ing surface measure 13 inches (33 cm) deep from backwall. If nonstandard cabi-
nets are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.
Note:
Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the temperatures allowed by
U.L.for appliances, particularly self-cleaning ovens; the cabinets may
discolor or stain. This is most noticeable with laminated cabinets.
From cooktop to materials above:
There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches (76.2 cm) between the top of
the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
24 inches (61 cm) is acceptable when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is
protected by:
(a) not less than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) of flame retardant material which must
be covered with
(b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015 inch (.381 mm) stainless
steel’ or 0.024 inch (.601 mm) aluminum or copper.
From range walls to adjacent materials, see Figure 2: Cooktop Clearances:
No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical combustible walls on
rear, right or left. Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls must be at

Electrical Requirements The electrical outlet must be located in the shaded space in Figure 3: Electrical
Outlet Placement.
Verify that wiring to house is adequate.
Contact your local utility company to verify that the present electric service to your
home is adequate. In some instances, the size of the wiring to the house and ser-
vice switch must be increased to handle the electrical load demanded by the
range.
Verify that wiring inside house is adequate.
Most wiring codes require a separate circuit with separate disconnect switch and
fuses either in the main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box. Most
local building regulations and codes require that electrical wiring be done by
licensed electricians. Be sure to install your range according to the electric codes
in place in your region.
General Information Ranges are dual rated for use on either 120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC. See
Table 1, “Electrical Specifications,” on page 6 for power ratings and circuit breaker
sizes based upon the supply voltage for each model.
We recommend that the range be installed with a UL approved power cord set
(not supplied). The electrical rating of the power cord set must be 120/240 volt, 50
amperes minimum. The power cord set shall be marked “For Use with Ranges.”
Always use a new power cord. Alternatively, the range can also be hard wired
using the terminal lugs included in the literature pack. If using this connection,
flexible conduit must also be used (not supplied).
We recommend a 50 AMP, 60 Hz, 4 wire circuit; However, the NEC (National
Electric Code) allows for some ranges to be installed on a 40 AMP circuit. Refer to
your local electric code requirements in order to determine the required amper-
age. Always choose a range power cord set that is rated for the circuit. In compli-
ance with the NEC, a separate circuit is also recommended.
Note:
In Canada, the range is shipped from the factory with the range cord
already installed.

For installations other than those in Canada, install the strain relief and connect
the range cord (or wire conductors) as described in the following steps.
* Varies by location. Refer to local electric code.
Installation Procedure
Installation Tips • Tape warming drawer or storage drawer shut to keep it from opening while
installing the range.
• During installation, place a portion of the box or a piece of cloth under the
range to protect floors.
• To make range lighter and easier to handle, remove door (see instructions in
Use and Care manual).
Install Ventilation We strongly recommend the installation of a ventilation hood above this range.
For most kitchens a certified hood rating of not less than 300 CFM is recom-
mended. The range hood must be installed according to instructions furnished
with the hood.
Prepare Walls and Floor Seal any holes in the walls or floor. Remove any obstructions (extra electrical or
gas connections, etc.) so that range will rest against wall properly.
Prepare Range Place range in front of cabinets where it is to be installed. Remove any packaging.
Install Strain Relief WARNING:
The strain relief provided with your range cord must be properly
installed.
Place strain relief in knockout below terminal block. See Figure 4: Electrical Con-
nection and Strain Relief Knockout Panel Locations. Feed range cord through
hole and strain relief up to terminal block. Allow for slack in the cord between the
strain relief and terminal block. Once cord length/ slack has been adjusted, attach
strain relief per instructions included with strain relief.
Tip:
The knockout panel (below the terminal block) can be removed from
the range to install the strain relief: Remove panel from range, install
strain relief in panel and reattach. DO NOT remove entire range back
panel.

1. Four (4) wire range cord
2. Three (3) wire range cord
3. Four (4) wire flexible conduit connection (hard wire)
4. Three (3) wire flexible conduit connection (hard wire)
The four wire range cord connection is the recommended method, but where local
codes permit, three wire connections are also acceptable.
As an alternative to the range cord, the appliance can also be hard wired with
either a three or four wire connection. In this case, the terminal lugs supplied must
be used.
Always verify that your chosen connection complies with all applicable codes.
Table 1, “Electrical Specifications,” on page 6.
WARNING:
To prevent electrical shock, the grounding prong on the range cord
should not be cut or removed under any circumstances. It must be
plugged into a matching grounding type receptacle and connected to a
correctly polarized 240- Volt circuit. If there is any doubt as to whether
the wall receptacle is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING:
Risk of Electric Shock or Fire. Frame grounded to neutral through a
ground strap. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for
new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recre-
ational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor.
For installations where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited, (a)
disconnect the link from the neutral, (b) use grounding terminal or lead to ground
unit, (c) connect neutral terminal to lead branch circuit neutral in usual manner

• A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not installed in accordance with
these instructions.
• If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service, or any other rea-
son, insure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly reengaged when the range is
pushed back against the wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person
standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot liquids or
from the range itself.
1. Adjust height of range and level by rotating the adjustable leg supports on the
bottom of the range, using 1-1/4 inch (31.75 mm) wrench. See Figure 2:
Adjusting the Leg Support.
3. Measure to locate bracket position as shown in Figure 4: Anti-tip Bracket
Location.
5. Secure bracket with 2 screws (not included) that are adequate for mounting
surface. (i.e.; for wood floor use wood screws for concrete floor use concrete
anchors and screws).
Complete the Installation 1. Move range close enough to the opening to plug into the receptacle.
2. Slide range into position insuring that the left back leg slides under the anti-tip
bracket. Range will sit 3/4” (19.05 mm) away from back wall when properly
installed.
3. Carefully tip range forward to insure that the anti-tip bracket engages the
range back brace and prevents tip-over.
4. Turn on electrical power. Check range for proper operation as described in
Use and Care Manual.
