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 oven be provided.
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.
The wiring diagram is located in the upper control

compartment in a clear plastic bag.

Gas Supply Requirements

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 - latest edition or CAN/CGA B149 - latest

edition.
IMPORTANT: Leak testing of the oven must be conducted

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Type of Gas

Natural gas:

This oven is factory set for use with Natural gas. See “Gas

Conversions” section. The model/serial rating plate located

behind the broiler drawer on the right-hand side oven front

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 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.

Gas Supply Line

Provide a gas supply line of ¾" (1.9 cm) rigid pipe to the oven

location. A smaller size pipe on longer runs may result in

insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds that resist the

action of LP gas must be used. Do not use TEFLON

®†

tape.

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.
Flexible metal appliance connector:

If local codes permit, a new CSA design-certified, 4 to 5 ft

(122 to 152.4 cm) long, ½" (1.3 cm) or ¾" (1.9 cm) I.D.,

flexible metal appliance connector may be used for

connecting oven to the gas supply line.

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.
Do not kink or damage the flexible metal tubing when

moving the oven.

Rigid pipe connection:
The rigid pipe connection requires a combination of pipe

fittings to obtain an in-line connection to the oven. The rigid

pipe must be level with the oven connection. All strains must

be removed from the supply and fuel lines so oven will be

level and in line.

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 oven 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 oven.

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.
