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 or 
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that will 
not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly polarized.
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
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
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.
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. 
The wiring diagram is located on the underside of the storage 
drawer or below the warming drawer in a clear plastic bag.
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 or CAN/CGA B149 - 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 
behind the storage drawer on the right-hand side oven door 
frame 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.
Flexible metal appliance connector:
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 
4 to 5 ft (122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or 
¾" (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may 
be used for connecting range to the gas supply line. 
A ½" (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.
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.
