INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you begin, read the following instructions
completely and carefully. If followed, they will
simplify the installation job.
IMPORTANT: OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING
CODES AND ORDINANCES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL
ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.

STEP 1
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance may be connected by means of permanent “hard
wiring” or power supply cord kit.
It is the personal responsibility of the customer to contact a
qualified technician to assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code
ANSVNPFA 70- latest edition and local codes and ordinances.
THE RANGE MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE
ONLY. Aluminum wire must not be used to avoid potentially
unsatisfactory connections.
POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT
This appliance must be connected with a power supply cord kit
rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes, and marked for use
with ranges. Cord must have three (3) conductors.
For mobile home installation or in areas where local codes do not
permit grounding through neutral, a four (4) conductor power
supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes, and
marked for use with ranges shall 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.
MODELS WITH FACTORY-CONNECTED POWER SUPPLY
CORD
Some models may be equipped with a factory-connected, three
(3) conductor, power supply cord.
In mobile home installations or in areas where local codes do not
permit grounding through neutral, a four (4) conductor power
supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and
investigated for use with ranges shall be used. Terminals on end
of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with
upturned ends.

STEP 2
The back of a Free Standing Range may be Installed against
a vertical wall. The sides may be installed against base
cabinets or against vertical walls extending above the upper
edge of the cook top.
To prevent possible discoloration of the base cabinets,
the front of the oven frame must extend at least l/z” past the
front surface or cabinet doors of the base cabinets.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated surface
elements, cabinets or storage spaces should not be provided
over a range.
If cabinets are provided, the hazard can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minlmum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
CAUTION:
of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood
or metal cabinet. 24 inches minimum when bottom of wood
or metal cabinet is protected by not less than %-inch-thick
flame-retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28
MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stamless steel, 0.024-inchthick aluminum, or 0.020-inch-thick copper.
When installing the range between basecabinets, refer
to
Figure 1
seal range to cabinets.
CAUTION:
shipping bolts as these are the leveling legs.
If a service cord is used, the wall receptacle should be
located in accordance with the dimensions given in

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS
APPLIANCE
This appliance is manufactur;dwith the neutral terminal
connected to the frame.
1. If local codes permit connection of the frame
grounding conductor to the neutral wtre of the copper
power supply cord:
A. Remove the terminal block cover (lowest wire
cover).
B. The terminal nuts are taped to the frame below the
terminal block.
NOTE: Do not loosen factory installed nuts.
C. Connect the neutral wire of the copper power supply
cord to the center silver-colored terminal of the terminal
block and connect the other wires to the outer terminals,
See Figure 2.
Ring type terminals must be used on the copper power
supply cord wires.
D. Replace terminal block cover.
C. Connect the neutral wire of the copper power supply
cord to the center silver-colored terminal of the terminal
block and connect the other wires to the outer terminals.
See Figure
copper power supply cord wires.
D. Connect a separate insulated green-colored copper
grounding wire (No. 8 mlnimum) to a grounded cold
water pipe* by means of a clamp, and then to the frame
of the appliance with the grounding screw, using the
hole in the frame where the grounding strap was removed. See
pipe or hot water pipe. Do Not connect the copper power
supply cord to electric power until appliance IS permanently grounded. See Figure 4.
