INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

2CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS (continued)

1.Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure everyone operating the range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.

2.Install male 1/2″ flare union adapter to

″NPT internal thread at inlet ofthe 1/2

regulator. Use a backup wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

3.Install male 1/2″ or 3/4″ flare union adapter to the NPT internal thread of the manual shut- off valve, taking care to back-up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

4.Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at the shut-off valve.

5.When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in the off position and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test the gas supply system of the residence, disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate the range from the gas supply system by closing the individual shut-off valve.

3ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (on some models)

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong grounding

wall receptacle to

minimize the possibility of electric shock

hazard from this

appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
