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 code permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.

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

Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

■ A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A 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 V 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
qualied 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 propane, 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 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.

Propane Gas Conversion:

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

specied 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 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the

range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufcient gas supply. With Propane gas, piping or
tubing size can be 1/2" (1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, Propane
gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the
system.

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

■ If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certied, 4 to

5ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm)
I.D. (inside diameter), exible metal appliance connector
may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.

■ A 1/2" (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 exible metal tubing when

moving the range.

Rigid pipe connection:

The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe ttings
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 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" (12.7 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP

Propane Gas:

Minimum pressure: 11" (27.9 cm) WCP
Maximum pressure: 14" (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet

pressure.

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).

Gas Supply Pressure Testing

■ Must include a shutoff valve:

Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible
location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the range.
