ElectricaI Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3=prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
tf codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a quaJified
electrician determine that the ground path is
adequate and that the outlet is correcdy
polarized.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure range is proper_ygrounded.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 10-ampere, fused
electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide
voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity
are necessary. In addition to checking that the
outlet is correctly grounded, the outlet must be
checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is
wired with correct polarity.
Important: This range is equipped with an
electronic ignition system that will not operate if
plugged into an outlet that is not properly
polarized.
A wiring diagram is included on the back of
the range.
See "Cabinet dimensions/requirements," Page 2,

Typeof gas: This range is design-certified by
CSA International for use with Natural gas or,
after proper conversion, for use with L P. gas.
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas.
Gas conversion instructions are provided on
pages 7-8. The model/serial rating plate located
on the frame behind the storage drawer or
broiler door has information on the type of gas
that can be used. If the type of gas listed does
not agree with the type of gas available, check
with the local gas supplier. Conversion must be
done by a qualified service technician.
Gas supplyline: Provide a gas supply line of 3/4"
rigid pipe to the range location. With L.P.gas,
piping or tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. A
smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Usually, L.P. gas
suppliers determine the size and materials used
in the system.
Pipe=iointcompounds made for use with LP. gas
must be used on pipe threads only.
Flexibb metaI appliance connector: If local codes
permit, a new AGA or CSA design-certified, 1/2"
or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is
recommended for connecting range to the gas
supply line. A 1/2" male pipe thread nipple is
needed for connection to pressure regulator
female pipe threads. Do Not kink or damage the
f_exible meta_ tubing when moving the range.
supply and fuel lines so range will
be level and in line.
manual shutoff valve __
"open" position .___
Shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped
with a manual shutoff valve. 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. The valve is for turning on
or shutting off gas to the range. Do Not Mock
access to shutoff valve.
Pressure regulator: The gas pressure regulator
supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows for
proper operation:
NATURAL GAS:
Minimum pressure: 5 inches W.C.
Maximum pressure: 14 inches W.C.
LP. GAS:
Minimum pressure: 11 inches W.C.
Maximum pressure: 14 inches W.C.
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure
about the inlet pressure.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi gauge
{14"WCP) -- The range and its individual manual
shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures
greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPaL
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
{!4" WCP) or _ower- The range must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPaL
