Before you start...

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

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:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don'timmediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed 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 what can happen if the instructions are 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 rating plate is located on the oven frame 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 surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

All openings in the wall or floor where ranges is to be installed must be sealed.

Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical requirements” section.

Mobile home installation

The installation of this range must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 [formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or with local codes.

When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards listed above.

Four-wire power supply cord or cable must be used in a mobile home installation. The appliance wiring will need to be revised. See “Four-wire electrical connection” section.

Slide-in ranges: countertop preparations

The cooktop sides of the slide-in range fit over the cutout edge of your countertop.

If you have a square finish (flat) countertop and the opening width is 30" (76.2 cm), no countertop preparation is required.

Formed front-edged countertops: Must have molded edge shaved flat 1/2" (1.3 cm) from each front corner of opening.

Tile countertops may need trim cut back 1/2" (1.3 cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened.

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, singlephase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or fourwire 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 fourwire 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.L.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (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

It 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, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* and all local codes and ordinances.

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

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

*National Fire Protection Association One Batterymarch Park

Quincy, Massachusetts, 02269

If 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 four-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See “Four-wire electrical connection” section.

When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used (see Figure 1, below), a matching U.L.-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 NEMA Type 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 be Type SRD or SRDT with a U.L.-listed strain relief and be at least 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

If 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 (pigtail). This cord contains three, No.-10 copper wires and matches a three-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R, shown in Figure 2. Connectors on the appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance.
