Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas leakage in the range or supply line. Disconnect this range and its individual manual shutoff valve from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column). Isolate the range from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column). Electrical Requirements 120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Note: Not recommended to be installed with a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI). Do not use an extension cord with this range. Grounding Instructions IMPORTANT Please read carefully. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3prong grounding wall receptacle (see Figure 7) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance. The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. Preferred Method Grounding type wall receptacle not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord, Disconnect electrical supply cord from wall receptacle before servicing cooktop. Moving the Appliance for Servicing and Cleaning Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service drawer (warmer drawer on some models) and open the oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when replacing the unit into the cutout opening. Replace the drawer, dose the door and switch on the electrical power and gas to the range. 7
