RANGE SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation instructions.

Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the slot of the anti-tip bracket. Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.

Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Range Foot

Anti-Tip

Bracket

To verify the anti-tip bracket is installed and engaged:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor or wall.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

• See installation instructions for details.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT; Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

• It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the frame behind a top

corner of the door or either side of the drawer. 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" (12.7 cm) beyond

the bottom of the cabinets.

• Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

• The anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-tip bracket shipped with the range, see "Install Anti-Tip Bracket"

section.

• Grounded electrical supply is required. See the appropriate "Electrical Requirements" section.

IMPORTANT; To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage. This oven has been designed in accordance with the requirements of UL and CSA International and complies with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194 ° (90°C).

Anti-tip bracket must be securely mounted to floor or wall. Thickness of flooring may require longer screws to anchor

bracket to floor.

Parts needed

If using a power supply cord kit:

• A UL listed power supply cord kit marked for use with ranges. The cord should be rated at 250 volts minimum, 40 amps or 50 amps that is marked for use with nominal 13/8"(3.5 cm) diameter connection opening and must end in ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with upturned ends.

• A UL listed strain relief.

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See the appropriate "Electrical Requirements" section.

It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a licensed, qualified electrical installer.

NOTE: This manual covers several models. Details of your range may differ from the range graphic shown above.

IMPORTANT: Range must be level after installation. Follow the instructions in the "Level Range" section. Using the cooktop as a reference for leveling the range is not recommended.

*Range can be raised approximately 1" (2.5 cm) by adjusting

the leveling legs.

**Front of door and drawer may extend further forward

depending on styling.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the range, follow the range hood or

microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

A freestanding range may be installed next to combustible walls with zero clearance.

cooking platform and the bottom of an uncovered wood or metal cabinet.

E)ectrica) Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local

codes. Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING" Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your range, you must determine the type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.

• Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the frame behind a top corner of the door or either side of the drawer. Refer to the figures in "Product Dimensions" in the "Location Requirements" section.

Range Rating Specified Rating of

Power Supply Cord Kit and Circuit Protection

A circuit breaker is recommended. The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker

box (or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See the "Electrical

Connection" section.

• Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

• A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box).

• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the range.

• The wiring diagram is located on the Tech Sheet.

• The Tech Sheet is located on the back of the range inside a clear plastic bag.

If connecting to a 3-wire system:

Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains 3 copper conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with upturned ends, terminating in a IEC 60309 plug on the supply end. Connectors on the appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance. This uses a 3-wire receptacle of IEC 60309.

220 Volts 230 Volts Amps

7.4- 13.8 KW 8.1 -15.1 KW 40 or 50"

13.9 - 18.9 KW 15.1 - 20.6 KW 50

*If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with

kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a

nominal 13/8"(34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.

3-wire receptacle (IEC 60309)
