■ 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 oven 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 in the upper control compartment in a clear plastic bag. Gas Supply Requirements 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. 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 oven location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON®† tape. 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. 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 oven 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 oven. Rigid pipe connection: The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the oven. The rigid pipe must be level with the oven connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so oven will be level and in line. 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 oven must be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Type of Gas Natural gas: This oven is design-certified by CSA International for use with Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas. ■ This oven is factory set for use with Natural gas. See "Gas Conversions" section. The model/serial rating plate located behind the broiler drawer on the right-hand side oven front 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. ■ Must include a shutoff valve: The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room but external to the oven. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the oven. B A C A. Gas supply line B. Shutoff valve "open" position C. To oven †®TEFLON is a registered trademark of E.I.

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 oven must be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural gas:
This oven is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
This oven is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located
behind the broiler drawer on the right-hand side oven front
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 oven
location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in
insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the
action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON
®†
tape.
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.
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 oven 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 oven.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe
fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the oven. The rigid
pipe must be level with the oven connection. All strains must
be removed from the supply and fuel lines so oven will be level
and in line.
Must include a shutoff valve:
The supply line must be equipped with a manual shutoff valve.
This valve should be located in the same room but external to
the oven. It should be in a location that allows ease of opening
and closing. Do not block access to shutoff valve. The valve is
for turning on or shutting off gas to the oven.
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
