Figure 3: Electrical Outlet Placement
Verify that wiring inside house is adequate.
Most wiring codes require a separate circuit with separate disconnect switch and
fuses either in the main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box. Most
local building regulations and codes require that electrical wiring be done by
licensed electricians. Be sure to install your range according to the electric codes
in place in your region.
General Information Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC. See
Table 1, “Electrical Specifications,” on page 6 for power ratings and circuit breaker
sizes based upon the supply voltage for each model.
We recommend that the range be installed with a UL approved power cord set
(not supplied). The electrical rating of the power cord set must be 120/240 volt, 50
amperes minimum. The power cord set shall be marked “For Use with Ranges.”
Always use a new power cord. Alternatively, the range can also be hard wired
using the terminal lugs included in the literature pack. If using this connection,
flexible conduit must also be used (not supplied).
We recommend a 50 AMP, 60 Hz, 4 wire circuit; However, the NEC (National
Electric Code) allows for some ranges to be installed on a 40 AMP circuit. Refer to
your local electric code requirements in order to determine the required amperage. Always choose a range power cord set that is rated for the circuit. In compliance with the NEC, a separate circuit is also recommended.
Note:
In Canada, the range is shipped from the factory with the range cord
already installed.
English 5
Installation
For installations other than those in Canada, install the strain relief and connect
the range cord (or wire conductors) as described in the following steps.
Table 1: Electrical Specifications
Check data plate for kW rating. Reference kW rating in table to determine
amperage requirements.

Installation Procedure
Installation Tips • Tape warming drawer or storage drawer shut to keep it from opening while
installing the range.
• During installation, place a portion of the box or a piece of cloth under the
range to protect floors.
• To make range lighter and easier to handle, remove door (see instructions in
Use and Care manual).
Install Ventilation We strongly recommend the installation of a ventilation hood above this range.
For most kitchens a certified hood rating of not less than 300 CFM is recommended. The range hood must be installed according to instructions furnished
with the hood.
Prepare Walls and Floor Seal any holes in the walls or floor. Remove any obstructions (extra electrical or
gas connections, etc.) so that range will rest against wall properly.
Prepare Range Place range in front of cabinets where it is to be installed. Remove any packaging.
Install Strain Relief
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block. See Figure 4: Electrical Connection and Strain Relief Knockout Panel Locations. Feed range cord through
hole and strain relief up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord between the
strain relief and terminal block. Once cord length/ slack has been adjusted, attach
strain relief per instructions included with strain relief.
WARNING:
The strain relief provided with your range cord must be properly
installed.
Tip:
The knockout panel (below the terminal block) can be removed from
the range to install the strain relief: Remove panel from range, install
strain relief in panel and reattach. DO NOT remove entire range back
panel.

Connect Electric There are four possible electrical connections:
1. Four (4) wire range cord
2. Three (3) wire range cord
3. Four (4) wire flexible conduit connection (hard wire)
4. Three (3) wire flexible conduit connection (hard wire)
Installation
The four wire range cord connection is the recommended method, but where local
codes permit, three wire connections are also acceptable.
As an alternative to the range cord, the appliance can also be hard wired with
either a three or four wire connection. In this case, the terminal lugs supplied must
be used.
Always verify that your chosen connection complies with all applicable codes.
Table 1, “Electrical Specifications,” on page 6.
WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock, the grounding prong on the range cord
should not be cut or removed under any circumstances. It must be
plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle and connected to a
correctly polarized 240- Volt circuit. If there is any doubt as to whether
the wall receptacle is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING:
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to neutral through a
ground strap. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for
new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor.
For installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited, (a)
disconnect the link from the neutral, (b) use grounding terminal or lead to ground
unit, (c) connect neutral terminal to lead branch circuit neutral in usual manner
