I N S TA L L AT I O N BEFORE DELIVERY In order to be able to install your range or cooktop as soon as it is delivered, you must ensure that in your kitchen, the gas and electrical supplies are ready for it. 1. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS 1.1. Ventilation The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
USA & CANADA Electrical - Gas supply INSTALLATION 2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY Voltage : 240 V a.c., single-phase, 3 wire system Safety: The range, when instal led must be electrical ly grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70 in the USA and the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, in Canada as applicable.
Anti-Tip Device (only Château 90 & Château 75 models) WARNING Ranges Château 90 and Château 75 must be secured by Anti-Tip bracket supplied. See instructions to install (supplied with bracket). Unless properly installed, the range could be tipped by leaning on the door. Injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

The overall wattage of your appliance is also indicated on the nameplate label and on the warranty certificate (See item 1 page 41 for the location of the nameplate label). Wiring must conform to National Electric Codes.
4. Insert the strain relief device into the hole and push it to the left. Tight up the power cord and strain relief device with the screw. 5. Install the power cord: attach the wires to the terminal block as follows: - neutral (white wire) to N, - the L1 and L2 (red and black wire) to P1 and P2, - the ground to T (yellow / green). NOTE: Make sure the wires are completely inserted into the terminals and secure connections are made. 6.
USA & CANADA Gas connection INSTALLATION If the range is to be used on LP gas, a qualified LP installer must convert it. We recommend that the range be converted before installation. For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 6’’ and 10’’ of water column (1,49 and 2,49 kPa). For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 12’’ and 13’’ of water column (3 and 3,24 kPa).
The appliance must be connected to the type of gas shown on the rating plate of the appliance. The gas supply line must be at least a 1/2 inch pipe. On al l pipe joints use sealing compound that does not react to propane gas. Check gas leaks by using a liquid leak detector. Do not use an open flame Note: Propane gas cylinders must never be located inside your home. INSTALLER Leave this manual with the appliance and advise the customer to keep it for future reference.
