IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building materials are not
designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for baking

and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to
make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or
sustain other damage.

EmectricaI Shock Hazard

Pmuginto 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 resumt 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:

• 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.

• 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.

Flexible metal appliance connector:

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

4 - 5 ft (122 - 152.4 cm) long, 1/2"(1.3 cm) or
sA" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

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.

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 frame behind the storage drawer 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 sA" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in

insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the
action of LP gas must be used. Do not useTEFLON °t tape.
With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"(1.3 cm)
minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and
materials used in the system.

• A r/2" (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.

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. 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.

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.
