reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure your range is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service

technician.

• This range must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70--latest edition.

• The installation of appliances designed for

manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform

with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
title 24, Hun (part 280)] or when such standard is not
applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home

Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites,

Communities and Setups), ANSI Z225.1/NFPA 501A-

latest edition, or with local codes.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range

can withstand the heat generated by the range.

• All ranges can tip.

• Injury to persons could result.

• Install anti-tip device packed with range.

Before installing the range in an area covered

with linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can

withstand heat at least 90°F above room
temperature without shrinking, warping or

discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting

unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4"

thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

Never leave children alone or

unattended in the area where an appliance is in use.

As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all
appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the

range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the

door of this range can result in serious injuries and
can also cause damage to the range.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously

burned climbing on the range to reach items.

• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

units, cabinet storage space above the units

should be avoided.

• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This
creates a potentially hazardous situation.

• Never use your range for warming or heating the

room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate

ventilation can be dangerous.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using
a programmable timing operation.

FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEANFEATURE:

• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils

before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess

spillage. Follow the precleaning instructions in the Use
and Care Guide.

To reduce the risk of

tipping of the range, the range must be
secured by properly installed anti-tip screws,

for models with coil elements. They are

located in a plastic bag in the oven.For smoothtop models, the
anti-tip bracket located at the rear of the range fits under the
countertop and prevents range from tipping. Failure to install

the anti-tip screws will allow the range to tip over if excessive
weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it.

Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the

range itself.

Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage
and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or
fuse, having amperage as noted on the rating plate (the

rating plate is located on the oven frame).

If local codes permit, you can use a 3-wire single phase
120/208 or 120/240 Volt, 60Hz AC only electrical

system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly

installed connectors approved for use with aluminum

wiring must be use.

NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with

the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-

latest edition, and local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

• Do not connect to the electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.

• Disconnect power to the junction box before
making the electrical connection.

• This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system,

or a grounding connector should be connected
to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the

appliance.

• Do not use a gas supply line for grounding the
appliance.

Failure to do any of the above could result in a

fire, personal injury or electrical shock.

This appliance is manufactured with a neutral (white)

power supply wire and acabinet-connected green (or
bare copper) grounding wire.

Connect the appliance cable to the junction box through
the U.L.-listed conduit connector. Complete electrical
connection according to local codes and ordinances. (For

preferred junction box location, see Figure 1.)

Where local codes permit connecting the cabinet-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) junction

box wire (see Figure 2)

(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be replaced with a
4-conductor cord or cable where grounding through the

neutral conductor is prohibited in new installations,
mobile homes, recreational vehicles or in other areas

where local codes do not permit neutral grounding)

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
connect the appliance and the residence cable wires
as shown in figure 2.

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.

Improper connection of aluminum

house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads

supplied with this appliance are UL-recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The

insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much

higher than the temperature rating of household wiring.
The current carrying capacity of the conductor is
governed by the temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

Range Installation

The electrical power to the range

must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury

or death.

This range is designed to hang from the countertop. It
does not rest on the floor.

Be sure the bottom of any wall cabinets are a minimum

of 30" (76.2 cm) above the rangetop area.

To eliminate the hazard or reaching over heated surface

units, cabinet storage space located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage isto be
provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5"

(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom front edge of the cabinets.

1. Install base cabinets 29" (73.7 cm) apart, and be
sure they are plumb and level before attaching to
countertop.

2. Cut countertop exactly as shown in Figure 1. Shave
raised edge level to clear 30" (76.2 cm) wide rim on
rolled edge styled countertops.

3. Install the wiring junction box in an adjoining cabinet

or under the floor (range has 48"/122 cm of
conduit). Cut 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) hole to bring conduit
to the junction box.

4. Pushthe electric conduit through the hole and attach
it to the junction box. Leave enough slack in the

conduit to allow the range to be pulled forward
several inches for service if necessary.

5. Oven door is heavy. It is advisable to remove door
and eliminate its weight as range is lifted into

position. See oven door removal instructions in the
Use and Care Guide. Lift the range into position on

the countertop.

6. This range may be equipped with an anti-tip bracket
attached to the back of the range with two screws.

If countertop thickness is greater than 1/2" (1.3 cm),
relocate anti-tip bracket to the lower position 1/4"

(6.4 mm) below (see Figure 1).

7. Ranges with a lift-up cooktop have 4 anti-tip screws

included in the literature pack (see Figure 4). Lift the
countertop and secure range burner box to cabinet
with these screws to prevent range from tipping.
