Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: The range must be electrically grounded in 
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence 
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 
latest edition.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that 
the ground path is adequate.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
 National Fire Protection Association
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02169-7471
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
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.
The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range.
NOTE: The metal chassis of the range must be grounded in 
order for the control panel to work. If the metal chassis of the 
range is not grounded, no keypads will operate. Check with a 
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the 
metal chassis of the range is grounded.
Gas Supply Requirements
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. 
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
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 ¾" (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 ½" (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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, 
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure 
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water 
column. 
Examples of a qualified person include: 
licensed heating personnel, 
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
