MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:

A. Makesure the wall covering, countertop, flooring

and cabinets around the range can withstand the
heat (up to 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

NOTEC

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

B"(15.24cm) minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15"(38icm) 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. Ifcabinet storage space is to beprovided above

the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects atleast 5" (12.7cm)beyond
the front ofthe cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13" (33.02cm).

[TI ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
_WARNING This appliance must be properly grounded.
AWARNING To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

_,WARN[ NG To prevent shock, remove house fuse oropen circuit breaker before
beginning installation.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by aqualified
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 ina 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 acircuit 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 ifused, it should be marked for use with nominal 1-3/8" (3.49 cm)diameter
connection openings. Care should betaken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout
hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

The rating plate islocated on the side of the drawer frame.

POWER CORD AND CONDUIT INSTALLATION

Remove wire cover (onthe back of range) by removing screws using a 1/4" nut driver. Youcan
access the terminal block by either removing the terminal block cover (onsome models) or the

wire cover. Do not discard these screws.

r_ For power cordand r' 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.

Forpower cord installations only (seethe next step if
using conduit),assemble the strain relief in the hole.

Insert the power cord through the strain relief and
loosely tighten the clamp screw. Allow enough slack
to easilyattach the cord terminals to the terminal
block. Iftabs are present at the end of the winged
strain relief, they canbe removed for betterfit.

NOTE;Donot installthe power cordwithout a strain relief.

ITI ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

Tip-Over Hazard

, Achild or adult cantip the rangeand bekilled.

Installthe anti-tip bracket to thewall or floor.
Engagethe rangeto the anti-tip bracketby slidingthe

rangeback suchthat the foot isengaged.
, Re-engagethe anti-tip bracket ifthe rangeis moved.
, Failure todo socan resultin death orserious burns

to childrenor adults.

To reducethe riskof tipping
the range,the range must
be securedby a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions
shipped with the bracket for
complete details before
attempting to install.
To checkif the bracket
is installedand engaged
properly, look underneath

the range to seethat the rear
leveling leg isengaged inthe bracket. Onsome models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed
for easier inspection. If visualinspection is not possible, slidethe range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket
is securely attached to the floor orwall and slidethe range back so the levelingleg is under the anti-tip
bracket, if the range ispulled from thewall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured bythe anti-tip bracket. Nevercompletely remove the levelinglegs or the range will not
be secured tothe anti-tip bracket.

control knobs (if applicable),adhesive tope, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic.Failure to remove
these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has beenturned onand
surfaces have heated.

• Check that thedoor and drawerore parallel toeach other and that both operate smoothly. Ifthey
do not, seethe Owner's Manualfor proper replacement.

• Check to makesure that the rear leveling leg isfully inserted intothe AntPTip bracket and that the bracket
issecurely installed.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

•Turn on one ofthe surface units to observethat theelement glows within 60seconds. Turnthe unit
off when glow isdetected. If the glow is notdetected within thetime limit,recheck the range wiring
connections. If change isrequired, retest again. Ifno change is required, havebuilding wiring checkedfor
proper connections and voltage.

• Check that theClock (on models soequipped) display is energized. Ifa series of horizontal red
lines appear inthe display,disconnect powerimmediately. Recheckthe range wiring connections.
Ifchange ismade to connections, retest again. If no change isrequired, have building wiring checked for
proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red linesappear.

• Be sureall range controls are in the OFFposition before leaving the range.
