NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS

1. ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be
secured to the floor by properly installed Anti-Tip Bracket and
screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip
bracket 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.

If range is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip
Bracket must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall,
make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are
secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall,
be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.

1a. Locate the Bracket using the Template - (Bracket

may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use
the information below to locate the bracket if template is not
available).
Mark the floor or wall where
left or right side of the range
will be located. If rear of
range is against the wall or
no further than 1-1/4" from
wall when installed, you may
use the wall or floor mount
method. If molding is
installed and does not allow

the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove molding or
mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by
placing the back edge of the template against the rear wall and
the side edge of template on the mark made referencing the
side of the range (See Fig. 4). Place bracket on top of template
and mark location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is
further than 1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket
to the floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back
edge of the template where the rear of the range will be
located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in
template.

Fig. 4

1b. Drill Pilot Holes & Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot

hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be
mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20°
downward angle (See Fig. 5).

If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a
3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may be used
in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat
head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place (See Fig. 6).

1c. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting

the (4) leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum
clearance of 1/8" is required between the bottom of the range
and the leveling leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit
level to check your adjustments. Slide range back into position
(See Fig. 7). Visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted
into and fully secured by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower
panel or storage drawer. For models with a Warmer Drawer or
broiler compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward.

2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS - This

appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 -- latest edition -- and Local Electrical
Code requirements.

This appliance may be connected by means of "permanent
wiring" or power supply cord kit."

When installing permanent wiring, do not leave excess wire in
range compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment
may not allow the rear access cover to be replaced properly
and could create a potential electrical hazard if wires become
pinched. Connect only as instructed under "Permanent Wire
Connections" in Step 4c. When using flexible conduit or range
cable use flex connector or range cable strain relief (Fig. 11).

2a. Models with factory connected power supply cord.
NOTE: Some models may have a factory installed
three (3) conductor power supply cord.

Mobile home installations, new branch circuit installations
(1996NEC) or areas where local codes do not permit
grounding through neutral require a four (4) conductor power
supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum and marked for
use with ranges.

See range connection opening size chart (Figs. 9 & 10) for
cord kit ampere rating information. Terminals on end of wires
must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with
upturned ends.
