Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety
Instructions
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.
• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair
service.
• Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for
this range.
• Important - Save for local electrical inspector's use.
Safety Codes and Specifications
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified tech-
nician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 7 lat-
est edition and local electrical code requirements.
• Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must
comply with all applicable codes.
• This appliance has been tested in accordance with ANSI/UL 858 Standard for
Safety for Household Ranges and CAN/CSA-22.2 No. 61 National Standard
of Canada for Household Cooking Ranges. Itis the responsibility of the owner
and the installer to determine if additional requirements and standards apply
in specific installations.
Equipment and Usage Safety Requirements
• Unit is heavy and requires at least two persons or proper equipment to move.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in
serious injuries and also cause damage to the range.
• Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child
on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or
other injury.
• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on
the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects a minimum of five inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
• Remove all tape and packaging before using the range. Destroy the packag-
ing after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done by a qualified
technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the
range.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs,
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.
• DO NOT LIFT RANGE BY DOOR HANDLE.
• Remove the door for easier handling and installation. See 'Removing Oven
Door' in the Maintenance section of the Use and Care Manual.
• Do not use the warming drawer (if equipped) or oven for storage.
• Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching behind
or under range.

Installation
Before You Begin
Power Requirements and Electrical Grounding Instructions
• Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to
prevent power from being turned ON accidentally.
• Know how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse
box in case of an emergency.Installation

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 ina separate switch and fuse box. 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.
General Information
Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC. See chart
at right for power ratings and circuit breaker sizes based upon the supply voltage
for each model.
We recommend that the range be installed with a UL approved power cord set
(not supplied). The electrical rating of the power cord set must be 120/240 volt, 50
amperes minimum. The power cord set shall be marked "For Use with Ranges."
Always use a new power cord. Alternatively, the range can also be hard wired
using the aluminum terminal lugs included in the literature pack. If using this con-
nection, flexible conduit must also be used (not supplied).
We recommend a 50 AMP, 60 Hz, 4 wire circuit; However, the NEC (National
Electric Code) allows for some ranges to be installed on a 40 AMP circuit. Refer to
your local electric code requirements in order to determine the required amper-
age. Always choose a range power cord set that is rated for the circuit. In compli-
ance with the NEC, a separate circuit is also recommended.
English 4
Note: In Canada, the range is shipped from the factory with the range cord
already installed. Proceed to Step 9.

Installation Tips
1) Install Ventilation
2) Prepare Walls and Floor
3) Prepare Range
4) Install Strain Relief
• Tape warming drawer or storage drawer shut to keep it from opening while
installing the range.
• During installation, place a portion of the box or a piece of cloth under the
range to protect floors.
• To make range lighter and easier to handle, remove door (see instructions in
Use and Care manual).
We strongly recommend the installation of a ventilation hood above this range.
For most kitchens a certified hood rating of not less than 300 CFM is recom-
mended. The range hood must be installed according to instructions furnished
with the hood.
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.
Place range in front of cabinets where it is to be installed. Remove any packaging.
,_ WARNING: The strain relief provided with your range cord must be
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block (See Figure 4). Feed range
cord through hole and strain relief up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord
between the strain relief and terminal block. Once cord length/slack has been
adjusted, attach strain relief per instructions included with strain relief.
properly installed.
Tip: The knockout panel (below the terminal block) can be removed from the
range to install the strain relief: Remove panel from range, install strain relief in
panel and reattach. DO NOT remove entire range back panel.

Figure4: Electrical Connection and Strain Releif Knockout Panel Locations
There are four possible electrical connections:
1. Four wire range cord
2. Three wire range cord
3. Four wire flexible conduit connection (hard wire)
4. Three wire flexible conduit connection (hard wire)
The four wire range cord connection is the recommended method, but where local
codes permit, three wire connections are also acceptable.
As an alternative to the range cord, the appliance can also be hard wired with
either a three or four wire connection. In this case, the terminal lugs supplied must
be used.
Always verify that your chosen connection complies with all applicable codes. See
"Electrical Specifications" at the beginning of this manual for further information.
5) Connect Electric
WARNING: Toprevent 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 con-
nected to a correctly polarized 240- Volt circuit. If there is any doubt as to whether
the wall receptacle is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electri-
cian.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to
neutral through a ground strap. Grounding through the neutral conduc-
tor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile
homes, and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit ground-
ing 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
