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 1.3 cm (1/2″) flare union adapter to the 1.3 cm (1/2″) NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of regulator. On models equipped with standard twin burners, install the male pipe thread end of the 1.3 cm (1/2″) flare union adapter to the 1.3 cm (1/2″) NPT internal thread at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a back-up wrench on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range from the front, remove the 90° elbow for easier installation.

3.Install male 1.3 cm (1/2″) or 1.9 cm (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.

3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (on some models)

Electrical Requirements

220-volt, 50 or 60 Hertz (depending on your model), 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.

Grounding

IMPORTANT—FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
