INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
TESTING FOR GAS LEAKS
Before turning on the gas, be sure that all range valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn on the gas and check
each joint or connection with a soap and water solution, including the inlet and outlet sides of the regulator.
Never test for leaks with a lighted match or open flame.
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM BY CLOS-
ING ITS INDIVIDUAL MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF
THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM AT TEST PRESSURES EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN 1/2 PSIG
(3.5kPa).
THE APPLIANCE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THAT SYS-
TEM AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 1/2 PSIG (3.5kPa.)
CONNECTING THE RANGE TO ELECTRICITY (SOME MODELS)
Electrical Requirements: 120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15-amp.
or 20-amp. Circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
IMPORTANT: Please read this section carefully. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
GROUNDED
This range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 “Latest Edition” or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-
02.
An external electrical house current is required to
operate the electrical parts of your range. The
range cord has a three prong plug and must be
used with a properly grounded three hole outlet.
If such an outlet is not available, have a qualified
electrician change your present outlet or install a
new one.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BURNS OR SERIOUS PER-
SONAL INJURY THIS UNIT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED AND PLUGGED INTO A
PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG WALL RECEPTACLE. DO NOT UNDER ANY CHI-
CUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE RANGE CORD.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER POLARIZATION MAY CREATE A HAZARDOUS CONDI-
TION.
Have a qualified electrician verify that the outlet meets all requirements. Remember to disconnect power at
the main circuit breaker and remove the electrical plut from the outlet before repairing any electrical compo-
nent of your range. When removing the plug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
