Gas supply
requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
A WARNING
Fire Hazard
• Range must be connected to a
regulated gas supply.
• LP. gas supply must Not exceed a
pressure of 14" water column. This
must be checked by a qualified
technician before installing this
range.
• Do Not use an open flame to test
for leaks from gas connections.
• New, A.G.A. design-certified
flexible gas line should be used
when local codes permit.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in a fire, explosion or
personal injury.
G-
This installation must conform with local
codes and ordinances. In the absence
of local codes, installations must
conform with American National
Standard, National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 -latest edition**.
В
Input ratings shown on the serial/rating
plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet.
For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings
are reduced at a rote of 4% for each
1,000 feet above sea level.
This range is equipped for use with
NATURAL gas. It is design-certified by
A.G.A. for NATURAL and L.P. gases with
appropriate conversion. The serial/rating
plate, located under the maintop, has
information on the type of gas that can
be used. If this information does not
agree with the type of gas available,
check with the local gas supplier. See
Panel E for L.P. gas conversion
instructions.
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" rigid
pipe to the range location. A smaller
size pipe on long runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint
compounds made for use with L.P. gas
must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or
tubing size can be 1/2" minimum. L.P.
gas suppliers usually determine the size
and materials used on the system.
^ ■ If local codes permit, a new,
A.G.A. design-certified, 4-5 foot long,
1 /2" or 3/4" I.D., flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended for
connecting this range to the gas supply
line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible
tubing when moving the range. A 1 /2"
male pipe thread is needed for
connection to pressure regulator female
pipe threads.

"open position”«
If rigid pipe is used as a gas
supply line, a combination of
pipe fittings must be used to
obtain an in-line connection to the
range. All strains must be removed from
the supply and fuel lines so range will be
level and in line.
H
The inlet pressure to the regulator
should be as follows for both operation
and checking regulator setting:
NATURAL GAS:
Set pressure 6 inches
Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches
LP. GAS:
Set pressure 11 inches
Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches
I.
Line pressure testing:
Testing above 1 /2 psi (gauge)
The range and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected 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 greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
Testing at 1/2 psi (gauge)
The range must be isolated 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).
Electrical
requirements
(If model is so equipped.)
A WARNING
Shock Hazard
• Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
• Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
• Do Not modify the power supply
cord plug. If it does not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• Do Not have
a
fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in electrical shock.
• Do Not use an extension cord with
this appliance.
• Check with a qualified electrician it
you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and
a
separate grounding
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-ampere,
fused electrical supply is required. A
time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that
a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Eiectronic ignition systems operate
within wide voltage limits, but proper
grounding and polarity are necessary. In
addition to checking that the outlet
provides 120-voff power and is correctly
grounded, the outlet must be checked
by a qualified electrician to see if it is
wired with correct polarity.
A wiring diagram is included in the
literature package. The wiring diagram
is also located on the back of the
range.
Recommended
grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This appliance is
manufactured with a power supply
cord having a 3-prong grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating,
3-prong, grounding-type, wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, and all
local codes and ordinances. (See Figure
1.) If a mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have
a properly grounded, 3-prong, wall
receptacle installed by a qualified
electrician.

gas supply
line
The supply line shall be equipped with
an approved 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 shutoff
valve.
