range will be located and mark the floor or wall.

Place the BRACKET 15/16" (24 mm)from the marked "EDGE" toward center of opening and against the

back wall, as shown in figure 3, with orientation hole against wall.

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.

STEP 2 - Anti-Tip Bracket Installation

Options

A. Wood Construction:

1. Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified in figure 3 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Drill a 1/8"

(3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available).

Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the two screws provided. Proceed to Step 3.

. Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified

in figure 3 as "HOLES FOR WALL". Drill an angled 1/8" (3 mm) pilot hole in the center of each

hole as shown in figure 4. (A nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the

ANTI-TIP bracket to the wall with the two screws

provided as shown in figure 4. Proceed to STEP

a. Cement or Concrete Construction:

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

CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or backguard.

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.

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.

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

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

CONNECTING THE RANGE

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and National Electric Code (NEC) ANSt/NFPA No. 7O-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.

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 front of range.

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. tn 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

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.

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

by local code. USE COPPER OR ALUMINUM CONDUCTORS. Main terminal block is recognized for

Copper or Aluminum conductors. Make connections as explained below and with reference to the appropriate

illustration (see figures 6 and 7). After installation, insure tightness of all electrical connections and replace all

covers.

Remove terminal block access cover from range back. (See figure 5).

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 2 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.
