Checking For Gas Leaks
Leak-test the range per manufacturer directions. Do not use a flame to check for leaks. With a
brush, spread a soap-and-water solution around the area in question. If there is a gas leak,
small bubbles will appear in the solution. If unsure, call for professional help.
Electrical and Grounding Safety
•Do not remove the ground prong.
•Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
•Do not use a damaged plug, cord, or loose power outlet, and do not alter the plug, cord, or outlet.
•Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
•
Use a dedicated 240 Vac, 60 Hz, 50 Amp breaker for the 48" Range and a 40 Amp breaker for the
36" Range. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker should be used. Plug only the range into this circuit.
•Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing/gas lines, or hot water pipes.
•The range must be grounded. Grounding lowers the risk of electric shock by giving the current a
safe path. If unsure that your outlet is properly grounded, have a licensed electrician check it.
•The range has a grounded, 3-prong, plug that must be inserted in a grounded, 3-prong outlet
that meets all local ordinances. If codes allow a separate ground wire, a qualified electrician
should determine its path.
•Electrical service to the range must conform to local codes, or in their absence, to the National
Electrical code/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA
C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
•The owner shall ensure the range receives the proper electrical service.
This section consists of general and specific safety instructions surrounding the range's installation.
WARNING

death, and to ensure proper installation.
