24" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Normal Installation Steps

1. Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range should be secured to the oor 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 di󰀨erent location, the anti-tip brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement

fastened to either the oor 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

oor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical

wiring or plumbing.

A. 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 oor 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" (32 mm) from wall when installed, you may use the wall or oor mount method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket to t ush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket to the oor. 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. 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" (32 mm) from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the oor. For oor 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.

(32 mm)

C. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the

(4) leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/8" (3 mm) 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. 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.

B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" (3 mm)

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. If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic oors, drill a 5/32" (4 mm) pilot hole 1-3/4" (44 mm) deep. The screws provided may be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" (8 mm) nutdriver or at head screwdriver to secure the bracket in

place.

2. Electrical Connection Requirements

Avoid re hazard or electrical shock. Failure

to follow this warning may cause serious injury, re, or death.

by a qualied 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.”

24" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 exible conduit or range cable use ex

connector or range cable strain relief.

2.1 Electrical Connection Requirements (U.S.A. only)

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded

by a qualied 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 "Hard Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit." When hard wiring, do not leave excess wire in range compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment may not allow the access cover to be replaced properly,

and could create a potential electrical hazard if wires become pinched. When using exible conduit or range cable, use ex connector or range cable strain relief.

NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal

block.

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"; exible armored or nonmetallic shielded

copper cable (when local code allow it) or by means of a

power supply cord kit.
