Cleveland, OH 44131-5575  
Type of Gas  
Natural gas:  
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.  
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 equipped with a power supply cord having a  
3 prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the  
cord must be plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
This range is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas  
Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located  
on the oven frame behind the left side of the broiler 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.  
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.  
LP gas conversion:  
This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that  
will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly  
polarized.  
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.  
The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range.  
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 Line  
Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (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 ½" (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.

Gas Pressure Regulator  
If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4-5 ft  
(122-152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D.,  
flexible metal appliance connector may be used for  
connecting range to the gas supply line.  
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" WCP  
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP  
LP gas:  
A ½" (1.3 cm) male pipe thread is needed for connection  
to the female pipe threads of the inlet to the appliance  
pressure regulator.  
Minimum pressure: 11" WCP  
Maximum pressure: 14" WCP  
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when  
moving the range.  
Contact local gas supplier if you are not sure about the inlet  
pressure.  
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.  
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.  
Gas Supply Pressure Testing  
Gas supply pressure for testing regulator must be at least 1"  
water column pressure above the manifold pressure shown on  
the model/serial rating plate.  
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.  
Line pressure testing above ½ psi gauge (14" 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
Line pressure testing at ½ psi gauge (14" WCP) or lower

6. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in the anti-tip bracket.  
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking  
performance.  
Electronic Ignition System  
Initial lighting and gas flame adjustments  
Cooktop and oven burners use electronic igniters in place of  
standing pilots. When the cooktop control knob is turned to the  
“LITE” position, the system creates a spark to light the burner.  
This sparking continues until the control knob is turned to the  
desired setting.  
When the oven control is turned to the desired setting, a hot  
surface igniter heats to a bright orange and ignites the gas. No  
sparking occurs. The glow bar remains on while the burner  
operates.  
2. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.  
If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is  
engaged in the anti-tip bracket.  
3. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½" (1.3 cm) off the floor  
without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently  
back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the anti-tip  
bracket.
