Gas Supply Requirements:
Type of Gas
Natural gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA 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
oven frame behind the left side of the broiler door 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:
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 different 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 pipe to the range
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient
gas supply. 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.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must
be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
● If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft (122 to
152.4 cm) long, ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) or ³⁄₄" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal
appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas
supply line.
● A ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread 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 tubing when moving the
range.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings 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.
● Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutof valve. This
valve should be located in the same room but external to the range
opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. 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 to the range.

Electrical Requirements:
● 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.
● This range is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong ground
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard the cord must be plugged into a
grounded 3 prong outlet.
● 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 range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will not operate
if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.
