Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
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
edition* 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.
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.

Usea new AGAor CSA approved gas supply line.
Install a shut=offvalve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP,have a qualified personmake 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.

Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for
elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For assistance when
installingthe 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 instructionsare
provided on pages 13-15. The model/serial rating plate
located 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
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.R gas, piping or tubing sizecan
be 1/2" minimum. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may
result in insufficientgas supply. Usually, LR gas suppliers
determine the size and materials used inthe 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
newAGA or CSA design-certified, 1/2" or 3/4" I.D.,
flexible metal appliance connector isrecommended 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.P.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 less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Check operation
Electronic ignition system
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic ignitors in place
of standing pilots. When a cooktop control knob isturned
to the "LIGHT" position, the system creates a spark to light
the burner.This sparking continues until the control knob
isturned to the desired setting.
When the oven control is set to the desired setting, a series
of sparks lights the oven burner.The sparking will stop
when burner gas lights. Sparking will again occur to re-light
the burner everytime the burner cycles back on again.
Check operation of cooktop
.,After air has been purged from gas line, push in
and turn each surface unit control knob to "LIGHT"
position.The flame should light within 4 seconds.Turn
control knob to "HIGH" position after burner
lights.
Checkeachcooktop burner for proper flame.
The small inner cone should have a very
distinct blue flame 1/4" (6 ram) to 1/2" (13 mm)
long.The outer cone is not as distinct as the
inner cone.
=Push in and turn each cooktop control knob
from "LIGHT" to "LOW" setting quickly.The low flame
should be a minimum, steady blue flame. If flame needs
to be adjusted, turn control knob to the "LOW" setting
and remove control knob. Insert a small flat-blade
screwdriver into the valve stem. Turn the valve screw to
obtain the smallest flame that will not go out when the
control of a cold burner is quickly turned from "HIGH" to
"LOW': Repeat for other cooktop burners as needed.
Check operation of oven burner
