Do not pinch the power supply cord
between the range and the wall.
Do not seal range to side cabinets.
Read electrical and carpentry
instructions.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
A qualified technician must install this
range. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation. It is the
customer’s responsibility to make sure
that the countertop has been properly
prepared and that the installation
clearances specified on the model/serial
rating plate are met. The model/serial
rating plate is located on the oven frame
behind the drawer.
Check location where range will be
installed. The range should be located for
convenient use in the kitchen. Recessed
installations must provide complete
enclosure of the sides and rear of range.
All openings in the wall or floor where
range is to be installed must be sealed.
IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building
materials are not designed to withstand
the heat produced by the oven for baking
and self-cleaning. Check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure
that the materials used will not discolor,
delaminate or sustain other damage.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
— latest edition*, or CSA Standard C22.1,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 — latest
edition**, and all local codes and
ordinances.
NOTE:The metal chassis of the range
must be grounded in order for the
control panel to work. If the metal
chassis of the range is not grounded, no
keypads will operate. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the metal chassis of range is
grounded.
Mobile home installation
The installation of this range must
conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standards, Title
24 CFR, 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 Homes
Installations (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Setups), ANSI
A225.1/NFPA 501A, or with local codes*.
In Canada, the installation of this range
must conform with the current standards
CAN/CSA-Z240 — latest edition**, or
with local codes.
When this range is installed in a mobile
home, it must be secured to the floor
during transit. Any method of securing
the range is adequate as long as it
conforms to the standards listed above.
Four-wire power supply cable must be
used in a mobile home installation. The
appliance wiring will need to be revised.
See four-wire electrical connection,
Page 6.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
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 inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
Grounded electrical outlet is required.
See “Electrical requirements,” section.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are
shown must be used. Given dimensions
are minimum clearances.
(Bracket must be securely mounted to
sub-floor. Thickness of flooring may
require longer screws to anchor the
bracket to sub-floor.)

If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure range is grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
ground circuit.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground range.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
B.Wire sizes and connections must
conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 — latest edition* or CSA Standard
C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1 — latest edition** and all local
codes and ordinances for the kilowatt

Electrical connection
Power supply cord method
4
(Not used for Canadian
installations)
This range can be connected directly to
the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
box) through flexible, armored conduit.
Allow two to three feet of slack in the line
so that it can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary.
A U.L.-listed cable conduit connector
must be provided at each end of the
power supply cable (at the range and at
the junction box).
Remove the terminal block cover located
on the back of range.
Depending on your electrical supply,
make the four-wire or three-wire
connection to the range following the
“Power supply cord method” or “Direct
wire method” instructions.

Local codes may permit the
use of a U.L.-listed, 250volt, 40 amp range power
supply cord (pigtail). This
cord contains three, No.-10
copper wires and matches
a three-wire receptacle of
NEMA Type 10-50R.
Connectors on the
appliance end must be provided at the
point the power supply cord enters the
appliance.
If connecting to a
four-wire electrical system...
If connecting to a
three-wire electrical system...
This range is manufactured with the
ground connected to the cabinet. The
ground must be revised so the green
grounding wire of the four-wire power
supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See “Four-wire electrical connection”
section.
When a four-wire receptacle
of NEMA Type 14-50R is
used, a matching U.L.-listed,
four-wire, 250-volt, 40 amp,
range power supply cord
(pigtail) must be used. This
cord contains four copper
conductors with ring
terminals at the appliance
end, terminated in a NEMA Type 14-50P
plug on the supply end. The fourth
(grounding) conductor must be identified
by a green or green/yellow cover and the
neutral conductor by a white cover. Cord
should be Type SRD or SRDT with a U.L.listed strain relief and be at least four
feet long.
The minimum conductor sizes for the
copper four-wire power cord are:
40 amp circuit
2, No.-8 conductors
1, No.-10 white neutral
1, No.-8 green grounding
4-wire wall
receptacle
(14-50R)
3-wire wall
receptacle
(10-50R)
1. Disconnect power.
2. Remove the knockout for the 40 amp
power supply cord.
3. Assemble a U.L.-listed strain relief in
the opening.
4. Insert the power supply cord through
the strain relief, allowing enough slack
to easily attach the wiring to the
terminal block.
5. Use either ring-type terminals or spade
terminals with upturned ends to
connect the power supply. To secure
the power supply cord, use the 3/8"
brass nuts attached to the knockout
opening. Be sure nuts are installed
tight.
6. Complete electrical connection
according to your type electrical supply
(“Four-wire electrical connection” or
“Three-wire electrical connection”).
WARNING - Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman
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.
