Important Notes to the Installer

1, Read all instructions contained in these installation

instructions before installing range,

2, Remove all packing material from the oven

compartments before connecting the electrical supply to the range.

3, Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 4, Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.

• 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/32°C above room temperature without shrinking, warping or

discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting

unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of !/4" (6.4 mm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

Important Note to the Consumer

Keep these instructions with your owner's guide for future

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, HUD (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.

FI,w'-_:t_ll_.[HNever 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,

FIV,'/'-l:t:ll:[dStepping, leaning or sitting on the

door(s) or drawer 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.

• Save 4 shipping bolts from range packaging to use as leveling legs for range.

FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:

• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess

spillage, Follow the precleaning instructions in the Owner's Guide.

Power Supply Cord Kit

The user is responsible for connecting the power supply cord to the connection block located behind the back

panel access cover.

This appliance may be connected by means of

permanent "hard wiring" (flexible armored or nonmetallic shielded copper cable), or by means of a

power supply cord kit. Onlya power supply cord kit

rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and

marked for use with ranges shall be used. Cord must have 3 conductors (see Figures 1 and 5).

Mobile home installation, or areas where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4 conductor

power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and marked for use with ranges should be

used (see Figures 2 and 6).

Terminals on ends of wires must either be closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must

have strain relief clamp.

_Risk of fire or electrical shock may be

incurred if an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the Installation Instructions are not followed, or the strain relief bracket is discarded,

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

ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See "Four Conductor Wire

Connection to Range" on page 4.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used

(see Figure 1), a matching U.L.-listed, 4-wire, 250 volt, 40 ampere range power supply cord (pigtail) must be

used. This cord contains 4 copper conductors with ring terminals at the appliance end, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the supply end. The fourth (ground) 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 U.L.-listed strain relief and be at least 4 feet long.

The minimum conductor sizes for the copper 4-wire

power cord are:

1. Three Conductor Wire Connection to Range

If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding conductor to the neutral wire of the copper power supply cord (see Figure 4).

A, Remove the 3 screws at the lower end of the

rear wire cover, then raise the lower end of the rear wire cover (access cover) upward to expose

range terminal connection block (see Figure 3),

Electrical Connection to the Residence Electrical System

The appliance may be connected directly to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through flexible,

armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire), Locate the junction box to allow 2 to 3 feet of slack in the line so that the range can be moved

if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the conduit,

A U.L.-listedconduitconnectormust be provided at

each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). Wire sizes (copper wire only} and connections must conform with the rating of the

appliance.

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.

Where local codes DO NOT permit, or if connecting to a 4-wire electrical system, DO

NOT connect the cabinet-grounding conductor to the neutral (white)junction box wire (see Figure 7)

A. Disconnect the power supply.

B. Separate the bare copper and white appliance

cable wires.

C. Connect the white appliance cable wire to the

neutral (white) wire in thejunction box.

D. Connect the 2 black wires together, then the

two red wires together.

E. Connect the bare copper grounding wire to the

grounding wire in the junction box.

connection according to local codes and ordinances,

Where local codes permit connecting the cabinet-grounding conductor to the neutral

(white)junction box wire (see Figure 6)

A. Disconnect the power supply.

B. Connect together the 3 wires: green (bare) and
