ENGLISH
NoTE
•
The gas pressure regulator valve is open when
shipped. If the range does not work properly
after installation, make sure the regulator valve
is still open.
3
Connect a flexible metal appliance connector to
the adapter on the range. Position the range to
permit connection at the shut-off valve.
4
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.
•
Isolate the range from the gas supply system by
closing its individual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than

Electrical Connections
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.
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.
