This symbol alerts you to

potential hazards that can kill
or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety
alert symbol and either the word

'DANGER" or 'WARNING." These

words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don't immediatebL follow

instructions.

You can be kitied or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the

potential hazard is, tell you how to

reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

not followed.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances. Failure to meet codes

and ordinances could lead to fire or
electrical shock.

Proper installation is your responsibility.
A qualified technician must install this

range. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation. It is the
installer's responsibility to comply with
installation clearances specified on the
model/serial rating plate.The model/serial

behind the storage drawer panel.

Check location where range will be
installed.The range should be located for

convenient use in kitchen.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by

reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the

Electrical requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path and wire gauge are in

accordance with local codes,
This range must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring
system.

Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure range is properly grounded+

Do not ground to a gas pipe+
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or

ground circuit+
Range must be connected to the proper

electrical voltage and frequency as
specified on the model/serial rating plate+
(The model/serial rating plate is located
on the oven frame behind the storage
drawer panel+)

[_ A four-wire or three+wire, single+
phase, 120/240+volt, 60-Hz, AC+only,

electrical supply (or three+wire or four-
wire 120/208+volt if specified on the

model/serial rating plate) is required on a
separate, 40 amp circuit, fused on both

sides of the line+

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended.

The range can be connected directly

to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker

box) through flexible armored conduit+
This range can be direct wired to a four-

wire or three-wire aluminum wiring
system. See "Direct wire method: Copper

or Aluminum wire" section+
Allow two to three feet of slack in the line

so that it can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary.
A U+h+listed conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply

cane (at the range and at the junction
box).

Wire sizes and connections must conform
with the rating of the range (40 amps)+

[_ The wiring diagram is located on the
back of the range or on the inside of the
storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.

Recommended ground method

tt is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to contact a
qualified electrician to assure that the
electrical installation is adequate and is in

conformance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSt/NFPA 70 -- latest edition +x

and aii local codes and ordinances+

Power supply cord is not supplied, but is
available through your local electrical

supply house+

ff connecting to a four-wire

system:

This range is manufactured with the
ground connected to the cabinet.The
ground must be revised so the green
grounding wire of the fouFwire power
supply cord is connected to the cabinet.

See "Four-wire electrical connection"
section+

When a fouFvvire receptacle of NEMA
Type 14-50R is used (see Figure 1, below),
a matching U.h-listed, four-wire, 250-volt,
40 amp, range power supply cord (pigtail)

must be used+This cord contains four
copper conductors with either ring

terminals or spade terminals with

upturned ends to connect the power
supply at the appliance end, terminating
in a NEMAType 14-50P plug on the
supply end+The fourth (grounding)
conductor must be identified by a green
or green_yellow cover and the neutral
conductor by a white cover. Cord should
beType SRD or SRDT with a U.L-listed
strain relief and be at bast four feet long+

The minimum conductor sizes for the
copper four-wire power cord are:

40 amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors

1 No.-10 white neutral

1 No+-8 green grounding

ff connecting to a three-wire
system:

Local codes may permit the use of a
U+L.+listed, 250-volt, 40 amp range power
supply cord (pigtaib+This cord contains

three, No++10 copper wires and matches

a three+wire receptacle of NEMAType
