NOTE: Use a 4’ power cord to prevent interference with the storage drawer. Power cords 41ø2’ to 6’ 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 (up to 200°F) generated by the range.

B. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface

units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or allow a 24” minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No 28 MSG sheet metal, (.015”), .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” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.

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 projects at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded. WARNING:

local codes do not allow grounding through neutral, require a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord.

All new constructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where

WARNING: To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. WARNING: 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, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

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, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.

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 oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association.

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 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 1 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 oven frame or on the side of the drawer frame. Note: Use of automatic, wireless or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliances, are

not recommended for this product.

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

of your conduit and assemble it in the hole. Insert the conduit through the squeeze connector and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the wires to the terminal block. NOTE: Do not install the conduit without a squeeze connector. The squeeze connector MUST be installed before reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

WARNING: Fire hazard

Terminal block screws must be securely tightened. Failure to do so may result in potential fire hazard.

FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION A. Remove the 3 lower screws from the terminal

block. Do not loosen the upper screws.

B. Do not cut or remove the ground strap. C. Insert the 3 screws through each power cord

terminal ring and back into the terminal block. Be certain the white wire is in the center. Securely tighten each screw (35 to 50 in-lbs.)

FOR CONDUIT INSTALLATION A. Loosen the 3 lower screws on the terminal block. Do not

loosen the upper screws.

B. Do not cut or remove the ground strap. C. Insert the bare wire tip (insulation stripped 5/8”) into the

bottom terminal block openings. Be certain the white wire is in the center. On certain models, the wire must be inserted through an opening in the ground strap. Securely tighten each screw onto each wire (35 to 50 in-lbs.).

NOTE: Aluminum building wire may be used but it must be rated for the correct amperage and voltage.

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 is under 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.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• 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 that all packing materials and tape have been removed. This will include tape on metal panel under control knobs (if applicable), 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 is fully 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 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.

• 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. 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.

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