FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline

or other ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If the information in this manual is not followed

exactly, a re or electrical shock may result causing property
damage, personal injury or death.

Important Notes to the Installer:

• Read all instructions contained in these installation

instructions before installing range.

• Remove all packing material from the oven
compartments before connecting the gas & electrical
supply to the range.

• 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
