27" BUILT-IN OVEN
Before you begin—Read these instructions completely and carefully.
IMPORTANT—Save these instructions for local inspector’s use.
IMPORTANT—OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.
Note to Installer—Be sure to leave these instructions with the Consumer.
OWNER—Keep these instructions for future reference.
Note—This appliance must be properly grounded (if applicable).
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• Be sure your oven is installed properly by a
qualified installer or service technician.
• Be sure the oven is securely installed to a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Weight on the oven door could
potentially cause the oven to tip and result in
injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,
stand, or hang on the oven door.
• Make sure wall coverings, cabinets and
countertops around the oven can withstand
the heat (up to 200°F) generated by the oven.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION:
to the oven supply line must be shut
off while lineconnections are being
made. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or death.
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 noted on rating plate. (Rating
plate is located on oven frame.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup
of your oven done 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.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a
four-conductor connection to an electric range. When
installing an electric range in new construction, follow the
instructions in 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.

THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH
1. De-energize oven branch circuit.
2. With oven in front of cabinet opening, connect flexible
conduit to the junction box in such a manner that it will
hang down in a natural loop against the left side of the
back wall when the oven is installed. Do not shorten this
flexible conduit. The flexible conduit connector must be
securely attached to the junction box and the flexible
conduit must be securely attached to the connector. If
the flexible conduit will not fit within the connector, do
not install the oven until a connector of the proper size
is obtained.
• All new constructions, mobile homes and installations
where local codes do not allow grounding through the
neutral, require a four-conductor branch circuit. For
existing construction, a three-conductor branch circuit
connection may be used.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN:
supplied with this appliance are UL recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of these 3 leads is rated at temperatures
much higher than the temperature rating of household
wiring. The current carrying capacity of the conductor
is governed by the temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.
The 3 power leads
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH
CIRCUIT CONNECTION
• When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if
local codes permit, connect the bare oven ground
conductor with the crimped neutral, (white), lead to the
branch circuit neutral, (white or gray in color), the oven
red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven
black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance
with local codes.
WARNING:
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper
leads can result in an electrical
hazard or fire. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to
aluminum and follow the manufacturer's
recommended procedure closely.
FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS
The oven may be supported by either a solid bottom or two
runners. The solid bottom or two runners should be level
with the bottom edge of the cutout opening.
The entire weight of the oven is supported by the 2" x 4" or
equivalent runners. Make sure these runners are level,
rigidly mounted and spaced 20 1/2" on center. The space
between the runners is 19" wide.
CIRCUIT CONNECTION
• When installing in a new construction, or
• When installing oven in a mobile home, or
• When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral:
1. Cut the neutral, (white), lead from the crimp. Re-strip
the neutral, (white), lead to expose the proper length of
conductor.
2. Attach the appliance grounding lead, (green or bare
copper), to the residence grounding conductor, (green
or bare), in accordance with local codes. If the residence grounding conductor is aluminum, see “WARNING” note.
3. Connect the oven neutral, (white), lead to the branch
circuit neutral, (white or gray), in accordance with local
codes.
4. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead
and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead
in accordance with local codes. If the residence red,
black or white leads are aluminum conductors, see
“WARNING” note.
NOTE: If a solid bottom is used instead
of the runners, a 6" x 10" rectangle must
be cut out of the bottom for optimum
performance and proper air circulation.
See Fig. 1 or 2.
(See pages 3, 4 and 5 for illustrations.)
IMPORTANT: Remove all packing
material and literature from the
cooktop before connecting any
electrical supplies.
