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 1/4" (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.

_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(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.

_O REDUCE

THE RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE RANGE, THE RANGE

MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-
TIP BRACKET(S) PROVIDED
WITH THE RANGE. TO
CHECK IF THE BRACKET(S)
IS INSTALLED PROPERLY,

REMOVE THE LOWER
PANEL OR STORAGE
DRAWER AND VERIFY THAT
THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET(S)

IS ENGAGED.

Two anti-tip brackets MUST be removed from
lower back of range and MUST be installed. For

detailed instructions, see page 8.

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. Only a 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 homes, new installations, recreational vehicles,
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.

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:

2 No. 8 conductors

1 No. 10 white neutral
1 No. 8 green ground

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

Figure 2

Electrical Connection to the Range
This appliance is manufactured with the neutral terminal

connected to the frame.

1. Three Conductor Wire Connection to Range
(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 mew

installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles or
in other areas where local codes do not permit

neutral grounding.)
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).
