WARNING³

Before beginning

the installation, switch power off at service

panel and lock the service disconnecting

means to prevent power from being

switched on accidentally. When the service

disconnecting means cannot be locked,

securely fasten a prominent warning device,

such as a tag, to the service panel.

PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)

See illustrations for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. The range may be placed with 0”

clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls of the cabinet.

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,

WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:
A.
Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring

and cabinets around the range can withstand the

heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range.

B. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface

units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal

cabinet, or allow a 24” minimum when bottom

of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less

than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard covered

with not less than No 28 MSG sheet metal, (.015”),

.015” thick stainless steel, .024”

aluminum or .020” copper.

C. This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However,

a 6” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent

cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space

above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above

the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5” beyond

the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:

This appliance must be properly grounded.

WARNING:

All new constructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where

local codes do not allow grounding through neutral, require a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

WARNING:

To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before

beginning installation.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range.

You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be
used.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not
existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range
in new construction, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit
connections.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven
according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your
oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No.
70 – latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring

terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord

is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1

openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the

knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

The rating plate is located on the oven frame or on the side of the drawer frame.

POWER CORD AND CONDUIT INSTALLATION

A

Remove wire cover (on the back of range) by removing screws using a 1/4” nut driver. You can

access the terminal block by either removing a terminal block cover (on some models) or the
wire cover. Do not discard these screws.

B

For power cord and 1” conduit only, remove the

knockout ring (1

”) located on bracket directly

below the terminal block. To remove the

knockout, use a pair of pliers to bend the

knockout ring away from the bracket and

twist until ring is removed.

D

For 3/4” conduit installations only, purchase a squeeze connector matching the diameter

of your conduit and assemble it in the hole. Insert the conduit through the squeeze connector

and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the wires to the terminal block. NOTE: Do not install the

conduit without a squeeze connector. The squeeze connector MUST be installed before reinstalling

the rear range wiring cover.

The neutral wire and ground strap must be

connected as shown below for the range to be

properly grounded. Do not remove the ground strap.

Failure follow this instruction may result in potential

shock hazard.

WARNING:

Fire hazard

Terminal block screws must be securely tightened.

Failure to do so may result in potential fire hazard.
FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION
A.
Remove the 3 lower screws from the terminal

block. Do not loosen the upper screws.
B. Do not cut or remove the ground strap.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the

range must be secured by a properly installed

anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions

shipped with the bracket for complete details

before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and

engaged properly, look underneath the range

to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged

in the bracket. On some models, the storage

drawer or kick panel can be removed for

easier inspection. If visual inspection is not

possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and

slide the range back so the leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for

any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip bracket.

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
• Be sure power is in service to the building.
• Check that all packing materials and tape have been removed. This will include tape on metal panel under

control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove

these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and

surfaces have heated.

• Check that the door and drawer are parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly. If they

do not, see the Owner’s Manual for proper replacement.

• Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg is fully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and that the bracket

is securely installed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

• Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unit

off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring

connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for

proper connections and voltage.

• Check that the Clock (on models so equipped) display is energized. If a series of horizontal red

lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections.

If change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for

proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.

• Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving the range.
