36" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4
Preferred Method
Grounding type
wall receptacle
Do not, under any
circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
Power supply cord with
3-prong grounding plug.
Figure 5
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and
LP/Propane gas to seal all gas connections. If flexible
connectors are used, be certain connectors are not kinked.
The supply line must be equipped with an approved
manual 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 the shutoff valve. The valve is for
turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.

to appliance
From gas supply line
Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to
move through the gas line.
Check for leaks. After connecting the range to the gas
supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer.
If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply
and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all
joints and connections to check for leaks.
Do not use a ame to check for leaks
from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a ame
may result in a re or explosion.
Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the range or supply line.
Disconnect this range from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at
test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14"
water column).
Isolate the range 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 or 14" water column).
5. LP/Propane Gas Conversion
This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/
Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use
with natural gas.
The range comes supplied with xed orices for
converting it to LP gas. These orices are located in a
bag marked FOR LP/PROPANE GAS CONVERSION. The
instructions for surface, oven and broil burner conversion
are packaged with the orices.
The conversion must be performed by a qualied
service technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and
requirements. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property damage.
The qualied agency performing this work assumes
responsibility for the conversion.
Failure to make the appropriate
conversion can result in serious personal injury and
property damage.
6. Electrical Requirements
120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay
fuse. NOTE: This range is not recommended to be
installed with a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI).
Do not use an extension cord with this range.
Grounding Instructions
IMPORTANT Please read carefully.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 5) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
the appliance.
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by
a qualied electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Disconnect electrical supply cord from
wall receptacle before servicing range.
