WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
■ Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
■ Electrical supply junction box should be located on rear wall.
Bottom of junction box should be 30¾" (78.1 cm) max. from
top of countertop.
■ The anti-tip mounting screws must be installed. See “Install
Range” section.
■ 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 or
microwave range hood combination that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
■ Range support slats must be solid, level and flush with bottom
of cabinet cutout. Floor must be able to support a weight of
225 lbs (102.0 kg).
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.

Electrical Requirements
A
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.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
range is properly grounded.
This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and all local
codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

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 at the
bottom of the right-hand mounting rail. See the following
illustration.
Countertop Preparation
Front edges:
You may need to shave or cut the trim of formed or metal frontedged countertops to clear the 30" (76.2 cm) width of the
cooktop.
If countertop thickness is more than 1¹⁄₂" (3.8 cm) thick:
Countertop must be notched as shown to avoid damaging the
oven control panel.

■ Models rated from 12.7 kW at 240 volts (9.5 at 208 volts)
require a separate 50-amp circuit.
■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
■ Flexible cable from appliance should be connected directly to
the junction box.
■ Fuse both sides of the line.
■ Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the oven.
■ A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
