PREPARE TO INSTALL THE RANGE

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

AJJ rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range.

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when
reaching over hot surface eJements, cabinet

storage space above the cooktop shouJd be
avoided. Jf cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can
be reduced by instaJJing a range hood that
protrudes at Jeast 5" beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets instaJJed above a cooktop
must be no deeper than 13:'

Be sure your appJiance is propedy instaJJed

and grounded by a quaJified technician.
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings

around the range can w4thstand the temperatures
(up to 200°F) generated by the range.

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 on the left

hand side of the lower oven front frame.

Location of i,

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

13A" 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.
