Gas supply requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new AGA or CSA approved gas supply line.
Install a shutoff valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to L.P. have a qualified person make 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.
In the State of Massachusetts, the following installation instructions apply:
•Installations and repairs must be performed by a qualified or licensed contractor, plumber, or gasfitter qualified or licensed by the State of Massachusetts.
•If using a ball valve, it shall be a T-handle type.
•A flexible gas connector, when used, must not exceed 3 feet.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: Range must be connected to a regulated gas supply.
This installation must conform with local A. codes 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 CANI- B149 — latest edition * installation codes.
Input ratings shown on the model/serial B. rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000
feet (609.6 m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet (304.8 m) above sea level. (Not applicable for Canada.)
This range is equipped for use with C. Natural gas. It is design-certified by
AGA/CSA for Natural and L.P. gas with appropriate conversion. The model/serial rating plate, located on the oven frame behind the drawer, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with your KitchenAid dealer.
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) D. rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller
size pipe on long runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds appropriate for use with L.P. gas must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2"
(1.3 cm) minimum. L.P. gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
*CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575
If local codes permit, a new AGA/CSA E. design-certified, 4-5 foot (122 -152.4 cm)
long, 1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is recommended for connecting this range to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible tubing when moving the range. A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection to pressure regulator female pipe threads.
shutoff valve “open” position
to gas supply
to range
The supply line shall be equipped with an F. approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room, but external
to the range, and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block access to shutoff valve.
If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply G. line, a combination of pipe fittings
must be used to obtain an in-line connection to the range. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.
The regulator setting must be checked at H. a minimum of 1 inch water column above the manifold pressure. The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for operation:
Natural gas:
Manifold pressure — 5 inches
Maximum pressure — 14 inches
L.P. gas:
Manifold pressure — 10 inches
Maximum pressure — 14 inches
I. | Line pressure testing: |
Testing above 1/2 psi (gauge): The range |
| and its individual 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).
Testing at 1/2 psi (gauge) or lower: The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
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.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure whether the range is properly grounded.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere, fused electrical circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range be provided.
Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper ground and polarity are necessary. In addition to checking that the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded, the outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is wired with correct polarity.
The wiring diagram is included in the literature package. The wiring diagram can also be found 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 range is grounded.
Recommended ground method
For personal safety, 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, 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 grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or servicemen if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
