C.Use the bracket as a template and mark the required holes, as shown in figure 3 for the type of construction you will be using.

D.Free-standing range may be secured to either floor or wall.

STEP 2 - Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

Options

A.Wood Construction:

1.Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 3 as “HOLES FOR FLOOR”. Drill a 1/8 (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the two screws provided. Proceed to Step 3.

2.Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 3 as “HOLES FOR WALL”. Drill an angled 1/8 (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole as shown in figure 4. (A nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the wall with the two screws provided as shown in figure 4. Proceed to STEP 3.

B.Cement or Concrete Construction:

1.Suitable screws for concrete construction can be obtained at the hardware store. Drill the required size hole for the hardware obtained into the concrete at the center of the holes identified in figure 3 as “HOLES FOR FLOOR”. Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor. Proceed to STEP 3.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 3 - Range Installation

A.For safety considerations as well as optimum performance, adjust the range so it is level and to desired height prior to installing in cabinet opening.

Levelness may be checked by placing a spirit level or a large pan of water on the cooktop or oven rack. Adjust the range by tipping it forward or back and rotate the leveling feet as required.

Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4 (6mm) is required between the range and the leveling foot that will engage the anti-tip bracket, (see figure 4).

Caution: Damage to the range may occur if range is moved or lifted by grasping the main top, backguard or

door handle. All free-standing ranges with a glass top have a non lift-up top. Coil tops are lift-up.

B.Align the range to its designated location and prepare to slide it back into position. Connect power cord and plug into outlet following guidelines outlined in connecting the range.

C.Slide range into place visually inspecting to verify that power cord is freely routed and contained behind range.

D.To check the range for proper installation of the anti-tip bracket, use a flashlight and look underneath the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear leveling feet is engaged in the anti-tip bracket slot.

NOTE: USE A MINIMUM OF (2) SCREWS TO INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKET TO THE WALL OR FLOOR.

CONNECTING THE RANGE

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

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

ELECTRIC SUPPLY (Canada)

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and Canadian Electric Code CSA STD.C22.1 latest edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

OUTSIDE WIRING

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. The kilowatt rating for the range is specified on the rating plate located on front of range.

HOUSE WIRING

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. In some communities, a solid or flexible continuous armored conduit must be used from main entrance panel to the terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit the termination of the range circuit at a polarized three or four wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near the back of the range. The range is then connected to this outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail) fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the opposite end.

RANGE CONNECTIONS

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range connections necessary on these models. Just plug into the range outlet. On models not provided with a service cord, connection to the power supply is necessary. REMEMBER - only a 4-conductor cord is to be used on new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. Hence, 4-wire service MUST be provided for such installations. 3-wire service may be used when permitted

by local code. USE COPPER OR ALUMINUM CONDUCTORS. Main terminal block is recognized for Copper or Aluminum conductors. If a flexible power cord is required, it is recommended a cord no longer than 4 ft. be used. Make connections as explained below and with reference to the appropriate illustration (see figures 6 and 7). After installation, insure tightness of all electrical connections and replace all covers.

Remove terminal block access cover from range back. (See figure 5).

RANGE CONNECTIONS (Canada)

This model was shipped direct from the factory with service cord (pigtail) attached. There are no range connections necessary. Just plug into the range outlet. See figure 2 on page 2 for outlet location.

NOTE: Cord replacement - ONLY a power supply cord rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal 1 3/8 (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with closed loop terminals and marked for use with ranges shall be used.
