PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
!
Check your local building codes for proper installation methods. In the absence of local codes, this appliance should be installed
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No. Z223.1 current issue, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70
current issue, or the CAN – B149 Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances, and C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1.
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location, being sure that the appliance is connected to the type of gas for which it is
certied. Models come from the factory certied for use with Natural Gas (NG) or Liquid Propane (LP) gas. Your product,
shown on the rating label and the supplied gas type must be the same. Upon opening your product, the rating label can be
located on the front panel if it is a range or oven. If it is a rangetop it can be found on the side panel underneath the left burner.
If connecting this appliance to propane gas, make certain the propane gas tank is equipped with its own high-pressure
regulator - in addition to the pressure regulator supplied with this product when applicable. The maximum propane gas pressure
to this appliance must not exceed 14.0 inches of water column (34.9 millibar) from the propane gas tank to the pressure
regulator.
Your appliance must be installed by a qualied gas installation technician. Have the technician show you the exact location of the
gas shut-off valve on the incoming gas line so you know how to turn off the gas if necessary.
For personal safety, this appliance must be connected to a properly grounded and polarized electrical power supply. If only a
two-prong outlet is available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have it replaced with a dedicated, grounded, three-prong
electrical outlet by a licensed technician. The gas surface burner re-ignition system when applicable depends on a low resistance
electrical ground connection for reliable operation.
• Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
• Do not use an adapter plug
• Do not use an extension cord
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged
• Do not plug the appliance into an electrical outlet with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
