Before you begin

Read these instructions completely and carefully. If followed, they will simplify the installation job.

If your range does not have a microwave upper oven, disregard the following microwave information.

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Failure to follow these instructions could lead

to fire or electrical shock hazard.

A. Space requirements

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

1. Door (bent)

2. Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

3. Door seals and sealing surfaces.

The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

The oven should be checked for microwave leakage by qualified service personnel after a repair is made.

Do not operate the oven if the door glass is broken.

7”

MAX.

Height for range with eye-level oven plus vent hood: 7l-7/8” min.

Height for range with eye-level oven alone: 66-l/8” min.

B= C= Width between counters: 30-318” to 30-l/2”. D= Height of countertop: 35.5/8” to 36.13/16”.

Depth: 22-112”.

Pigtail receptacle location: 8” to 22” from either cabinet, 7” max. from floor.

To prevent discoloration of base cabinet, front of oven frame must extend at least l/2” beyond front surface of cabinets.

Do not seal range to cabinets.

The copper power cord (pigtail) must run downward, left or right to the wall receptacle to avoid pinching the cord between rear portion of the range and wall.

Top of eye-level oven may be installed against bottom of overhead cabinet. However, for easy installation and removal, allow

1” clearance between oven top and cabinet. or 1” clearance between hood top and cabinet. When hood is attached to cabinet, allow 1” clearance between hood bottom and oven top.

The back of a free-standing range may be installed against a vertical wall. Sides may be installed against base cabinets or against vertical walls extending above upper edge of the cook top.

CAUTION:

Reaching over heated surface elements causes risk _. being burned. To eliminate hazard, cabinets should NOT be installed above range.

If cabinets are already provided, reduce hazard by instal-

ling a range hood. Hood should project horizontally beyond bottom of cabinets by a minimum of 5 inches.

I-If

B.Check microwave for damage

Remove all packing material from the oven cavity. When

unpacking the unit, check for damage such as misaligned door, damaged gaskets around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, please do not operate the unit until it has been checked by an authorized Whirlpool trained service technician.

C. Electrical requirements

Wire size and connectors must conform to the ampere rating of the range as stated in paragraph C-l.

IMPORTANT:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE

WARNING: DO NOT PLUG THE “PIGTAIL” POWER CORD INTO A LIVE WALL RECEPTACLE PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK.

1. This appliance must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on nameplate. Models rated at 15 KW on 240 volts (11.25 KW on 208 V) or more require a separate 50 ampere circuit. Models rated less than 15 KW on 240 volts (11.25 KW on 208 V) require a separate 40 ampere circuit. Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT fuse the neutral. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code and/or local codes and ordinances for the kilowatt rating of the range. The nameplate is located on the front frame of the main oven behind the main door. For the Eye-level Microwave, it is on the front frame behind microwave oven door.

2. All wires ending at the appliance must terminate in ring type terminals.

3. All power cords and cables to appliance must be fitted with a UL approved strain relief.

4. The range should be connected with copper wire only. Aluminum wire requires special connectors. Improper use may create a fire hazard.

5. Appliance may be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. Do not use an extension cord. Allow 4 feet (min.) slack so appliance can be moved for servicing. Wire sizes must conform to the ampere rating of the range. See paragraph C-l above.

6. WARNING: THE TERMINAL BLOCK ON THE APPLIANCE ACCEPTS COPPER WIRE ONLY, NOT ALUMINUM. IF ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING MUST BE CONNECTED, USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES:

BEFORE

CORD IS

Attach special ring connectors to the aluminum house wiring that are UL listed and designed for joining copper to aluminum. These special ring connectors (available at electrical supply houses) can be attached directly to the range terminal block.

The connectors must conform to the ampere rating of the range as stated in paragraph C-l.

7. If local codes permit, your range may be connected with a three wire flexible type, UL listed “pigtail” power cord of the proper ampere rating.* Plug must match a 3-wire NEMA type lo-50R receptacle (shown below).

8. CAUTION: FOR MOBILE HOME USE, A 4-WIRE POWER CORD MUST BE USED. This appliance is manufactured with ground connected to frame. This must be revised so green ground wire of 4-wire power cord is connected to frame.

If using a 4-wire NEMA type 14-50R receptacle (shown above) you must use a matching 4-wire UL listed “pigtail” power cord. Cord should be type SRD or SRDT, at least 4 feet long with all conductors ending in ring terminals at the appliance.

MINIMUM CONDUCTOR SIZE. . . (4-WIRE COPPER POWER CORD)

For 40 ampere circuits: two No. 8 conductors, one No. 10 white neutral, and one No. 8 green ground.

For 50 ampere circuits: two No. 6 conductors, one No. 8 neutral and one No. 6 green ground.

*CAUTION: Power Cord Requirements - Only a power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts, 50 amperes and investigated for use with ranges shall be used.

l Connect copper wire to the range terminal block

(using ring terminals).

l Connect the copper wire to the aluminum house

wiring using special connectors UL listed and designed for joining copper to aluminum.
