Electrical 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 accor- dance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence

of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recom- mended 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 recom- mended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range be provided.

■This range is equipped 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, grounded outlet.

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

■The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range.

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.

Gas Supply Requirements

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.

Type of Gas

Natural Gas:

This range is design-certified by the 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 broiler 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 ³⁄₄" rigid pipe to the range loca- tion. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insuffi- cient gas supply. Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be ¹⁄₂" minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
