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.

1.__ 1 Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot,

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

iMPORTANT:

Save for local electrical inspector's use.

Installer: Leave installation instructions with the homeowner.

Homeowner: Keep installation instructions for future reference.

INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the safety instructions provided with any tools

listed here.

Tools needed

• Tape measure • %" drive rachet

• Flat-blade screwdriver • 1A"nut driver

• Level • %" and SA6"nut driver

• Hammer • 1/s"(3.2 mm) drill bit (for

• Hand or electric drill wood floors)

• Channel lock pliers • 3A6"(4.8 mm) carbide-tipped

masonry drill bit (for

• Marker or pencil concrete/ceramic floors)

• Masking tape

Parts supplied

Checkthat all parts are included.

A. Anti-tip bracket

B. Plastic anchors (2)

C. #10 x _" screws (2)

Brackets must be securely mounted to subfloor. Thickness of

flooring may require longer screws to anchor bracket to

subfloor. Longer screws are available from your local hardware

store.

Parts needed

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See

"Electrical Requirements" section.

All electrical connections should be made by a licensed, qualified

electrical installer.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or

electrical shock.

• 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 oven frame behind

the storage drawer panel.

• The range should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.

• 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 floor 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 "Electrical

Requirements" section.

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.

Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured

Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280

(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and

Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When such standard is not

applicable, use the Standard for Manufactured Home

Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or follow local codes.

Mobile home installations require:

• 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 cord or cable must be used in a

mobile home installation. The appliance wiring will need to be

revised. See "Electrical Connection" section.

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.

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 use an extension cord.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate

and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA

70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park,

Quincy, MA 02269.

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 number rating

plate. (The model/serial number rating plate is located on the

oven frame behind the storage drawer panel.)

• When a 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase 120/240 volt, 60 Hz, AC

only electrical supply is available (or, if specified on the model/

serial rating plate, when a 4-wire or 3-wire single phase

120/208 volt 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is available), a

40- or 50-amp maximum circuit protection is required, fused

on both sides of the line.

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect

(or circuit breaker box) through flexible, armored or

nonmetallic sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See

"Electrical Connection."

• Allow 2 to 3 ft 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 (atthe 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 back of the range or

inside the storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.

If connecting to a 4-wire system:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the

cabinet. The ground must be revised so the green grounding wire

of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See

"Electrical Connection."

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new

branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and

recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit

grounding through the neutral conductor.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a

matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range power

supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper

conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with

upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50R 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 UL listed strain relief

and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) long.

4-wire receptacle (14-50R)

The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power

cord are:

40-amp circuit

2 No,-8 conductors

1 No.-10 white neutral

1 No.-8 green grounding

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 NEMA

Type 10-50P 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 NEMA Type

10-50R.

3-wire receptacle (10-50R)

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard
