Whirlpool WGG555S0B Freestanding Gas Range Instruction Manual
GAS SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Gas supply line:
- Provide a gas supply line of 3 /4″ (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in insufficient gas supply. With LP gas, piping or tubing size can be 1 /2″ (1.3 cm)minimum. Usually, LP gas suppliers determine the size and materials used in the system.
NOTE: Pipe-joint compounds that resist the action of LP 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 (122 to 152.4 cm) long, 1 /2″ (1.3 cm) or 3 /4″ (1.9 cm) I.D., flexible metal appliance connector may be used for connecting range to the gas supply line.
-
A 1 /2″ (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 range.
-
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 range opening, such as an adjacent cabinet. 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 range.
- A. Gas supply line
- B. Shutoff valve “open” position
- C. To range
Type of Gas Natural gas:
- This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located behind the control panel 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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. 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 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 range 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.
