precautions as stated in the USE and CARE MANUAL and avoid
using the oven doors as a step stool. Installation instructions are

MOBILE HOMES
The installation of a range designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24 HUD, Part 280) or, when
such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A, or with local codes. In Canada
the range must be installed in accordance with the current CSA Standard C22.1 - Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and Section Z240.4.1.

CONNECTING THE RANGE

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and National
Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or Canadian
Electric Code CSA STD.C221 latest edition. See the serial plate for
total connected KW rating.

Your local utility company will tell you whether the present electric
service to your home is adequate. It may be necessary to increase
the size of the wiring to the house and service switch to take care
of the electrical load demanded by the range.

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All wiring should
conform to Local and National Electrical Codes. This range

requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60
Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes require a separate circuit be run from
the main entrance panel to the range and that it be equipped with
separate disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main entrance
panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING CIRCUIT CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
