Minimum dimensions between cooktop, walls, and above the cooktop:
A. Make sure that the wall covering, countertop, flooring, and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to
200° F) generated by the range. There should be 0 in. clearance to the cabinets below the cooktop and at the back of
the range.
B. Allow a minimum clearance of 30 in. (76.2 cm) between surface units and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal
cabinets, or allow a minimum of 24 in. (60.1 cm) when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less
than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) thick flame retardant millboard, covered with no less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, (.015 in.
[.04 cm]), .015 in. (.04 cm) thick stainless steel, .024 in. (.06 cm) aluminum, or .020 in. (.05 cm) copper.
C. This appliance has been approved for 0 in. spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a 6 in. (15.2 cm)
minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15 in. (38 cm) 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, you should avoid cabinet storage space
above the cooktop. 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 in. (12.7 cm) beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop
must be no deeper than 16 in. (40.6 cm).
Step 3: Electrical Requirements
This appliance must be properly grounded.
All new construction, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and installations where local codes do not
allow grounding through a neutral, require a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord.
To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
To prevent electrical shock, remove house fuses or open circuit breakers before beginning the
installation.
We recommend that 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 the power from the range.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors, approved for use with aluminum wiring, must be used.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a
4-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, mobile homes,
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the
section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utility for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to
governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your oven must be wired and fused
to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection
Association.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper electrical 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 or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire
and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended
but, if used, should be marked for use with nominal 13⁄8 in. (3.5 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 oven frame or on the side of the drawer frame.
Step 4: Power Cord And Conduit Installations
A. Access the terminal block by removing the terminal block cover (and attached wire cover) from the back of the range.
To remove the cover, remove the screws shown in the image below using a 1/4 in. (.64cm) nut driver. Do not discard
these screws.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliances are not
recommended for this product.

B. For power cord and 1 in. (2.5 cm) conduit installations only, remove the knockout ring located on the 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 the ring is removed.
C. For power cord installations only (see the next step if using conduit), assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the
power cord through the strain relief and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the power cord terminals to the
terminal block. If tabs are present at the end of the winged strain relief, they can be removed for a better fit.
D. For 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) conduit installations only, purchase a squeeze connector matching the diameter of your conduit
and assemble it in the knockout hole. Insert the conduit through the squeeze connector and tighten. Allow enough
slack to easily attach the wires to the terminal block.
Note: Do not install the power cord without a strain relief. The strain relief bracket MUST be installed before
reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.
Note: Do not install the conduit without a squeeze connector. The squeeze connector MUST be installed before

Step 7: Installing the Anti-Tip Device
Tip Over Hazard
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket, provided with the unit, to
the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is 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. On some 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. Do not completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip bracket.
