or any other appliance.

– WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Do not try to light any appliance.

•

Do not touch any electrical switch.

•

Do not use any phone in your building.

•

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

•

instructions. If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

•

– Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or

the gas supplier.

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell. Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA. For more information, contact your gas supplier. If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions.

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.

Electrical Requirements

Gas Supply Requirements

WARNING

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.

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

This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association

One Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

CSA International

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is

required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range be provided.

■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,

but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.

■ This gas range is not required to be plugged into a GFCI

(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. It is recommended that you not plug an electric spark ignition gas range or any other major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet as it may cause the GFCI to trip during normal cycling.

■ Performance of this range will not be affected if operated on a

GFCI-protected circuit. However, occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible due to the normal operating nature of electronic gas ranges.

■ The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range in a

clear plastic bag. NOTE: The metal chassis of the range must be grounded in

order for the control panel to work. If the metal chassis of the range is not grounded, no keypads will operate. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the metal chassis of the range is grounded.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line. Install a shut-off valve. Securely tighten all gas connections. If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure

gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) 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.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes

and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest edition.

IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural gas:

This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.

■ This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas

Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located on the oven frame behind the top left side of the oven door has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

LP gas conversion:

Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician. No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas

specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.

Gas Supply Line

■ Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the

range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ½" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.

NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

®†

tape.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified,

4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

■ A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection

to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.

■ Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when

moving the range.

Rigid pipe connection: The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe

fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.

Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" WCP)

The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

The range must be isolated 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack Range

WARNING

■ Must include a shutoff valve:

The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.

A. Gas supply line B. Shutoff valve “open” position C. To range

Gas 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" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP

LP gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" WCP Maximum pressure: 14" WCP Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet

pressure.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from range.

2. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.

3. Do not remove the shipping base at this time.

A. Shipping base

4. On Ranges Equipped with Storage Drawers:

Remove the storage drawer. See the “Storage Drawer” section. Use a ¼" drive ratchet to lower the rear leveling legs one-half turn. Use a wrench or pliers to lower front leveling legs one-half turn.

Burner Input Requirements

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).

For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
