MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:
A. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring
and cabinets around the range can withstand the
heat (up to 200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the range.
B.Allow 30" (76.2cm) minimum clearance between
surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or
metal cabinet, or allow a 24" (60.96cm) minimum
when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected
by no less than 1/4" (.635cm) thick flame retardant

NOTE C
C.This appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a
B"(15.24cm) minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15" (38icm) above the cooktop and adjacent
cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space
above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above
the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5" (12.7cm) beyond
the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13" (33.02cm).
[TI ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
_WARNING This appliance must be properly grounded.
AWARNING To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
_,WARN[ NG To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range.
You must use a single-phase, 220-240 VAC, 50/60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven
according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse.
Use only a 3-conductor UL-listed range cord. This cord may be provided with ring terminals on wire
and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is
not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1-3/8" (3.49 cm) diameter
connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout
hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
The rating plate is located on the side of the drawer frame.

POWER CORD AND CONDUIT INSTALLATION
Remove wire cover (on the back of range) by removing screws using a 1/4" nut driver. You can
access the terminal block by either removing the terminal block cover (on some models) or the
wire cover. Do not discard these screws.

r_ For power cord and r' conduit only, remove the
knockout ring (1-3/8")located on bracket directly
below the terminal block. To remove the knockout,
use a pair of pliers to bend the knockout ring away
from the bracket and twist until ring is removed.
For power cord installations only (seethe next step if
using conduit), assemble the strain relief in the hole.
Insert the power cord through the strain relief and
loosely tighten the clamp screw. Allow enough slack
to easily attach the cord terminals to the terminal
block. If tabs are present at the end of the winged
strain relief, they can be removed for better fit.
NOTE;Donot installthe power cord without a strain relief.

and tighten.Allow enough slackto easilyattach the wires tothe terminal block. NOTE:Donot install the
conduit without a squeeze connector. The squeeze connector MUSTbe installed before reinstalling
the rear range wiring cover.

r_ ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
If the range is rated between 8,750 and 16,500 watts, the cord kit or conduit must be rated for
40 amps - 250 volts.
. When using a cord kit rated 40 amps, remove the knockout in the connection @ate. You must use
a clamp or strain relief to hold the cord.
• Terminations must be either closed loop terminals or open end spade lugs.
Three-Wire Cord Connection Kit or Conduit
1.Remove the screws on the terminal block.
2. Install the three-wire cord kit and strain relief in the hole in the connection plate.
3. Attach the green lead below the terminal block with the grounding screw and tighten screw.
4. Connect the red and black leads to the outside terminals and tighten screws.
5. Push the cord upward (to relieve strain), while tightening the strain relief clamp.

ITI ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION
Tip-Over Hazard
, Achild oradult cantip therangeand bekilled.
Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
Engagethe rangeto the anti-tip bracket bysliding the
rangebacksuchthat the foot isengaged.
, Re-engagethe anti-tip bracket if the rangeis moved.
, Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.
To reduce the risk of tipping
the range, the range must
be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions
shipped with the bracket for
complete details before
attempting to install.
To check if the bracket
is installed and engaged
properly, look underneath
the range to see that the rear
leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. Onsome models,the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed
for easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible,slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket
is securely attached to the floor or wall and slide the range back so the leveling leg is under the anti-tip
bracket, if the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not
be secured to the anti-tip bracket.

191 FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Check to make sure the circuit breaker isclosed (RESET)orthe circuit fuses ore replaced.
•Be sure power is in service to the building.
•Check that oil packing materials and tope hove been removed. Thiswill include tope on metal panel under
control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tope, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove
these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has beenturned on and
surfaces have heated.
•Check that the door and drawer ore parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly. If they
do not, see the Owner's Manual for proper replacement.
•Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg isfully inserted into the AntPTip bracket and that the bracket
issecurely installed.
OPERATION CHECKLIST
•Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds.Turn the unit
off when glow isdetected. Ifthe glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring
connections. Ifchange is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for
proper connections and voltage.
• Check that the Clock (on models so equipped) display is energized. If a series of horizontal red
lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections.
Ifchange is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for
proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock bechanged if the red lines appear.
•Be sure all range controls are in the OFFposition before leaving the range.
