Electrical Requirements
Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualied electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
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, ANSI/
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
1 Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02169-7471
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualied electrician or service technician 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 t the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
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 specied on the model/serial rating
plate. The model/serial rating plate is located under the
storage drawer. See the installation instructions on how to
remove the storage drawer. Refer to the gures in “Product
Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section.
■ This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40 or 50A
power supply cord (pigtail) (see the following Range Rating
chart). If local codes do not permit ground through the
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 V, 40 or
50 A and investigated for use with ranges.

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected
load listed on the model/serial rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50 A circuit, use a 50 A rated cord with
kit. For 50 A rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with
a nominal 1³⁄8" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
■ A circuit breaker is recommended.
■ The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker
box (or fused disconnect) through exible or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See the “Electrical
Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
■ Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) 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 (at the 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.
If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the
neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green
ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the
cabinet. See “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section.
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 V, 40 or 50 A, 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 14-50P plug on the
supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be identied 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 A 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 V, 40
or 50 A range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains
3copper 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.

Install Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING
Edge A
3. It is necessary to determine the nal location of the range
before you can locate the anti-tip bracket. If the range is
going to be located between cabinets, place the bracket so
that Edge A sits at against the rear wall. Edge B should just
touch the side of the cabinet sitting to the right side of the
range.
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation
instructions.
Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the
slot of the anti-tip bracket.
Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.
Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed
and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or serious burns to children and adults.
1. Remove the anti-tip bracket from inside the literature bag
assembly located in the oven.
2. Determine which mounting method to use: oor or wall.
If you have a stone or masonry oor, you can use the wall
mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile
home, you must secure the range to the oor.
Location C
If there are no adjacent cabinets, align Edge B of the bracket
with the edge of the range side. After the bracket has been
placed mark the hole locations with a marker.
4. The anti-tip bracket can be attached to the oor or the wall.
For wall mount application use Location C. When using
location C, the screws must penetrate the wall sill plate
located within the wall. For oor mount application use
Location D or E. One screw on each side of the bracket is
sufcient.
5. To mount anchor bracket to concrete or ceramic oor, use a
drill with a 3/16" masonry bit to drill the two holes. Tap plastic
anchor into mounting holes in oor with hammer. Line up
holes in anti-tip bracket to holes in oor. Use the two screws
provided to fasten anti-tip bracket to oor.
6. Unscrew the rear leg levelers approximately 1/2" so that the
rear leg levelers will slide in under the anti-tip bracket. Slide
range into the nal position after completing the gas and
electrical connections to the range.
