Be sure to leave these instructions with the consumer.
Important Note to the Consumer
Keep these instructions with your owner's guide for future
reference.
As when using any appliance generating heat, there are
certain safety precautions you should follow. These are
listed in the Use & Care Manual, read it carefully.
Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by
a qualified installer or service technician.
Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand the heat generated by the range.
To eliminate the need to reach over the surface elements,
cabinet storage space above the elements should be
avoided.
BEFORE STARTING
Tools You Will Need

• 5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver
• Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit _
(Masonry Drill Bit if installing in concrete)
For electrical supply connection:
• 1/4" & 3/8" Socket driver or Nutdriver
Additional Materials You Will Need:
• Power Supply Cord or
• Copper Electrical Wiring & Metal Conduit
(for hard wiring)
NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS
1 ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must
be secured to the floor by properly installed Anti-Tip
Bracket and screws packed with the range. Failure to
install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if
excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child
climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot
liquids or from the range itself.
If range is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip
Bracket must also be moved and installed with the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement
fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the
wall, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall
and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the
floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical
wiring or plumbing.
la, Locate the Bracket
using the Template -
(Bracket may be located
on either the left or right
side of the range. Use the
information below to locate
the bracket if template is
not available). Fig 4
Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the range
will be located. If rear of range is against the wall or no
further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you may use
the wall or floor mount method. If molding is installed and
does not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall,
remove molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall
mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the
template against the rear wall and the side edge of template
on the mark made referencing the side of the range (See
Fig. 4). Place bracket on top of template and mark location
of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than
1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket to the
floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing back
edge of the template where the rear of the range will be
located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in
template.
lb. Drill Pilot Holes & Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot
hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be
mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20 °
downward angle (See Fig. 5).
If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors,
drill a 3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided

may be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16"
nut-driver or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket in
place (See Fig. 6).
lc. Level and Pesitien Range - Level range by adjusting
the (4) leveling legs with a wrench. NOTE: A minimum
clearance of 1/8" is required between the bottom of the
range and the leveling leg to allow room for the bracket.
Use a spirit level to check your adjustments. Slide range
back into position (See Fig. 7).
Visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and
fully secured by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower
panel or storage drawer. For models with a Warmer
Drawer or broiler compartment, grasp the top rear edge of
the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS - This
appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 -- latest edition -- and
Local Electrical Code requirements.
This appliance may be connected by means of "Permanent
Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit."
When installing Permanent Wiring, do not leave excess
wire in range compartment. Excess wire in the range
compartment may not allow the Rear Access Cover to be
replaced properly and could create a potential electrical
hazard if wires become pinched. Connect only as
instructed under "PERMANENT WIRE CONNECTIONS" in
Step 4b. When using flexible conduit or range cable use
flex connector or range cable strain relief (See Fig. 10).
2a. Models with Factory Connected Power Supply
Cord. NOTE: Some models may have a factory
installed three (3) conductor Power Supply Cord.
See Range Connection Opening Size Chart (Figs. 8 & 9)
for cord kit ampere rating information. Terminals on end of
wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs
with upturned ends.
2b, MODELS REQUIRING POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT.
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY OCCUR IF
AN INCORRECT SIZE RANGE CORD KIT IS USED, THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED
OR STRAIN RELIEF BRACKET IS DISCARDED.
This appliance may be connected by means of a power
supply cord. Only a power supply cord kit rated at 125/250
volts minimum, and marked for use with ranges shall be
used. See Fig. 9 for cord kit ampere rating information.
Cord must have either three (3) or four (4) conductors.
Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or
open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have
strain relief properly installed. See Step 4a for 2-Wire
Power Cord Connections.
3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO RANGE
The Rear Access Cover must be removed (Fig 8). To
remove, loosen center screw (one screw) and remove
cover. The terminal block will then be accessible.
NOTE: Range is shipped flom factory with 1-3/8" dia. hole as shown. To
use either 7/8" dia. hole or 1-1/8" dia. knockouts refer to Fig. 9.

4a. POWER CORD CONNECTIONS
This range must be connected to a power source either with a Power
Cord or by Permanent Wire Connections. Follow either step 4a or 4b
for electrical connections. Before wiring the range review the
suggested power source location drawing in Fig. 3.
1. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions supplied with
the strain relief and install (Also see Figs. 8, 9, & 10).
2. Insert the end connectors for Line 1, Line 2 and Neutral and
tighten securely to the terminal block (See Fig. 11).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut
connections which secure the range wiring to the terminal block.
Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if
these nuts are loosened or removed.
3. Make sure all connections are tightened securely and replace the
rear access cover (See Fig. 8).
Grounding Instructions: A ground strap is installed on this range
which connects the center terminal of the terminal block (Neutral) to
the range chassis. The ground strap is connected to the range by the
center, lowest screw (See Fig. 11). The ground strap must not be
removed unless National, State or Local Codes do not permit use of a
ground strap.
Separate Strain Relief
before installation
NOTE: If the ground strap is removed for any reason, a separate
ground wire must be connected to the separate ground screw
attached to the range chassis and to an adequate ground source.
4b. 2-WIRE PERMANENT WIRE CONNECTIONS
Before wiring the range, review the suggested power source location
drawings in Fig. 3.
1. Followthe manufacturer's installation instructions supplied with the
strain relief and install (Also see Figs. 8, 9, & 10).
2. Strip insulation away from the ends of the permanent wiring for Line
1, Line 2 & Neutral.Tighten all 3 wire leads to the terminal block
(Follow wire locations shown in Fig. 12).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LOOSEN the factory installed nut
connections which secure the range wiring to the terminal block.
Electrical failure or loss of electrical connection may occur if these
nuts are loosened or removed.
3 Make sure all connections are tightened securely and replace the
rear access cover (See Fig. 8).
Note: Non-terminated field wire compression connections must be set at
approximately 22in./Ibs. Always use 10 ga. wire or larger.
5. CAREFULLY SLIDE RANGE INTO FINAL LOCATION.
Be sure to provide allthe adequate clearances and dimensions shown in Figs.
1, 2 & 3 on Page 1 before moving range into final location.
Carefully slide range into final position while inserting rear leveling leg into
and FULLY ENGAGING THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET (See Fig. 7). Make sure
the power cord folds into the remaining open floor area behind the range
Warmer or storage drawer. Be sure to check the level of the range.
