Sears 71168 Range User Manual


 
Installation Instructions coo 0ood)
1. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas
line in an emily accessed location outside of the
range_ Make sure everyone operating the range
knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to
the range.
2. Install mate 1/2" flare union adapter to the i/2"
NPT internal thread elbow at inlet of pressure
regulator. On models equipped with standard twin
burners, install the male pipe thread end of the 1/2"
flare union adapter to the 112" NPT internal thread
at inlet of pressure regulator. Use a back-up wrench
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage°
When installing the range from the front, remove
the 90 ° elbow for easier installation.
3. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to the
NPT internal thread of the manual shut-offvatve,
taking care to back up the shut-off valve to keep it
from mining.
4. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to the
adapter on the range. Position range to permit
connection at the shut-offvalve.
5. When all connections have been made, make sure
all range controls are in the OFF position and mrn
on the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak
detector at all joints and connections to check for
leaks in the system.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 112 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using test pressures
of 1/2 psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply
isolate the range from the gas supply system by c!osing
the individual shut-off valve.

Electrical Connections
(on some models)
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated with
certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to
use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a ULdisted, 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,
the branch circuit rating.
Grounding--IMPORTANT (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped

receptacle to minimize
the possibility of
electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
PREFERRED
METHOD __,._
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CIFI"
