Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes and that the ground path is adequate.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
range is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
Make sure that the electrical connection and wire size are
adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Electrical Connection
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. (The model/serial number rating plate is located on the
right vertical surface of the oven door frame.)
Range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
A 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase, 120/240 volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electrical supply is required on a separate, 30-amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The
fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the range
specified on the model/serial rating plate located on the right
vertical surface of the oven door frame. Refer to the figure in
the "Product Dimensions" section of "Location
Requirements" section.
The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect
(or circuit breaker box) through flexible, or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. The flexible, cable
extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be
connected directly to the junction box. See "Make Electrical
Connection."
Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible
between the junction box and the range so that the range can
be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the
conduit.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range
and at the junction box).
Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range (30 amps).
If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

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.
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/NFPA 54 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 -
latest edition.
IMPORTANT: Range cooktop must be connected to a regulated
gas supply.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the range cooktop must be
conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Type of Gas
Natural Gas:
This range is design-certified by CSA International for use with
Natural gas or, after proper conversion, for use with LP gas.
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. The model/
serial rating plate located on the right vertical surface of the
oven door 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 range cooktop from the
gas specified on the model/serial rating plate for use with a
different gas without consulting the serving gas supplier. To
convert to LP gas, use the LP gas conversion kit provided with
your range. The parts for this kit are in the literature package
supplied with the range.
