IMPORTANT: Disconnect the range and the

individual shut-off valve from the gas supply piping

system during any pressure testing of that system

at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig. Isolate the

range from the gas supply piping system by closing

the individual manual shut-off valve to the range

during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping

system at test pressures equal to or less than

1/2 psig.
NOTE: This range is equipped with a gas shut-off

valve located on top of the range, beneath the rear

vent. This shut-off valve is to be used in the event

that service is required in the future.

WARNING

Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.

Assure that gas supply is turned off at the

shut-off valve:

• Apply pipe thread sealant to the gas inlet located

at the back of the range. Install the 1/2” pipe

elbow (provided) to the gas inlet.

• Connect 5/8” O.D. flexible metal connector to

gas inlet. Connect the other end of the flexible

connector to the house gas supply.

• Turn on the gas and check for leaks:

– Use a liquid leak detector at all joints

and connections in the system.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord. However, if you

still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely

necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-

type appliance extension cord and that the current

carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent

to, or greater than, the circuit rating.

Grounding

,03257$17³ 3OHDVHUHDGFDUHIXOO\
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard three-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 occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker

is possible.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated

circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit

breaker or time delay fuse.
