ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ON A

ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER TO RANGE BEFORE
SERVICING.
Ranges equipped with electrical power have a three-
prong grounding plug. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY THIS
RANGE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. THE
THREE-PRONG PLUG MUST BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY
INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG-
TYPE WALL RECEPTACLE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.
DISCONNECTING ELECTRICAL POWER
ON A GAS APPLIANCE
There are two ways to disconnect electrical power to
a gas appliance. Either unplug the three-prong plug
at the wall receptacle or unplug the range power dis-
connect plug, located under the cooktop behind the
right rear burner, by pulling up.
On built-in ovens, the disconnect plug is located under
the bottom plate in the broiler compartment on the right
side of the compartment.
PRESSURE REGULATORS
Regulators maintain the pressure of the gas coming into
the range unless the pressure in the line drops below
normal. By controlling this pressure, thesizeand appear-
ance of the burner flame will remain constant. If you
should move to a new location or change fuels, contact
your serviceman to adjust the range or built-in unit to the
new fuel.
IF A TWO-PRONG-TYPE WALL RECEPTACLE IS EN-
COUNTERED, IT IS THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE OWNER TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH A
PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG-TYPE WALL
RECEPTACLE. THE THREE-PRONG GROUNDING
PLUG IS FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK
HAZARDS.
