ElectricalShockHazard

Pluginto 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.

if codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path isadequate and that the outlet is correctly
polarized.

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 iscorrectly grounded,

the outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to see if

it is wired with correct polarity.
Important:This range isequipped 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" Page3, for

recommended location of electrical outlet.

Recommended

ground method

For personal safety, this range isequipped 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 edi-

tion* or CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part

1,-- 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.

Usea new C8A approved gas supply line.

Install a shut=offvalve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.

if connected to LP,have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 13" 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 codesand ordinances.
This installation must conform with localcodes and

ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must
conform with American National Standard, National Fuel

Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 -- latest edition* or CAN/CGA-B149

-- latest edition* installationcodes.

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 isdesign-certified by CSA

International for use with Natural gas or, after proper
conversion, for use with L. R gas. This range is factory set
for use with Natural gas. Gas conversion instructionsare
provided on pages 12-14. The model/serial rating plate locat-
ed 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 avail-
able, 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.R gas, piping or tubing sizecan

be 1/2" minimum. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficient gas supply. Usually, LR gas suppliers

determine the size and materials used in the system.
Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.R gas must be

used on pipe threads only.

Flexible metal appliance connector: If local codes permit, a
new 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 flexible metal tubing
when moving the range.

manual shutoff valve __

"open" position ._ _.,_ _

Shutoff valve:The supply line must be equipped with a man-
ual shutoff valve.This valve should be located in the same

room asthe 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 block 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 inchesW.C.
Maximum pressure: 14 inchesW.C.

L.R GAS:

Minimum pressure: 11inchesW.C.
Maximum pressure: 14 inchesW.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 kPa).

Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi gauge
(14"WCP} or lower--The range must be isolatedfrom 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 lessthan 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
