Electrical Requirements
WARNING
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.
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 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471
CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
- A 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A fused, ground and polarized 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 V power and is correctly grounded.
- This gas range is not required to be plugged into a GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. It is recommended that you do not plug an electric spark ignition gas range or any other major appliance into a GFCI wall outlet as it may cause the GFCI to trip during normal cycling.
- Performance of this range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit. However, occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible due to the normal operating nature of electronic gas ranges.
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
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 propane, 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
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 the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or, in Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 – latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the “Complete Connection” in the “Make gas connection” section from the Owner’s Manual section for the leak testing instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas Conversions” section in the Owner’s Manual. The model/serial/rating plate located on the oven frame behind of the oven door 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.
Propane 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 in the Owner’s Manual.
Gas Supply Line
Provide a gas supply line of 3/4″ (19 mm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With propane gas, piping or tubing size can be 1/2″ (13 mm) minimum. Usually, propane gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of Propane 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 (121.92 to 152.4 cm) long, 1/2″ (13 mm) or 3/4″ (19.05 mm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
-
A 1/2″ (13 mm) 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.
Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the range. The rigid pipe must be level with the range connection. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.
Must include a shut-off valve:
Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in an easily accessible location. Do not block access to shut-off valve. The valve is for turning on or shutting off gas to the cooktop.
A. Gas supply line
B. Shut-off valve “open” position
C. To range
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas pressure regulator supplied with this range must be used. The inlet
pressure to the regulator should be as follows for proper operation:
Natural Gas:
- Minimum pressure: 5″ (12.7 cm) WCP
- Maximum pressure: 14″ (35.5 cm) WCP
Propane Gas:
- Minimum pressure: 11″ (27.9 cm) WCP
- Maximum pressure: 14″ (35.5 cm) WCP
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet pressure.
Burner Input Requirements
Input ratings shown on the model/serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 ft (609.6 m).
For elevations above 2,000 ft (609.6 m), ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level (not applicable for Canada).
Gas Supply Pressure Testing
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1″ (2.5 cm) water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on the model/serial/rating plate.
Line pressure testing above 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge [14″ (35.5 cm) WCP]
The range and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Line pressure testing at 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) gauge [14″ (35.5 cm) WCP or lower]
The range must be isolated 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
