Recommended ground method

For personal safety, this range is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3 prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* and all local codes and ordinances.

If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly polarized and grounded, 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

*National Fire Protection Association

One Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts, 02269

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 ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you

are not sure range is properly grounded. 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 “Cutout dimensions/requirements,” Page 3, for recommended location of electrical outlet.

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For assistance when installing the range at higher elevations, contact your local service company.

Type of 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 8-9. The model/serial rating plate located on the frame behind the broiler drawer 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 supply line: 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-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas must be used on pipe threads only.

In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:

• Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by the State of Massachusetts.

• If using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type.

• A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.

Install a shutoff valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified

person make sure gas pressure does not exceed 14" 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.
