_-I PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY}

See illustrations for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. The range may be placed with 0"

clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls of the cabinet.

On models with baking 2-1/2" or warming drawers, 76.2cm

electrical outlet must "_ be in this area. ::

NOTE:Use a a' (1.22m) power cord to prevent interference with the storage drawer. Power cords

4-1/2' (1.37m)to 6' (1.83m) long may have to be dressed to allow for proper drawer closing.

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP, WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:

A. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring

and cabinets around the range can withstand the

heat (upto 200°F [93.3°C])generated by the range.

B.Allow 30" (76.2cm) minimum clearance between

surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or

metal cabinet, or allow a 24" (60.96cm) minimum

when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected

by no less than 1/4" (.635cm) thick flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No 28 MSG

sheet metal, (.015'1, .015" thick stainless steel, .024" aluminum or .020" copper. _

C.This appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a

6" (15.24cm) minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15" (38.1cm) above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.

To reduce the risk of burns orfire 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 projects at least 5" (12.7cm) beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than lY' (33.02cm).

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

-&WARNING This appliance must be properly grounded.

-&WARNING To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

-&WARN ING To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before

beginning installation. We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified

electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range. You must use a single-phase, 220-240 VAC, 50/60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum

wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used. 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. This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an

individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.

Use only a 3-conductor UL-listed range cord. This cord may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 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 1-3/8" (3.49 cm) 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.

The rating plate is located on the side of the drawer frame.

POWER CORD AND CONDUIT INSTALLATION

r_ Remove wire cover (on the back of range) by removing screws using a 1/4" nut driver. You can

access the terminal block by either removing the terminal block cover (on some models) or the wire cover. Donot discard these screws.

rB1 Forpowercordand 1" conduit only, remove the

knockout ring (1-3/8")located on bracket directly below the terminal block. To remove the knockout,

use a pair of pliers to bend the knockout ring away from the bracket and twist until ring is removed.

rCl For power cord installations only (seethe nextstep if

using conduit), assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the powercord through the strain relief and loosely tighten the clamp screw. Allow enough slack to easily attach the cord terminals to the terminal block. Iftabs are present at the end of the winged strain relief, they can be removed for better fit.

NOTE:Donat install the power cordwithout a strain relief.

For 3/4" conduit installations only, purchase a squeeze connector matching the diameter

ofyour conduit and assemble it in the hole.Insert the conduit through the squeeze connector and tighten.Allow enoughslack to easily attach the wires to the terminal block. NOTE:Donot install the conduit without a squeeze connector. Thesqueeze connector MUSTbe installed before reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

REMOVE PACKAGI NG MATERIALS: Failure to remove packaging materials

could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all packing parts from oven, racks, heating elements and drawer. Also, remove protective film and labels on the outer door, cooktop and control panel.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

If the range is rated between 8,750 and 16,500 watts, the cord kit or conduit must be rated for 40 amps - 250 volts.

• 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.

Three-Wire Cord Connection Kit or Conduit

1.Remove the screws on the terminal block.

2. Install the three-wire cord kit and strain relief inthe hole in the connection plate.

3. Attach the green lead below the terminal block with the grounding screw and tighten screw.

4. Connect the red and black leads to the outside terminals and tighten screws.

5. Push the cord upward (to relieve strain), while tightening the strain relief clamp.

• Achild or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Tip-Over Hazard

• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.

If visual inspection is not possible,slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall and slide the range back so the leveling leg isunder the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip bracket.

191 FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker isclosed (RESET)or the circuit fuses are replaced.

• Be sure power is inservice to the building.

• Check that all packing materials and tape have been removed. Thiswill include tape on metal panel under control knobs (ifapplicable), 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.

• Check that the door and drawer are parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly. If they do not,see the Owner's Manual for proper replacement.

• Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg isfully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and that the bracket is securely installed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

• Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds.Turn the unit off when glow isdetected. Ifthe glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. Ifno change is required, have building wiring checked far proper connections and voltage.

• Check that the Clock(on models so equipped) display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections.

Ifchange 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.

• Be sure all range controls are in the OFFposition before leaving the range.
