ELECTRICAL SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

An electrical ground is required on this appli- ance.

If a cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets, or other insulating materi- als, do not use for grounding.

Do not ground to a gas pipe.

Do not change the power supply cord plug. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Do not use a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. It could result in an electrical shock.

Do not use an extension cord with this range.

Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

Equipment & Property Damage

Use a separate power line for this gas range, and make sure that you connect it to the proper voltage source. Failure to do so could result in improper operation, equipment, or property dam- age.

GENERAL

If codes permit, and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

The following information applies to the gas range wiring:

•A 3-wire, single phase, 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC- only electrical supply is required on a sepa- rate 10-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse, or circuit breaker, is recommended. The fuse must be sized as per local codes in accordance with the electri- cal rating of the appliance specified on the model/serial rating plate, which is located on the frame behind the storage door panel.

•The gas range must be connected with cop- per wire only.

•Wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70—latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances. Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance. Copies of the standards listed above may be obtained from:

*National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

•The gas range should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable that extends from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box.

•Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the appliance so that the appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the conduit.

•A U.L.-listed, 1/2" conduit connector must be provided at the junction box.

•A wiring diagram is located in the “Tech Tips” (Section 5) of this manual.
