Electrical / Gas Requirements

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD To avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; verify electrical power is turned off at the breaker box and gas supply is turned off until the range is installed and ready to operate, installation by an authorized installer only.

Electrical Requirements
Check your national and local codes regarding this unit. This range requires 120VAC/60 Hz; 4 ft. (121.9 cm), 3-wire cord with a grounded 3-prong plug attached to the unit. See the “Electrical Connection” section for grounding instructions. Must be fused separately from any other circuit.

Gas Connection
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. This range uses a 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID NPT (Sch40) inlet. Sealants on all pipe joints must be resistive to LP gas.
The range is designed specifically for natural gas or liquid propane (LP) gas. Before beginning installation verify that the model is compatible with the intended gas supply.

Manual shut-off valve
This installer-supplied valve must be installed in the gas service line before the appliance in the gas stream and in a location where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency. Any opening behind the range shall be sealed. In Massachusetts: A “T” handle type manual valve must be installed in the gas supply line to the appliance. IMPORTANT: Any conversion required must be performed by your dealer or a qualified licensed plumber or gas service company. Please provide the service person with this manual before work begins.
Pressure Regulator

• All heavy-duty, commercial type cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation, since service pressure may fluctuate with local demand. External regulators are not required on this range since a regulator is built into each unit at the factory. Under no condition bypass this built-in regulator.
• Manifold pressure should be checked with a manometer, natural gas requires 5.0” W.C.P. and LP gas requires 10.0” W.C.P. Incoming line pressure upstream from the regulator must be 1” W.C.P. higher than the manifold pressure to check the regulator. The regulator used on this range can withstand a maximum input pressure of 1/2” PSI (14.0” W.C.P.). If the line pressure is more than that amount, a step-down regulator will be required.
• The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system.

Flexible Connections
If the unit is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA design-certifiable connector of at least 1/2” (1.3 cm) ID NPT (with suitable strain reliefs) in compliance with ANSI Z21.41 and Z21.69.
In Canada: CAN 1-6, 10-88 metal connectors for gas appliances and CAN 1-6.9 M79 quick disconnect devices for use with gas fuel.
In Massachusetts: This appliance must be installed with a 36” (3-foot) long flexible gas connector.
