See Electrical Connections in this section.Do not install this product with an air curtainhood or other range hood that operates byblowing air down on the cooktop. This airflowmay interfere with operation of the gas burnersresulting in fire or explosion hazard.1 GAS SUPPLYWARNING Fire Hazard: Do not usea flame to check for gas leaks.WARNING Explosion Hazard: Donot exceed 25 ft-lbs of torque when makinggas line connections. Overtightening maycrack the pressure regulator resulting in fireor explosion hazard.Gas Pressure RegulatorYou must use the gas pressure regulator suppliedwith this range. For proper operations the inletpressure to the regulator should be as follows:Natural Gas:Minimum pressure: 6” of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 13” of Water ColumnPropane Gas:Minimum pressure: 11” of Water ColumnMaximum pressure: 13” of Water ColumnIf you are not sure about the inlet pressurecontact local gas supplier.Shut off the main gas supply valve beforedisconnecting the old range and leave it offuntil the new hook-up has been completed.Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gasappliances when you turn the gas back on.Because hard piping restricts movement ofthe range, the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal appliance connector isrecommended unless local codes require ahard-piped connection.If the hard piping method is used, you mustcarefully align the pipe; the range cannot bemoved after the connection is made.To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compoundon, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*around, all male (external) pipe threads.A. Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas linein an easily accessed location outside of therange. Make sure everyone operating therange knows where and how to shut off thegas supply to the range.B. Install male 1/2” flare union adapter to the1/2” NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator.Use a backup wrench on the regulator fittingto avoid damage.C. Install male 1/2” or 3/4” flare union adapterto the NPT internal thread of the manualshut-off valve, taking care to back-up theshut-off valve to keep it from turning.D. Connect flexible metal appliance connectorto the adapter on the range. Position rangeto permit connection at the shut-off valve.E. When all connections have been made, makesure all range controls are in the off positionand turn on the main gas supply valve.Use a liquid leak detector at all joints andconnections to check for leaks in the system.When using pressures greater than 1/2 psigto pressure test the gas supply system of theresidence, disconnect the range and individualshut-off valve from the gas supply piping. Whenusing pressures of 1/2 psig or less to pressuretest the gas supply system, simply isolate therange from the gas supply system by closingthe individual shut-off valve.When checking for proper operation of theregulator, the inlet pressure must be at least 1”greater than the operating (manifold) pressureas given on rating label of product.*Teflon: Registered trademark of DuPont2 ELECTRICALCONNECTIONSWARNING Shock Hazard: Thisappliance must be properly grounded.Failure to do so can result in electric shock.Electrical Requirements - 120-volt, 60 Hertz,properly grounded dedicated circuit protectedby a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or timedelay fuse.NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wiredexternal switches that shut off power to theappliance are not recommended for this product.GroundingThe power cord of this appliance is equippedwith a three-prong (grounding) plug which plugsinto a standard three-prong grounding wallreceptacle to minimize the possibility of electricshock hazard from this appliance.The customer should have the wall receptacleand circuit checked by a qualified electrician tomake sure the receptacle is properly grounded.Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle isencountered, it is the personal responsibility andobligation of the customer to have it replaced witha properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
