Electrical Requirements 120 volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Note: This range is not recommended to be installed with a Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI). Do not use an extension cord with this range. Manual Shutoff Valve Open position Figure 4 Once regulator is in place, open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for gas to move through the gas line. Check for leaks, After connecting the range to the gas supply, check the system for leaks with a manometer. If a manometer is not available, turn on the gas supply and use a liquid leak detector (or soap and water) at all joints and connections to check for leaks. Do not use a flame to check for leaks from gas connections. Checking for leaks with a flame may result in a fire or explosion. Tighten all connections as necessary to prevent gas leakage in the range or supply line. Disconnect this range from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures greater than I/2 psig (3.5 kPa or 14" water column). 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 5) 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 rece Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong. 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). 5. LP/Propane Gas Conversion This appliance can be used with Natural gas or LP/Propane gas. It is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. The range comes supplied with fixed orifices for converting it to LP gas. These orifices are located in a bag marked FOR LP/PROPANEGAS CONVERSION.The instructions for surface, oven and broil burner conversion are packaged with the orifices. Figure 5 Power supply cord with 3prong grounding plug. Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded 3prong wall receptacle. 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 range. The conversion must be performed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all local codes and requirements. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
