Only qualified personnel should
install or service this range.

Read "Safety Instructions" in Use &
Care book before using range.

Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service, maintenance or

use of range can result in serious
injury or property damage.

CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS

For complete information in regard to installation of

freestanding range, see figures 1 and 2 on pages 2 and 3.

For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS do not install a range in
any combustible cabinetry which is not in accord with the

installation clearances shown in figure 1.

CAUTION: This range has been designed in

accordance with the requirements of various safety
agencies and complies with the maximum allowable

wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F. If this range

is installed with cabinets that have a lower working

temperature than 194°F, discoloration, delamination
or melting may occur.

I Your range may not be equipped with some of the features referred to in this

I manual. J

INSTALLATION DRAWINGS (Pages 2 & 3)

"A" = 30 inches (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between
the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an

unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or "A" = 24 inches
(61 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet

is protected by not less than 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) thick

flame-retardant millboard covered with not less than No.

28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch (0.381 mm) thick
stainless steel, 0.024-inch (0.610 mm) thick aluminum, or

0.020-inch (0.508 mm) thick copper.

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 (13 cm) beyond the bottom of the

cabinets.

MOBILE HOMES

LOCATING THE RANGE

The installation of a range designed for mobile home
installation 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

Place range in a well lit area. Do not set range over holes
in the floor or other locations where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any opening in the wall behind the range

and in the floor under the range should be sealed. Make
sure the flow of cooling/ventilation air is not obstructed

below the range.
Manufactured Home Installations 1982 (Manufactured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI

A225.1-1atest edition, or with local codes.

NOTE: A range should NOT be installed over kitchen

carpeting.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: A risk of range tip-over exists if the appliance

is not installed in accordance with the provided installation
instructions. The proper use of this device minimizes the

risk of TIP-OVER. tn using this device the consumer must
still observe the safety precautions as stated in the USE

and CARE MANUAL and avoid using the oven doors as a
step stool.

Installation instructions are provided for wood and cement
in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may

require special installation techniques as deemed
necessary to provide adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP

bracket to the floor or wall. The bracket may be installed
to engage the LEFT or RIGHT rear leveling foot.

NOTE: The bracket provided is designed for use with

flush mount and non-flush mount outlet receptacles.

Install the bracket with the orientation hole in the longer
leg against the wall or floor as shown in figures 3 and 4.

C. Use the bracket as a template and mark the required

holes, as shown in figure 3, for the type of
construction you will be using.

of each hole (a nail orawl may be used ifa drill is not

available). Secure the ANTI-TtP bracket to the floor

with the two screws provided. Proceed to STEP 3.

STEP 3 - Range Installation

A. A free-standing range may be installed by one person.

B. Align the range to its designated location and slide it

back into position. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4"
(6 mm) is required between the range and the leveling

foot that will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket, see figure

5.
CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range

is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or
backguard.

C. All freestanding ranges with a glass top have a non

lift-up top. Coil tops are lift-up.

D. For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS as well as optimum

performance adjust the range so that it is level. This
may be checked by placing a spirit level or a large

pan of water on the cooktop or the oven rack. tf an
adjustment is required pull the range forward, tip the
range and rotate the leveling feet as required.

E. To check the range for proper installation of the

anti-tip bracket: Use a flashlight and look underneath
the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear

leveling feet is engaged in the bracket slot.

F. Proceed with the remainder of the installation

instructions provided with the range.

CONNECTING THE RANGE

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
National Electric Code (NEC) ANSt/NFPA No. 70-latest
edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

ELECTRIC SUPPLY (Canada)

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
Canadian Electric Code CSA STD.C22.1 latest edition.

See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

the back of the range. The range is then connected to this
outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail)

fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain

relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the
opposite end.

RANGE CONNECTIONS

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with
service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range

connections necessary on these models. Just plug into
the range outlet. On models not provided with a service
cord, connection to the power supply is necessary.

REMEMBER - mobile homes and many LOCAL CODES
DO NOT PERMIT GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL.

Hence, 4-wire service MUST be provided for such
installations. 3-wire service may be used when permitted

by local code. Use COPPER WIRE ONLY. tf a flexible
power cord is required, it is recommended a cord no
longer than 4 ft. be used. Make connections as explained

below and with reference to the appropriate illustration
(see figures 7 and 8). After installation, insure tightness of

all electrical connections and replace all covers.
Remove terminal block access cover from range back.

(See figure 6).

RANGE CONNECTIONS (Canada)

This model was shipped direct from the factory with
service cord (pigtail) attached. There are no range

connections necessary. Just plug into the range outlet.
See figure 2 on page 3 for outlet location.

NOTE: Cord replacement - ONLY a power supply cord
rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes

power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal

1 3/8" (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with

closed loop terminals and marked for use with ranges
shall be used.

OUTSIDE WIRING

Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be

necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load

demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range
is specified on the rating plate located on flip-up plate at

the rear of upper left hand corner of backguard.

HOUSE WIRING

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All

wiring should conform to Local and National Electrical

Codes. This range requires a single phase three wire

120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes

require a separate circuit be run from the main entrance
panel to the range and that it be equipped with separate
disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main entrance

panel or in a separate switch and fuse box. In some
communities, a solid or flexible continuous armored

conduit must be used from main entrance panel to the
terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit
the termination of the range circuit at a polarized three or

four wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near
