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 16”.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

POWER CORD AND CONDUIT INSTALLATION

WARNING

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

WARNING

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

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 oven frame or on the drawer frame.

This appliance must be properly grounded.

All new constructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations

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

To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning

SINGLE OVEN

DOUBLE OVEN

A. 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 a terminal block cover (on some models) or the wire cover. Do not discard these screws.

B. For power cord and 1” conduit only, remove the

knockout ring (13»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.

C. For power cord installations only (see the next step if

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

NOTE: Do not install the power cord without

a strain relief. The strain relief bracket MUST be installed before reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

D. 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 wire or terminal block cover.

WARNING

neutral terminal located in the center of the terminal block and the ground strap must connect the neutral terminal to the ground plate. The power leads must be connected to the lower left and the lower right terminals of the terminal block.

DO NOT remove the ground strap connection.

FOR POWER CORD INSTALLATION

A. Remove the 3 lower terminal screws from the terminal block.

B. Insert the 3 terminal screws through each power cord terminal ring and into the lower terminals

of the terminal block. Be certain that the center wire (white/neutral) is connected to the center lower position of the terminal block.

C. Tighten screws securely into the terminal block.

FOR CONDUIT INSTALLATION

A. Loosen the 3 lower terminal screws on the terminal block. Strip wire to expose tip about 5/8”

long.

B. Insert the center (white/neutral) wire tip through the bottom center terminal block opening. On

certain models, the wire will need to be inserted through the ground strap opening and then into the bottom center block opening. Insert the two side bare wire tips into the lower left and the lower right terminal block openings.

C. Tighten the screws until the wire is firmly secured (35 to 50 inch-lbs.). Do not over-tighten the

screws.

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