Figure 1 contains many range measurements for reference when planning your kitchen and/or range location.

Clearances and Dimensions

•Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.

•Dimensions that are shown in Figure 2 must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. There needs to be a 30-inch minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinets or a 24-inch minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinets are protected by not less than a 1/4-inch flame retardant millboard covered with not less than no. 29 msg sheet-steel, 0.015-inch stainless steel, 0.024-inch aluminum or 0.020-inch copper. Note that the gray shaded area on Figure 2 indicates the location for the electrical receptacle/connection.

•Contact surface must be solid and level. Pay special attention to the floor. Be sure it is solid enough for the weight of the range.Checkthatthefloorcoveringissmoothandflatandthat it adheres to the sub-floor solidly.

•Check location where the range will be installed for proper electrical supply.

Important Safety Instructions

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,afireorelectricalshockmayresultcausingpropertydamage, personal injury or death.

• All Ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

• Install Anti-Tip bracket packed with Range

• See Anti-Tip bracket Template for Installation Instructions

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, it must be secured by properly installed Anti-Tip bracket packed with the range.

•This range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in their absence, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70—latest edition in United States.

•The installation of ranges designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, title 24CFR, 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 Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI Z225. 1/NFPA 501Alatest edition, or with local codes in United States.

•Make sure the wall coverings and the cabinets around the range can withstand the heat generated by the range.

Installation Manual

•Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least 90˚F (32.2˚C) above room temperature without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4-inch (0.64cm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

Neverleavechildrenaloneorunattendedinthe area where an range is in use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all ranges. Never leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and can also cause damage to the range.

•Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets abovetherange.Children could be seriously burned climbing on the range to reach items.

•To eliminate the need to reach over the cooktop, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided.

•Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates a potentially hazardous situation.

•Never use the range for warming or heating the room.

•Donotstoreorusegasolineorotherflammablevaporsand liquidsnearthisoranyotherrange.Explosionsorfirescould result.

•Reset all controls to the “off” position after using a programmable timing operation.

When using the Self-Clean Feature:

•Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess spillage. Follow the precleaning instructions in the Operation Manual.

Electrical Connections

The installer or consumer is responsible for connecting the power supply cord to the connection block located behind the back panel access cover.

This range may be connected by means of permanent “hard wiring”

(flexiblearmoredornonmetallicshieldedcopperoraluminumcable), or by means of a power supply cord kit. Only a power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts or 208 volts and 50 amperes and marked for use with ranges shall be used. Cord must have either 3 or 4 conductors to match electric receptacle. The power cord kit is not included so must be purchase at an appliance store.

For mobile homes, new installations, recreational vehicles or areas where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a 4 conductor power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts or 208 volts minimum, 50 amperes and marked for use with ranges should be used.

Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have strain-relief clamp. The range connection opening should be 1 3/8-inches.
