model/serial rating plate is located on the oven frame behind
the left side of the broiler door.
A
A. Model/serial rating plate location
■ The range should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
■ Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of
the sides and rear of the range.
■ 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.
■ All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed
must be sealed.
■ Do not seal the range to the side 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.
■ Proper gas supply connection must be available. See “Gas
Supply Requirements” section.
■ Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the
floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
■ Use an insulated pad or ¼" (0.64 cm) plywood under range if
installing range over carpeting.
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°F (90°C).

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: The range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
latest edition.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path is adequate.

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp fused, electrical circuit is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this range be provided.
■ This range is equipped with a power supply cord having a
3 prong ground plug. To minimize possible shock hazard the
cord must be plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits,
but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. Check that
the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded.
This range is equipped with an electronic ignition system that
will not operate if plugged into an outlet that is not properly
polarized.
■ The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range in a
clear plastic bag.
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 the range is grounded.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use a new CSA International approved gas supply line.
Install a shut-off valve.
Securely tighten all gas connections.
If connected to LP, have a qualified person make sure
gas pressure does not exceed 14" (36 cm) water
column.
Examples of a qualified person include:
licensed heating personnel,
authorized gas company personnel, and
authorized service personnel.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
