LOCATION
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having
amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating plate
is located on oven frame.)

suggested location, a minimum of 23 7/8" above the
runners.

installation.
If a solid bottom is used instead of runners, a 6" x 10"
rectangle must be cut out of the bottom (SeeFig. 1) for
optimum performance and proper air circulation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1. De-energize range branch circuit.
2. With oven in front ofcabinetopening, connect
flexiblepowercabletothejunctionboxinsuch
amannerthatitwillhangdowninanaturalloop
against the left side of the back wall when the
oven is installed. Do not shorten this flexible
power cable. The flexible conduit connector
must be securely attached to the junction box
and the flexible conduit must be securely
attachedtotheconnector. Iftheflexibleconduit
will not fit within the connector, do not install
the oven until a connector of the proper size is
obtained.
All new construction, mobile homes and
installations where local codes do not allow
grounding through neutral, require a four-
conductorbranchcircuit. Forexistingconstruction,
a three-conductor branch circuit connection may
be used.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The three power
leads supplied with this appliance are U. L.
recognized for connection to larger gauge
household wiring. The insulation of these three
leads is rated at temperatures much higher than
the temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of a conductor is
governedbythetemperature ratingoftheinsulation
around the wire rather than the wire gauge alone.

FOUR CONDUCTOR
BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
• When installing in a new construction, or
• When installing range in a mobile home, or
• When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral:
1. Cuttheneutral(white)leadfromthecrimp. Restrip

2. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or
barecopper)totheresidencegroundingconductor
(green or bare) in accordance with local codes. If
the residence grounding conductor is aluminum,
see WARNING note.
3. Connecttherangeneutral(white)leadtothebranch
circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with
local codes.
4. Connect the range red lead to the branch circuit
red lead and the range black lead to the branch
circuit black lead in accordance with local codes.
If the residence red and black or white leads are
aluminum conductors, see WARNING note.

for joining copper to aluminum and
follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended procedure closely.

To remove the oven door:
1. Open the door to the stop position (see Fig. 3A).
2. Grasp the door at each side and lift up and off the
hinges (see Fig. 3B).
CAUTION:
When the door is removed and hinge

1. Hold the door over the hinges with the slots at
the bottom edge of the door lined up with the
hinges.
2. Slide the door down onto the hinges as far as
it will go and close the door.
