	We recommend that the range be installed with a power cord set (not supplied).1
	The electrical rating of the power cord set must be 120/240 volt, 40 or 50 amperes
	minimum (depending on local code). The power cord set shall be marked “For
	Use with Ranges.” Always use a new power cord.
	Note: In Canada, the range is shipped from the factory with the range cord
	already installed.
	Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC. Check the
	data plate for the kW rating. Reference the kW rating in the table below to deter-
	mine amperage requirements.

	Verify that wiring to house is adequate
	Contact your local utility company to verify that the present electric service to your
	home is adequate. In some instances, the size of the wiring to the house and ser-
	vice switch must be increased to handle the electrical load demanded by the
	range.
	Verify that wiring inside house is adequate
	Most wiring codes require a separate circuit with separate disconnect switch and
	fuses either in the main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.
	The range requires a minimum of a three wire 120/240 or 120/208 volt, 40 or 50
	AMP, 60 Hz AC circuit. Check local codes for proper amperage ratings.A four wire
	connection is preferred.
	Most local building regulations and codes require that electrical wiring be done by
	licensed electricians. Be sure to install your range according to the electric codes
	in place in your region.

Required Clearance1

From cooktop to materials above: There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet. See Figure 4: Cabinet Preparation.

24 inches is acceptable when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by (a) not less than 1/4" of flame retardant material which must be covered with

(b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015 inch stainless steel’ or 0.024 inch aluminum or copper.

From range walls to adjacent materials: See Figure 4: Cabinet Preparation. No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical combustible walls on

rear, right or left.2

Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls must be at least 4”.

Note: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the temperatures allowed by U.L., particularly self-cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain. This is most noticeable with laminated cabinets.

Prepare Walls and Floor

Seal any holes in the walls or floor. Remove any obstructions (extra electrical or gas connections, etc.) so that range will rest against wall properly.

Countertops must be smooth and level.

Install Anti-Tip Bracket

1.Instructions were determined using standard American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36" high x 24" deep. Cabinets over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking surface measure 13 inches deep from backwall. If nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.

2.In Canada, a clearance of 12 mm from range sidewall to cabinet is required.

1.Adjust height of range and level by rotating the adjustable leg supports on the bottom of the range, using 1-1/4" wrench.

2.Measure to locate bracket position as shown in See Figure 5: Anti-Tip Bracket.

3.Secure bracket with 2 screws adequate for mounting surface (i.e., for wood floor use wood screws, for concrete floor use concrete anchors and screws).

Warning: Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to neutral

through a ground strap. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.

For installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited,

(a) disconnect the link from the neutral, (b) use grounding terminal or lead to ground unit, (c) connect neutral terminal to lead branch circuit neutral in usual manner (when the appliance is to be connected by means of a cord kit, use 4- conductor cord for this purpose).

Use only cord kits rated 125/250 volts (minimum), 40 or 50 amperes (depending on local code) and labeled “For Use with Ranges”. Strain relief provided with cord must be installed per instructions

Figure 9: Grounding Requirements

Warning: To prevent electrical shock, the grounding prong on the range

cord should not be cut or removed under any circumstances. It must be plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle and connected to a correctly polarized 240Volt circuit. If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
