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.

a.

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

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. tn 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.

by local code. USE COPPER OR ALUMINUM
CONDUCTORS. Main terminal block is recognized for

Copper or Aluminum conductors. Ifa 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)
