STEP 1. MEETING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
CAUTIONForpersona,safety,donotuseanextensioncordwiththisapp,iance.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
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 specified on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located above the drawer on the oven frame. {Fig. 1or Fig. 2}
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range
connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show
you where your main range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area.
Failureto wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a
hazardous condition. Ifthere are no local codes, your range must be wired and
fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-Latest Edition. Youcan get a copy by writing:
National FireProtection Association
Batterymarch Park
(Fig. 1)
Quincy, MA 02269
(Fig. 2}
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, follow Steps 2 and 3 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system.
Ifthe electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician
install an approved outlet.
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, it should be marked for use with nominal lS/8'' 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.
, Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord
must be used.
NOTE Ifconduit is being used, go to Step 4 on page 9.
ALL NEW BRANCH-CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES,
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO
NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A4-CONDUCTOR
UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.

rear of the drawer body. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten the device.
o You must install the power cord with a strain relief.
,Attach the strain reliefto the lS/8'' opening in conduit connection plate.

ground plate and retain them.
2, Cut and discard the ground strap, Do not discard any screws,
3. insert the one ground screw into the power cord ground wire terminal ring,through the ground

Installing a 3-wire conduit
, Aluminum building wire may be used but it must be rated for the correct amperage and voltage to
make the connection. Connect wires according to Step 4 depending on the number of wires.
, Wire used, location and enclosure of splices, etc., must conform to good wiring practices and local
codes.
1. Loosen the 3 lower terminal screws from the terminal
block.
2. Insert the center bare wire (white/neutral) tip through
the bottom center terminal block opening. On certain
models, the wire will need to be inserted through the
ground strap opening and then into the bottom center
block opening.
3. Insert the two side bare wire tips into the lower left
and the lower right terminal block openings.
4. Tighten the screws until the wire isfirmly secured (35
to 50 inch-lbs.). Do not over-tighten the screws since
it could damage the wires.

Ifthe spirit leveldoesn't show levelon the rack, adjust the
leveling legs with a wrench.
FINALIZING THE INSTALLATION
o Move range close enough to the opening to plug into the receptacle.
o Slide range into position insuring that the rear left(or rear right) leg slides under the Anti-Tip bracket.
The range willsit 0" away from the back wall when properly installed.
o Carefully tip the range forward to insure that the Anti-Tip bracket engages the back brace and
prevents tip-over.
o Turn on the electrical power. Check the rangefor proper operation as described in the user manual.
