ELECTRICAL WIRING INFORMATION
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounded type power cord. A grounded outlet must be provided. It is recommended that the outlet be located as
illustrated in the instructions.
If the outlet is to be mounted in either a left or a right adjacent cabinet, a clearance hole (1-1/2” – 3.18 cm) must be provided in the dividing wall between the
cabinets. NOTE: The free length of the appliance’s power cord is approximately 46 inches. In planning the location of the clearance hole and
outlet, the cord’s length should be considered.

C H E C K F O R G A S L E A K S !
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Apply a non-corrosive
leak detection fluid to all joints and fittings in the gas connection
between the supply line shut-off valve and the range. Include gas
fittings and joints in the range if connections were disturbed during
installation. Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections will
indicate a leak. If a leak appears, turn off supply line gas shut-off
valve,tighten connections, turn-on the gas supply line and retest for
leaks. When leak check is complete, wipe off all residue.
Check Pressure of House Piping System
1. The appliance 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 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8 in. water column).
2. The appliance 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 lbs./sq. in. (3.5 kPa) (13.8
in. water column).
This appliance is designed to operate at a pressure of 5 inches of water column on
natural gas or, if converted for use with LP gas (propane or butane), 10 inches water
column.
Insure this appliance is adjusted for the type of gas supplied to it and that the gas
supply pressure to the appliance regulator is within the proper pressure range.
This appliance was adjusted at the factory for use with natural gas. If, at any time,
this appliance is to be used with a different type of gas, all of the conversion
adjustments described in the instructions given must be made by a qualified service
technician before attempting to operate the cooktop on that gas. Natural gas should
be supplied to the appliance pressure regulator at a line pressure between 6 and 14
inches of water column or, if converted for LP gas, between 11 and 14 inches.
NOTE: Save all parts removed during conversion.
Follow these procedures to remove appliance for servicing:
1. Slide range forward to disengage range from the anti-tip bracket.
2. Shut off gas supply to appliance.
3. Disconnect electrical supply to appliance, if equipped.
4. Disconnect gas supply tubing to appliance.
5. Reverse procedure to reinstall. If gas line has been disconnected,
check for gas leaks after reconnection.
6. To prevent range from accidentally tipping, range must be secured to the floor by sliding rear leveling leg into the anti-tip bracket.
NOTE:
A qualified servicer should disconnect and reconnect the gas supply. The servicer MUST follow installation instructions provided with the gas
appliance connector and the warning label attached to the connector.

INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE
CONNECTING APPLIANCE TO GAS SUPPLY
I M P O R T A N T
Never tighten appliance regulator to more than 35 ft-lbs of torque. Always
use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to the action of LP gas.
Gas leaks may occur in your system and result in a dangerous
situation. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers
recommend you purchase and install an UL approved gas detector.
Install and use in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
W A R N I N G
ELECTRICAL POWER AND GAS MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO CONVERSION.
W A R N I N G
If the line pressure supplying the appliance pressure regulator exceeds
14” W.C. (any gas), the external regulator must be installed in the gas line
ahead of the appliance regulator to reduce the pressure to no more than
14” W.C. Failure to do this can result in malfunction and damage to the
appliance.
W A R N I N G
A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN OR GAS APPLIANCE INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION.
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted by the installer according to the
instructions given.
Gas supply piping MUST conform to all local, municipal and state building codes
and local utility regulations.
NOTE: In Canada, gas utilization codes prohibit use of street elbows. Use standard
pipe elbows and make modification to these instructions as necessary.
All supply piping, except as noted, should use common National Pipe Thread
(N.P.T.). For all pipe connections use an approved pipe joint compound resistant to
the action of LP gas.
This appliance is designed for use with the appliance gas pressure regulator
supplied with this appliance. It must be installed in the gas line ahead of the gas
manifold entrance. It is preset for use with natural gas and must be converted, as
described in the instructions given, for use with LP(propane) gas
A GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE SHOULD BE PUT IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION IN THE
SUPPLY LINE AHEAD OF THE RANGE, FOR TURNING ON AND TURNING OFF
GAS SUPPLY.
