. SEAL THE OPENINGS

CAUTION:

The customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.

WARNING!

POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE
SERVICING THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
