INSTALLATION DRAWINGS
LOCATING THE RANGE
Place range in a well lit area. Do not set range over holes
in the floor or other locations where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any opening in the wall behind the range
and in the floor under the range should be sealed. Make
sure the flow of combustion or ventilation air is not
obstructed.
FIGURE 1
"A" = 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of
the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet, or "A" = 24 inches minimum when
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4-inch thick flame-retardant millboard covered with
not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch thick
stainless steel, 0.024-inch thick aluminum, or 0.020-inch
thick copper.
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.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: A risk of range tip-over exists if the appliance
is not installed in accordance with the provided installation
instructions. The proper use of this device minimizes the
risk of TIP-OVER. In using this device the consumer must
still observe the safety precautions as stated in the USE
and CARE MANUAL and avoid using the oven door
and/or lower drawer as a step stool.
Installation instructions are provided for wood and cement
in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may
require special installation techniques as deemed
necessary to provide adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP
bracket to the floor or wall. The bracket may be installed
to engage the left or right rear leveling leg.
STEP 1 - Locating The Bracket (See Figure 5)
A. Determine where either the right or left "EDGE" of the
range will be located and mark the floor or wall.
B. Place the BRACKET 15/16" from the marked "EDGE"
toward center of opening and against the back wall,
as shown in figure 5.
C. Use the bracket as a template and mark the required
holes, as shown in figure 5 for the type of construction
you will be using.
D. Free-standing and slide-in ranges may be secured to
either floor or wall. Drop-in range may only be
secured to slat in cabinet.
STEP 2 -Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
A. Wood Construction:
1. Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified
in figure 5 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Drill a 1/8"
pilot hole in the center of each hole (a nail or awl
may be used if a drill is not available). Secure the
ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the two screws
provided. Proceed to Step 3.
2. Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified
in figure 5 as "HOLES FOR WALL". Drill an
angled 1/8" pilot hole in the center of each hole as
shown in figure 6. (A nail or awl may be used if a
drill is not available). Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket
B,
to the wall with the two screws provided as shown
in figure 6. Proceed to STEP 3.
Cement or Concrete Construction:
1. Suitable screws for concrete construction can be
obtained at the hardware store. Drill the required
size hole for the hardware obtained into the
concrete at the center of the holes identified in
figure 5 as "HOLES FOR FLOOR". Secure the
ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor. Proceed to STEP 3.
STEP 3 - Range Installation
A. Free-standing and slide-in ranges may be installed by
one person. The drop-in requires two persons due to
adjusting leveling legs and making electrical
connection while range is suspended in cut-out.
B. Align the range to its designated location and slide it
back into position. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4"
is required between the range and the leveling foot
that will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket, see figure 6.
CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range
is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or
backguard. (If equipped).
C. All slide-in and drop-in ranges are equipped with a
non lift-up top. All free-standing ranges with a glass
top are non lift-up. Coil tops are lift-up except for
some Canadian models that are non lift-up.
D. For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS as well as optimum
performance adjust the range so that it is level. This
may be checked by placing a spirit level or a large
pan of water on the cooktop or the oven rack. If an
adjustment is required on free-standing, pull the range
forward, tip the range and rotate the leveling feet as
required. Slide-in and drop-in ranges require total
removal from cabinet before an adjustment can be
made.
E. To check the range for proper installation of the
anti-tip bracket: Use a flashlight and look underneath
the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear
leveling legs is engaged in the bracket slot.
F. Proceed with the remainder of the installation
instructions provided with the range.

CONNECTING THE RANGE
ELECTRIC SUPPLY
The range must be installed in accordance with Local and
National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest
edition. See rating plate on front of range for total
connected KW rating.
OUTSIDE WIRING
Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be
necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house
and service switch to take care of the electrical load
demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range
is specified on the name plate on the range.
HOUSE WIRING
Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all
electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All
wiring should conform to Local and National Electrical
Codes. This range requires a single phase three wire
120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes
require a separate circuit be run from the main entrance
panel to the range and that it be equipped with separate
disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main entrance
panel or in a separate switch and fuse box. In some
communities, a solid or flexible continuous armored
conduit must be used from main entrance panel to the
terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit
the termination of the range circuit at a polarized three or
four wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near
the back of the range. The range is then connected to this
outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail)
fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain
relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the
opposite end.
RANGE CONNECTIONS
Some models are shipped direct from the factory with
service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range
connections necessary on these models. Just plug into
the range outlet. On models not provided with a service
cord and models having a conduit, connection to the
power supply is necessary. REMEMBER - mobile homes
and some LOCAL CODES DO NOT PERMIT
GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL. Hence, 4-wire
service MUST be provided for such installations. All
others permit 3-wire service. Use COPPER WIRE ONLY.
Make connections as explained below and with reference
to the appropriate illustration (see figures 7 thru 9). After
installation, insure tightness of all electrical connections
and replace all covers.
NOTE: Cord replacement - ONLY a power supply cord
rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes
power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal 1
3/8" (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with closed
loop terminals and marked for use with ranges shall be
used.
Remove terminal block access cover from range back.
(See figure 7). Figure 7 shows the back of a free-standing
range, slide-in and drop-in ranges have a flat access
cover on the left side of the main wire cover.
