1. Clearances and Dimensions
a. Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
b.Location—Checklocationwheretherangewillbeinstalled.Checkforproperelectricalsupplyandthestabilityofoor.
c. Dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Contact surface
must be solid and level.
* 30" minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface
and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet; or 24
" minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected
bynotlessthan¼"ameretardantmillboardcoveredwithnot
less than no. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" stainless steel, 0.024"
aluminum or 0.020" copper. The minimum clearance is 0" for the
rear of the range. Follow all dimension requirements provided
abovetopreventpropertydamage,potentialrehazard,and
incorrect countertop and cabinet cuts.
Avoid locating cabinet storage space above the surface units to
eliminate the possibility of cabinets catching on re, or personal
burns from reaching for the cabinets over the heated units. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, risk can be reduced by installing
a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.

30" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. Anti-tip Bracket Installation Instructions
Important Safety Warning
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range
must be secured to the oor by the properly installed
anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range.
Failure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the
range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an
open door or if child climbs upon it. Serious injury
might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range
itself.
If range is ever moved to a dierent location, the
anti-tip brackets must also be moved and installed
with the range.
Instructions are provided for installation in wood
or cement oor. When fastening to oor, be sure
that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or
plumbing.
A. Locate the Bracket Using the Template - Locate
the bracket position (right or left side) by placing
the template symmetrically to the center of the nal
range position. Mark the location of the screw holes,
shown on template.
Figure 1
2. Tools You Will Need
For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket:
• Adjustablewrenchorchannellockpliers
• 5/16"NutdriverorFlatHeadScrewdriver
• ElectricDrill&1/8"Diameter
Drill Bit (Masonry Drill Bit if
installing in concrete)
• Level&MeasuringTape
For electrical supply connection:
• 1/4"&3/8"SocketdriverorNutdriver
AdditionalMaterialsYouWillNeed:
• PowerSupplyCordor
• CopperElectricalWiring&MetalCon-
duit (for hard wiring)
B. Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8"
pilot hole where screws are to be located. If bracket
is to be mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an
approximate 20° downward angle. If bracket is to
be mounted to masonry or ceramic oors, drill a
3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided
may be used in wood or concrete material. Use a
5/16" nut-driver or at head screwdriver to secure
the bracket in place.

C. Level and position the range - Slide range to its
nal position. Insert the range leveling leg in the anti-
tip bracket. Visually verify if the anti-tip bracket is
engaged. Lower the range by adjusting the 4 leveling
legs alternatively until the range is level. Check if the
range is level by placing a spirit level on the oven rack.
Take 2 readings with the spirit level placed diagonally;
take a reading in one direction and then in the other
direction. Level the range if necessary by adjusting the
leveling legs.

30" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The user is responsible for connecting the power
supply cord to the connection block located behind
the back panel access cover.
This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent"hardwiring";exiblearmoredor
nonmetallic shielded copper cable (when local code
allow it) or by means of a power supply cord kit.
NOTE: Electricslide-inrangeisshippedfrom
factorywith11/8"(2.9cm)dia.holeasshownon
gure9.Ifalargerholeisrequired,punchoutthe
knockout.
Risk of re or electrical shock exists
if an incorrect size range cord kit is used, the
Installation Instructions are not followed, or the
strain relief bracket is discarded.
For mobile homes, new installation or recreational
vehicles, use only a power cord kit design for a
rangeat125V/250V50Arecommended(minimum
40A). Cord must have either 3 (when local code
permits grounding through neutral) or 4 conductors.
Terminal on end of wires must be either closed loop
or open spade lug with upturned ends. Cord must
havestrain-reliefclamp.Ifa50Acircuitisused,a
50A power cord must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts which secure
the factory-installed range wiring to terminal
block while connecting range. Electrical failure or
loss of electrical connection may occur.
5. Electrical Connection Requirements
This appliance must be properly installed and
groundedbyaqualiedtechnicianinaccordance
withtheNationalElectricalCodeANSI/NFPA
No.70-latestedition-andlocalelectricalcode
requirements.
This appliance may be connected by means of
permanent"HardWiring"or"PowerSupplyCord
Kit."
Whenhardwiring,donotleaveexcesswirein
rangecompartment.Excesswireintherange
compartment may not allow the access cover to
be replaced properly, and could create a potential
electricalhazardifwiresbecomepinched.When
usingexibleconduitorrangecable,useex
connector or range cable strain relief.
NOTE: Only use copper wire in connection to
terminal block.

Electrical Shock Hazard
• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
• Do not connect to the electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
• Disconnect power to the circuit breaker or fuse
box before making the electrical connection.
• This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system,
or a grounding connector should be connected
to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the
appliance.
Failure to do any of the above could result in a
re, personal injury or electrical shock.

Four Conductor Wire Connection to Range
WherelocalcodesdoesNOTpermitconnectionof
the frame grounding conductor to the neutral wire
ofthecopperpowersupplycord(seeFigure9):
1. Remove the screws from the access plate at
thelowerrightendoftherearcovertoexpose
range terminal connection block.
2. Remove the grounding strap from the terminal
block and from the appliance frame.
3. Using the nuts supplied with the literature
package, connect the ground wire (green) of
the copper power supply cord to the frame of
the appliance with the ground screw, using the
hole in the frame where the ground strap was
removed(seeFigure9).
4. Connect the neutral of the copper power supply
cord to the center silver-colored terminal of
the terminal block, and connect the other
wires to the outer terminals. Match wires and
