• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

• Be sure to leave these instructions with the

consumer.

Important Notes to the Consumer: Keep these instructions with your owner’s guide for future reference.

• As when using any appliance generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. These are listed in the Use & Care Guide, read it carefully.

• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a qualied installer or service technician.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand the heat generated by the range.

• To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

elements, cabinet storage space above the elements should be avoided.

• Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged to floor or wall when the range is moved.

• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.

• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use both arms to grasp the rear edge of the range back. Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly installed, the range should not tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied with your range for proper installation.

Tip Over Hazard

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Verify the anti-tip device has been installed to floor or wall.

3. 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.

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.

Fig. 4

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.

(32 mm)

Fig. 5

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.

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

(4) leveling legs with a wrench. Note: Aminimum 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.

4. Electrical Connection

Requirements

Avoid re hazard or electrical shock. Failure

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

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.

Models requiring power supply cord kit

RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY OCCUR IF AN INCORRECT SIZE RANGE CORD KIT IS USED, THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED OR STRAIN RELIEF BRACKET IS DISCARDED. This appliance may be connected by means of a power supply cord. Only a power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, and marked for use with ranges shall be used. See Fig. 10 for cord kit ampere rating information. Cord must have either three (3) or four (4) conductors (See Fig. 8). Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have strain relief properly installed. See Steps 5a. for 4-Wire or 4b. for 3-Wire connections.

5. Electrical Connection to the

Range

The Rear Access Cover must be removed (Fig 9). To remove, loosen center screw (one screw) and remove cover. The terminal block will then be accessible.

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 5c. When using exible conduit or range cable use ex connector or range cable strain relief

NOTE: Range is shipped from factory with 1-3/8" dia. hole as shown. To use either 7/8" dia. hole or 1-1/8" dia. knockouts refer to Fig. 9.
