or 0.020" copper. The minimum clearance is 0" for the rear of the range. Follow all dimension requirements provided above to prevent property damage, potential fire hazard, and incorrect countertop

and cabinet cuts.

Avoid locating cabinet storage space above the surface units to eliminate the possibility of cabinets catching on fire, or personal burns from reaching for the cabinets over the heated units, if cabinet storage is to be provided, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

2. Tools You Will Need

For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket: _-_-_., _:_,

* Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers ::_ _ . 5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver _:

. Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter

Drill Bit (Masonry Drill Bit if installing in concrete)

. Level & Measuring Tape For electrical supply connection:

• 1/4" & 3/8" Socket driver or Nutdriver Additional Materials You Will Need:

• Power Supply Cord or

• Copper Electrical Wiring & Metal

Conduit (for hard wiring)

B. Drill Pilot Holes and 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. 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.

3. 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 the 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 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 brackets must also be moved and installed with the range.

Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement floor. When fastening to floor, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template- Locate the bracket position (right or left side) by placing the template symmetrically to the center of the final range position. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown on template.

C. Level and position the range- Slide range to

its final position. Insert the range leveling leg in the anti-tip bracket. Visually verify if the anti-tip bracket is engaged. Lower the range by adjusting the 4 leveling legs alternatively until the range is level. Check if the range is level by placing a spirit level on the oven rack. Take 2 readings with the spirit level placed diagonally; take a reading in one direction and then inthe other direction. Level the range if necessary by adjusting the leveling legs.

5. 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 "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 flexible conduit or range cable, use flex connector or range cable strain

relief.

NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal block.

5.1 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord Kit

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

Cove r.

This appliance may be connected by means of permanent "hard wiring"; flexible armored or nonmetallic shielded copper cable (when local code allow it) or by means of a power supply cord kit.

NOTE: Electric Slide-in Range is shipped from factory with 1 1/8" (2.9 cm) dia. hole as shown on figure 4. If a larger hole is required, punch out the knockout.

Risk of fire or electrical shock exists if

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

For mobile homes, new installations or recreational vehicles, use only a power supply kit designed for a range at

125V/250V 50A recommended (minimum 40A). Cord must have either 3 (when local code permits grounding through neutral) or 4 conductors. Terminal on end of wires must be either closed loop or open spade lug with upturned ends. Cord must have strain-relief clamp. If a 50A circuit is used, a

50A power cord must be used.

Do not loosen the nuts which secure the

factory=installed range wiring to terminal block while connecting range. Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur.

3=Wire Cord Kit

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 circuit breaker or fuse

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.

Failure to do any of the above could result in a fire,

personal injury or electrical shock.

This appliance is manufactured with

the frame grounded by connection of a grounding

strap between the neutral power supply terminal and

the frame. If used in USA, in a new branch circuit

installation (1996 NEC), mobile home or recreational vehicule, where local code do not permit grounding

through neutral (white) wire or in Canada; remove the

grounding strap from the frame and cut the other end, near the neutral terminal. Connect the appliance in

usual manner.
