C n This range is equipped for use with NATURAL gas only and is design- certified by A.G.A.

D n Provide a gas supply line of 3/4” rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on long runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe- joint compounds made for use with NATURAL and L.P. gas must be used.

E n If local codes permit, A.G.A.

design-certified flexible metal tubing is

recommended for connecting this range to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible tubing when moving the range. A l/2” male pipe thread is needed for connection to pressure regulator female pipe threads,

Fn The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block access to shutoff valve.

G n If rigid pipe is used as a gas supply 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.

H n The aas supplv pressure for

checking the regulator’setting is to be at least 7” W.C.(natural gas), Maximum supply pressure for Natural Gas must not exceed 14” W.C. in

accordance with a regulator setting of 6” W.C.

In Line pressure testing:

Testing above l/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 in excess of l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing at l/2 psi (gauge)

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 l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Electrical requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

b Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

B If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other insulating materials, Do Not use for grounding.

B Do Not ground to a gas pipe.

n Do Not modify the power supply cord plug. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

mDo Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in an electrical shock.

mDo Not use an extension cord with this appliance.

b 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.

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified

electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15ampere, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding 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 is also located on the bottom of the storage drawer.

Recommended grounding method

For personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, grounding- type wall receptacle, grounded in

accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition”, and all local codes and ordinances, (See Figure 1.) If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Venting requfrkments

Ductwork needed for left side venting is not included.

Fire Hazard

0 Venting system must terminate to the outside.

l Do Not terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.

l Do Not use 4” laundry-type wall caps.

Failure to follow recommended venting instructions may result in a fire.

Determine which venting method to use. Ductwork can extend either through the rear wall, left side or floor. All transitions and ductwork needed to vent to rear of range are supplied with range. To vent through the floor, use floor vent kit supplied. To vent to left side of range, a separate venting kit (Kit No. 4315772) must be used and is available from your dealer or authorized parts distributor.

The length of the ductwork and

number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient

performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do Not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the duct system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around cap. Figures 2 - 7 show common venting methods and types of materials needed.

Flexible ductwork is Not

recommended. If it is used, calculate each foot of flexible ductwork as two feet of straight metal ductwork.

Flexible elbows count twice as much as standard elbows. Use metal ductwork only.

Use ductwork cutout dimensions shown in Figures 2 - 7. If the ductwork cutout location falls over a joist or stud, a supporting frame must be constructed. Do Not cut joist or stud.

NOTE: Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts.
