CLEARANCES AND DIMENSIONS (Figure 1)
To install range refer to the following Figure 1.
For installation in CANADA, a Free-standing range is not to be installed closer than 12 mm from any
adjacent surface.
MINIMUM DIMENSIONS (Figure 2)
* 30”(76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an
unprotected wood or metal cabinet; or 24”(60.9 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is
protected by not less than 1/4”(6.4 cm) flame retardant millboard covered with not less than no. 28 MSG
sheet steel, 0.015”(0.381 mm) stainless steel, 0.024”(0.610 mm) aluminum or 0.020”(0.508 mm) copper.
** 15”(38.1 cm) minimum between countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.

Part 2 PREPARE TO INSTALL THE RANGE
CAUTION This range has been designed to
comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet
temperatures of 194°F. Make sure the wall
covering, countertop and cabinets around the range
can withstand the heat (up to 194°F) generated by the
range. If not discoloration, delamination or melting
may occur.
IMPORTANT To eliminate the risk of burns
or fire by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of
5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Conduit connection plate is used for the installation of
power cord or conduit. For power cord, install it with
conduit connection plate as manufacturer supplied.
For conduit cord, remove the conduit connection plate
located below the rear of the drawer body and use the
conduit hole (11/8”) instead of power cord hole (13/8”).
(Refer to Figure 8.)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be installed and grounded on a
branch circuit by a qualified technician in accordance
with the National Electrical code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 -
latest edition.
All wiring should conform to Local and NEC. This
range requires a single-phase, 3 wire, A.C 120/208V or
120/240V 60Hz electrical system. Use only a 3-conductor
or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord with closed-
loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with upturned
ends or similar terminations. Cord must have the
strain relief properly installed.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 120/240 minimum
volt range is required. If a 50 amp range cord is used,
it should be marked for use with 13⁄8” diameter
connection openings.
This appliance may be connected by means of conduit
or power cord. If conduit is being used, go to page 6
3 wire conduit connections or page 7 for 4 wire
conduit connections.
WARNING
New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile
homes, recreational vehicles, and installations
where local codes do not allow grounding through
neutral require a 4-conductor UL listed range cord
or 4 wire conduit connection.
4 Wire receptacle (14-50R)
3 Wire receptacle (10-50R)

5
Install the power cord as follows:
For power cord installations, Hook the strain relief
over the power cord hole (13/8”) located below the rear
of drawer body. Insert the power cord through the
strain relief and tighten it. (Refer to Figure 5.)
You must install the power cord with a strain relief.
1. Remove the lower 3 screws from the terminal block
and retain them. (Refer to Figure 6.)
2. Insert the 3 screws through each power cord
terminal ring and into the lower terminals of the
terminal block.
Make sure that the center wire (white/neutral) is
connected to the center lower position of the
terminal block.
3. Tighten 3 screws securely into the terminal block.
Do not remove the ground strap connections.
4. Go to page 8.
Part 3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING
The middle (neutral or ground) wire of the power cord or
3-wire conduit has to be connected to the middle post of
the main terminal block. The remaining two wires of the
power cord or conduit have to be connected to the
outside posts of the main terminal connection block.
WARNING
Only a 4-conductor power-supply cord kit rated
120/240 volts, 50 amperes and marked for use with
ranges with closed-loop connectors, open-end spade
lugs with upturned ends shall be used. The middle
(neutral) wire of the power cord or 4-wire conduit has
to be connected to the middle post of the main terminal
block. Other two wires of the power cord or conduit
have to be connected to the outside posts of the main
terminal connection block. The 4th ground wire must
be connected to the frame of the range with the ground
screw.

follows” on page 5 to correctly install the strain relief.
1. Remove the lower 3 screws from the terminal block
and retain them. (Refer to Figure 7.)
Remove the ground screw and retain it.
2. Remove ground strap and discard as shown
in Figure 7.
Do not discard any screws.
3. Insert the ground screw into the power cord ground
wire terminal ring and secure it to the range frame.
4. Insert the 3 screws through each power cord
terminal ring and into the lower terminals of the
terminal block. Make sure that the center wire
(white/neutral) is connected to the center lower
position of the terminal block.
Tighten 3 screws securely into the terminal block.
5. Go to page 8.
Install the conduit as follows:
Remove the Conduit connection plate from the rear of
drawer body and rotate it as shown in Figure 8. The
conduit hole (11/8”) must be used.
First, prepare conduit wires as shown in Figure 9.
Second, install conduit as shown in Figure 10.
For conduit installations, after purchasing a strain
relief, insert it in the conduit hole (11/8”). Then install
the conduit through the body of strain relief and
fasten the strain relief with its ring. Reinstall the
bracket.
For conduit connections :
If the wire in the conduit is copper it must be 8 or 10
AWG wiring.
If the wire in the conduit is aluminum it must be 6 or 8
AWG wiring.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION
Note
To install Anti-tip bracket, release the leveling leg. A
minimum clearance of 0.65”(16.5mm) is required
between the range bottom and the kitchen floor.
1. Locate the bracket using the template
An Anti-tip bracket is packaged with template. The
instructions include necessary information to
complete the installation.
Read and follow range installation instruction sheet
(template).
2. Level the range
Level the range by adjusting the leveling legs with a
wrench.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of tipping, the appliance must be
secured by properly installed anti-tip devices packed
with the appliance.
• See instructions to install (supplied with bracket).
• Unless properly installed, the range could be tipped
by stepping or sitting on the door. Injury may result
from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
8
Use a spirit level to check your adjustments. Place the
level diagonally on the oven rack, and check each
direction for level.
First check direction 1.
After check direction 2.
If the spirit level doesn’t show
level on the rack, adjust the
leveling legs with a wrench.
FINAL INSTALLATION
• Move range close enough to the opening to plug
into the receptacle.
• Slide range into position insuring that the left back
leg slides under the anti-tip bracket. Range will sit 0”
away from the back wall when properly installed.
• Carefully tip range forward to insure that the anti-tip
bracket engages the range back brace and prevents
tip-over.
• Turn on electrical power. Check range for proper
operation as described in owner’s manual.
