INSTALLATION

When all connections have been made, be sure
all range controls are in the OFF position and the
pressure regulator valve is open before turning
on the main gas supply valve. Gas leaks may
occur in your system and create a hazard. Gas
leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
Check all gas connection joints and fittings for
leaks with a non-corrosive leak detection fluid,
then wipe off.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and
install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use
in accordance with the installation instructions.
WARNING
•
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
•
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of
that system at test pressures in excess of
1
/
2
psi
(3.5 kPa).
•
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing 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
psi (3.5 kPa).

Electrical Requirements
120 Volt, 60 Hz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker, or slow
blow fuse.
If an external electrical source is utilized, the appliance,
when installed, must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-02.
Grounding
IMPORTANT: 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 to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI’s – GFCI’s are not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are
devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit
and automatically switch off power when a threshold
leakage level is detected. These devices must
be manually reset by the consumer. The National
Electrical Code requires the use of GFCI’s in kitchen
receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.
Performance of the range will not be affected
if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but the
occasional resetting of the circuit can become an
annoyance.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Preferred
Method
CAUTION
Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
