To prevent discoloration of base
cabinet, front of oven frame must
extend at least W’ beyond front
surface of cabinets.

Do not seal range to cabinets.
The copper power cord (pigtail) must

run downward, left or right to the wall
receptacle to avoid pinching the cord
between rear portion of the range
and wall.

The back of a free-standing range
may be installed against a vertical
wall. Sides may be installed against
base cabinets or against vertical
walls extending above upper edge of
the cooktop.

CAUTION:

Reaching over heated surface elements causes
risk of being burned. To reduce risk, installation of
cabinet storage above surface units should be
avoided.

If cabinets are already provided, reduce hazard
by installing a range hood. Hood should project
horizontally beyond bottom of cabinets by a
minimum of 5 inches.

WARNING:

POWER CORD INTO A LIVE WALL RECEPTACLE
BEFORE CORD IS PERMANENTLY CONNECTED

TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK.

1

This appliance must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as specified on
nameplate. A separate 40 ampere circuit is
required. Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT
fuse the neutral. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. Wire sizes must
conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-l 984 and/or local
codes and ordinances. The nameplate is located
on the front frame of the oven behind the door.

2.

All wires ending at the appliance must terminate
in ring type terminals.

All power cords and cables to appliance must be

3.

fitted with a UL approved strain relief.

4.

The range should be connected with copper wire
only. Aluminum wire requires special connectors.

Improper use may create a fire hazard.

Appliance may be connected directly to the fused

5.

disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable.

Do not use an extension cord. Allow 4 feet (min.)
slack so appliance can be moved for servicing.
Wire sizes must conform to the ampere rating of
the range. See paragraph B-l above.

6.

WARNING:

APPLIANCE ACCEPTS COPPER WIRE ONLY,

NOT ALUMINUM. IF ALUMINUM HOUSE

WIRING MUST BE CONNECTED, USE ONE OF
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:

l

DO NOT PLUG THE “PIGTAIL’

THE TERMINAL BLOCK ON THE

Connect copper wire to the range terminal
block (use ring terminals).

l

Attach special ring connectors to the
aluminum house wiring that are UL listed
and designed for joining copper to
aluminum. These special ring connectors
(available at electrical supply houses) can be
attached directly to the range terminal block.

l

The connectors must conform to the ampere
rating of the range as stated in paragraph
B-i.

7. If local codes permit, your range may be
connected with a three wire flexible type, UL listed
“pigtail” power cord of the proper ampere rating?
Plug must match a 3-wire NEMA type lo-50R
receptacle (shown below).

CAUTION:

POWER CORD MUST BE USED. This appliance

is manufactured with ground connected to frame.
This must be revised so green grounding wire of 4­wire power cord is connected to frame.

If using a 4-wire NEMA type 14-50R receptacle

(shown above) you must use a matching 4-wire

UL listed “pigtail” power cord. Cord should be
type SRD or SRDT, at least 4 feet long with all
conductors ending in ring terminals at the
appliance.

MINIMUM

(4-WIRE COPPER POWER CORD)

For 40 ampere circuits: two No. 8 conductors, one

No. 10 white neutral, and one No. 8 green ground.

*CAUTION:

a power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts, 50
amperes and investigated for use with ranges
shall be used.
