•A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is required. A time-
delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this range be provided.
•Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper
grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that the outlet provides 120-volt
power and is correctly grounded.
•This gas range is not required to be plugged into a GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit
Interrupter) outlet. It is recommended that you not plug an electric spark
ignition gas range or any other major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet as it may
cause the GFCI to trip during normal cycling.
•Performance of this range will not be aected if operated on a GFCI-protected
circuit. However, occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible
due to the normal operating nature of electronic gas ranges.
•The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range in a clear plastic bag.

If connected to LP, have a quali†ed person make sure gas pressure
does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water column.
Examples of a quali†ed person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or †re.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT: This installation must conform with all local codes and ordinances.
In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with American National
Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 –
latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to the
manufacturers instructions.
TYPE OF GAS
Natural gas:
This range is design-certified by SA International for use with Natural gas or, after
proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
•This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas Conversions”
section. The model/serial rating plate located on the right side oven door trim
has information on the types of gas that can be used. If the types of gas listed do
not include the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier.

LP gas conversion:
IMPORTANT: Conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.
No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the
model/serial rating plate for use with a dierent gas without consulting the serving
gas supplier. See “Gas Conversions” section.
GAS SUPPLY LINE
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4" (1.9 cm) rigid pipeo the range location. A smaller size
pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas sup y. Pipe-joint compounds that
resist the action of LP gas must be used. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2
(1.3 cm) minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in
the system.
Gas Shut-o Valve:
•The gas supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. his valve
should be located in the same room but external to the range. It should be in a
location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff
valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas o the range.

1/2" (1.3 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal applia onnector may be used
for connecting range to the gas supply line.
•A 1/2" (1.3 cm) male pipe t ead is needed for connection to the female pipe
threads of the inlet to the appliance pressure regulator.
•Do not kink or damage the flexible metal ubing when moving the range.
13

Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fi tings to obtain an in-line
connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All
strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in
line.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet pressure
to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
Natural gas:
Minimum pressure: 5" Water Column Pressure (WCP)
Maximum pressure: 10.5" WCP
LP gas:
Minimum pressure: 8" WCP
Maximum pressure: 13" WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft
(609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each
1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE TESTING
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1" Water Column Pressure
(WCP) above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 0.5 psi gauge (14"WCP)
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be dis onnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 0.5 psi gauge (14"WCP) or lower
The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during a y pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
