■ Marker or pencil

■ Masking tape

Parts supplied

Check that all parts are included.

■ ³⁄₈" drive rachet

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or electrical shock.

■ It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation

clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the oven frame behind the storage drawer panel.

■ The range should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.

■ 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 to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.

Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

■ The floor anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-

tip bracket shipped with the range, see “Install Anti-Tip Bracket” section.

■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical

Requirements” section.

IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for baking and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.

flooring may require longer screws to anchor bracket to subfloor. Longer screws are available from your local hardware store.

Parts needed

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

All electrical connections should be made by a licensed, qualified electrical installer.

Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When such standard is not applicable, use the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or follow local codes.

Mobile home installations require:

■ When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be

secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards listed above.

■ Four-wire power supply cord or cable must be used in a

mobile home installation. The appliance wiring will need to be revised. See “Electrical Connection” section.

Electrical Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not use an extension cord. Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate

and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your range, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

■ Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and

frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating plate. (The model/serial number rating plate is located on the oven frame behind the storage drawer panel.)

■ When a 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase 120/240 volt, 60 Hz, AC

only electrical supply is available (or, if specified on the model/ serial rating plate, when a 4-wire or 3-wire single phase 120/208 volt 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is available), a 40- or 50-amp maximum circuit protection is required, fused on both sides of the line.

■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

■ The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect

(or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See “Electrical Connection.”

■ Allow 2 to 3 ft of slack in the line so that the range can be

moved if servicing is ever necessary.

■ A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end

of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box).

■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of

the range.

■ The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range or

inside the storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.

If connecting to a 4-wire system:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the cabinet. The ground must be revised so the green grounding wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See “Electrical Connection.”

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

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range power supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50R plug on the supply end.

The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green or green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT with a UL listed strain relief and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

4-wire receptacle (14-50R)

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power cord are:

40-amp circuit 2 No.-8 conductors 1 No.-10 white neutral 1 No.-8 green grounding

If connecting to a 3-wire system:

Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains 3 copper conductors with ring terminals or openend spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 10-50P plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance. This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R.
