PREPARE TO INSTALL THE RANGE

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range. On ranges
with storage drawers electricity can be
disconnected at the outlet without moving
the range if the outlet is in the preferred
tocation (remove storage 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 Jeast 5" beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop
must be no deeper than 13:'

Be sure your appliance is propedy installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.
Make sure the cabinets and walt coverings

around the range can withstand the temperatures
(up to 200°F.) generated by the range.

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:

On models with baking or
warming drawers, electrical

outlet must not be in this
area.

NOTE: Use a 4' power cord to prevent
interference with the storage drawer.
Power cords 41/2to 6' long may have to be
dressed to allow for proper drawer closing.

* Make sure the wall covering, countertop,

flooring and cabinets around the range
can withstand the heat (up to 200°F)
generated by the range.

** Allow 30" minimum clearance between

surface units and bottom of unprotected
wood or metal cabinet, and 15" minimum
between countertop and adjacent cabinet

bottom.

*** Recommended spacing to heat-sensitive

surfaces.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety,

do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit

breaker before beginning installation.

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 or on the

side of the drawer frame.

Location of
model rating

plate

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

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system.

If the electrical service provided does not
meet the above specifications, have a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor
UL-listed range cord. These cords may be

provided with ring terminals on wire and
a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp
range cord is not recommended but if used,

it should be marked for use with nominal

13/8"diameter connection openings. Care

should be taken to center the cable and
strain relief within the knockout hole to keep

the edge from damaging the cable.

• Because range terminals are not accessible
after range is in position, flexible service

conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D
and then to Step 6 or 7.

* On some models, a filter capacitor may be

connected between the black and white

leads on the junction block.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,

MOBILE HOMES AND

INSTALLATIONS WHERE

LOCAL CODES DO NOT

ALLOW GROUNDING
THROUGH NEUTRAL,

REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR

UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.

Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new construction
(not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection
to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new
construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire

connection.
