IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

WARNING: For personal safety remove house fuse or open circuit

breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death.

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by the range.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping, the appliance must be secured by properly installed anti-tip

bracket packed with the appliance.

WARNING

• All ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

• Install anti-tip bracket

packed with range

• See Installation Instructions

If you pull the range out and away from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket is engaged when the range is pushed back against the wall.

Installation Instructions

Pre- Installation Checklist

Preparing the Range

Remove packaging materials. Any packaging materials must be removed during installation. This will include adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

Open oven door and remove literature pack, broiler pan and grid, and oven racks.

Electrical Connections

Electrical Requirements

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit; protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located above the storage drawer on the oven frame.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Battery March Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, follow the instructions in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

Making the Electrical Connection

Remove the wire cover (on the back of the range) by removing 5 screws using a 1/4” nut driver. Do not discard these screws.

5 Screws to remove wire cover

When reinstalling the one-piece wire cover, make sure that wires do not become pinched between wire cover and mainback.

All new constructions, mobile homes and installations where local codes do not allow grounding through neutral.

These will require a four-wire flexible cord kit. If the range is rated between 8,750 and 16,500 watts, the cord kit must be rated for 40 amps125/250 volts. If the range is rated between 16,501 and 22,500 watts, the cord kit must be rated for 50 amps-125/250 volts. For existing construction, a three wire flexible cord kit may be used, and the same ratings apply as described above.

• When using a cord kit rated 40 Amps, remove the knockout in the connection plate. You must use a clamp or strain relief to hold the cord.

• Terminations must be either closed loop terminals or open end spade lugs.

• On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket

Locating The Bracket

The anti-tip bracket, provided with your literature and broiler pan, must be properly installed to prevent the range from tipping. Please refer to the instructions provided with your anti-tip bracket.

a. Decide whether the bracket will be

installed on the right or left side of range location.

b. If the bracket side of the range has an

adjacent cabinet, place the bracket against the back wall and cabinet as shown in Fig. 1. If there is a countertop overhang, offset the bracket by the amount of overhang. If there is no adjacent cabinet, place the bracket to the outside edge of the range side panel and back wall.

Installation Instructions

Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (Reset) or the circuit fuses are replaced. Be sure power is in service to the building. Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape on metal panel (if applicable) under

control knobs have been removed.

Check to make sure the Clock display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.

Final Check List

Operation Check List

Push in and turn any one of the four surface knobs to “MED” setting to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the knob off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.
