1. Clearances and Dimensions

a. Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
b. Location--Check location where the range will be installed. Check for proper electrical supply and the stability of floor.
c. Dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Contact surface must

be solid and level.

prevent property damage, potential fire hazard, and incorrect
countertop and cabinet cuts.

Avoid locating cabinet storage space above the surface units to
eliminate the possibility of cabinets catching on fire, or

personal burns from reaching for the cabinets over the heated
units. If cabinet storage is to be provided, risk can be reduced

by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Serial Plate Information

The serial plate is located as shown below. See
the serial plate for the following information:
A.Model, lot and serial number of range.
B.Kilowatt rating (power requirements).
C.Voltage ratings.

4. Electrical Connection Requirements

This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with

the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70--latest
edition--and local electrical code requirements.

This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent "Hard Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit."

When hard wiring, do not leave excess wire in range
compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment
may not allow the access cover to be replaced
properly, and could create a potential electrical hazard
if wires become pinched. Connect only as instructed

under "WIRING INSTRUCTIONS" in sections 6 and 7.
When using flexible conduit or range cable, use flex

connector or range cable strain relief.
NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to terminal

block.

4.1 Models Requiring Power Supply Cord
Kit

l

U.S. STYLE

Figure 1 - 3=Wire Cord Kit

Risk of fire or electrical shock may

occur if an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the
installation instructions are not followed or strain relief

bracket is discarded.

This appliance may be connected by means of a
power supply cord. Only a power supply cord kit rated
at 40 or 50 amperes, 125/250 volts, and marked for
use with ranges shall be used. Terminals on end of
wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade
lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have strain relief
clamp.

NOTE: In mobile home installation or areas where
local codes do not permit grounding through

neutral, a four (4) conductor power cord must be

used.

A 1-3/8" knock-out hole is provided at the bottom of
the range terminal box for connecting the power
supply cord kit to the range terminal block (see
Figures 2 and 3).

5. Permanent Hard Wiring (3 or 4 Wires)

Insert the residence 3-wire power supply cable
through the 1-1/8" hole at the bottom of the range

terminal box (see Figure 2). For mobile home
application or where connections with a 3-wire power
supply cable is not allowed, use a 4-wire power supply
cable (for connections, see Figure 3). Use a U.L.
approved strain relief clamp to secure the cable to the

terminal box.

6. Wiring Instructions = 3-Wire Supply Cable

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED

ON THIS APPLIANCE.

Risk of electric shock, frame grounded

to neutral of appliance through a link. Grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new

branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes;
and recrational vehicles, or in an area where local

codes prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor. When installed where it is not permitted to

ground through the neutral, the 3-condutor cord or
cable assembly must be replaced by a 4-conductor

cord or cable assembly.

NOTE: If the ground link is removed for any reason, a
separate ground wire must be connected to the

separate ground screw attached to the range chassis,
and to an adequate ground source.

B. Remove the 3 loose nuts on the terminal block

using 3/8" nut driver or socket. Install a strain relief.

C. Attach pigtail or cable from junction box to the 3

studs in terminal block, as local codes require. The
neutral wire (white) or center wire must be

connected to center terminal.

D. Reinstall terminal box cover,

Do not loosen nuts which secure the

factory installed range wiring to terminal block while
connecting range. Electrical failure or loss of electrical
connection may occur.

7. Wiring Instructions = 4-Wire Supply Cable

Risk of electric shock, frame grounded
to neutral of appliance through a link. Grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes;

and recrational vehicles, or in an area where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral

conductor. When installed where it is not permitted to
ground through the neutral, the 3-condutor cord or

cable assembly must be replaced by a 4-conductor
cord or cable assembly.
