WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn power supply off before connecting
wires.
Use 8-gauge solid copper wire.
Electrically ground the range.
Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in death, fire, or electrical shock.
INSTALLATION HIGHLIGHTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A four-wire or three-wire, single-phase, 120/
240-volt, 60-Hz; 50-amp, AC-only, electrical
supply (or four-wire or three-wire 120/208-volt
if specified on the model/serial rating plate) is
required on a separate 50-ampere circuit, fused
on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. The model/
serial rating plate is located on the oven frame
behind the storage drawer panel (see page v).
Wire sizes and connections must conform to
the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70—latest edition*, and all
local codes and ordinances for the kilowatt rat-
ing of the range.
This range should be connected directly to the
fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through
flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, cop-
per cable (with ground wire). Locate the junc-
tion box to allow two to three feet of slack in
the line so that the range can be moved if ser-
vicing is ever necessary. Do Not cut the con-
duit. A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable
(at the range and at the junction box).
This range is manufactured with a white (neu-
tral) power wire and a cabinet-connected bare
ground wire twisted together.
Remove the junction box cover.
Connect the range cable to the junction box
through a U.L.-listed conduit connector. Com-
plete the electrical connection according to lo-
cal codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire
is used, it is recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the ground path
and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
not sure whether the range is properly
grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
circuit.
The range must be connected with copper
wire only.
Wiring diagrams are provided in Section 7 of
this Job Aid. * National Fire Protection Association

CONNECTING THE RANGE
TO AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
IMPORTANT: Use a new 40-ampere power
supply cord. Local codes may permit the use
of a U.L.-listed, 250-volt, 40-ampere range
power supply cord (pigtail). The power supply
cord should be Type SRD or SRDT, and be at
least 4-feet long. The wires that connect to the
range must end with ring terminals. A 3/4 " (1.9
cm), U.L.-listed strain relief must be installed
where the power supply cord connects to the
range (see Figure 2-3).
This range is manufactured with ground con-
nected to cabinet for mobile home, or other 4-
wire installations. The ground must be revised
so the green grounding wire of the four-wire
power cord is connected to the cabinet.
For a 4-wire receptacle (NEMA Type 14-50R,
shown in Figure 2-4), a matching U.L.-listed,
4-wire, 250-volt, 40-ampere, range power sup-
ply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord con-
tains four copper conductors with ring termi-
nals on the appliance end, and terminates in a
NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the supply end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be iden-
tified by a green, or green/yellow cover, and
the neutral conductor by a white cover. The cord
should be Type SRD or SRDT with a U.L.-listed
strain relief, and be at least 4-feet long.
The MINIMUM conductor sizes for the copper
4-wire power supply cord are:
• 40-ampere circuit
• 2) #8 conductors
• 1) #10 white neutral
• 1) #8 green grounding
The range can also be connected directly to a
fused disconnect, or to a circuit breaker box,
through flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper cable (with a grounding wire).
Do not use 2-wire cable with a bare grounding
wire. All current-carrying wires must be insu-
lated. A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cord
(at the appliance and at the junction box). USE
ONLY 8-GAUGE SOLID COPPER WIRE. DO
NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. Allow 2- or 3-
feet of slack in the line so the range can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary.
IMPORTANT: The metal chassis of the range
must be earth-grounded so that the control
panel will operate. If the chassis is not earth-
grounded, none of the keypads will operate.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the range is earth-
grounded.

Tip-Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be
killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range
is moved.
Failure to follow these instructions can re-
sult in death or serious burns to children
and adults.
WARNING
Before moving the range, slide it onto a piece
of cardboard, or hardboard, to prevent dam-
aging the floor covering, and perform the fol-
lowing steps:
1. Disconnect the electrical supply.
2. Slide the range forward and disengage
the foot with the anti-tip bracket. IMPOR-
TANT: Make sure the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to floor.
3. Slide range back so the rear foot engages
in the anti-tip bracket.
4. Check to see that the range is level.
5. Reconnect the electrical supply cord.
MOVING THE RANGE

3-1
(see Figure 3-1). When the range is installed,
these spacers should just come in contact with
the surface of the wall. If they are accidentally
bent in, proper spacing will be lost, and the
oven will not heat properly. Also, the front con-
trol panel may become overly warm, and cause
the bimetal switches to trip, shutting down the
operation. If any of these problems occur, it is
most likely because of air flow restrictions.
The electric range needs sufficient air to prop-
erly cool the oven. In addition, proper air flow
through the electric range also keeps the front
control panel from becoming too hot while the
elements are operating, and causing opera-
tional problems.
To help provide the proper air flow along the
back of the range, the rear panel of the range
has a spacer on each side toward the bottom

COOLING FAN AIR FLOW
Refer to Figure 3-2 while you read this descrip-
tion.
The cooling fan is in series with the cooling fan
bimetal switch, which is located under the right
side of the control panel. When the tempera-
ture of the chassis reaches 40˚C (104˚F), the
bimetal switch closes, and turns on the cool-
ing fan.
The cooling fan draws air from inside the base
of the cabinet. It forces the air up the air chan-
nel, which is located under the left side panel,
to the opening at the end of the control panel.
Air then flows across the chassis below the
control panel, and cools it. Air enters through
the series of holes in front of the range top,
flows beneath it, and exits to the outside
through slots in the rear panel. When the con-
trol panel chassis temperature drops below
40˚C (104˚F), the bimetal switch opens, and
turns the cooling fan off.

THE SURFACE ELEMENT LIMITER
The surface element limiter is a safety device
that is mounted in the surface element circuit
(see Figure 3-4).
The limiter monitors the temperature of the
cooktop glass in two ways (see Figure 3-5):
a)Circuit 1A to 2A, which is a normally-
closed (N.C.) switch, opens at 1025˚F
and protects the ceran glass from heat
damage.
b)Circuit 1B to 2B, which is a normally-
open switch (N.O.) switch, closes and
turns on the hot surface indicator lights
if the temperature of the cooktop is
greater than 150˚F. This switch will re-
main closed until the ceran glass is
warm enough to touch.

open) position. During the self-clean cycle, the
control board sends a 120-volt pulse to the so-
lenoid windings, which pulls the plunger in, and
moves the latch actuator rod to lock the oven
door (Figure 3-6B). The movement of the rod
also actuates the door latch switch and closes
it. When the self-clean cycle is over, the con-
trol board sends a 120-volt pulse to the sole-
noid, the plunger is pushed out, the latch ac-
tuator rod releases the door, and the door latch
switch opens.
The door lock solenoid operates on a 120-volt
pulse from the electronic control board. When
the door is in the unlocked position, (Figure
3-6A), the plunger is extended. When the door
latch switch is open, the control senses that
the door is unlocked. When the door latch
switch closes, the control senses that the door
is locked. The door latch switch, mounted on
the solenoid bracket, is in the N.O. (normally-

HOW THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE WORKS
The Self-Clean cycle uses high heat to burn
away soil and grease from inside the oven.
During this cycle, the oven will get much hot-
ter than it does under normal baking and broil-
ing conditions (see the following chart).
The oven is preset for a 3-1/2 hour Self-Clean
cycle. However, you can adjust this cycle time
to between 2-1/2 and 4-1/2 hours. The chart
shows a normal 3-1/2 hour Self-Clean cycle.
Note that although the heating turns off after
3-hours, the door will remain locked for an ad-
ditional 1/2 hour so the oven can cool suffi-
ciently.
During the Self-Clean cycle, the bake element
is on all the time (see Figure 3-7). If the door
latch switch is not activated during the clean
operation, the cycle is terminated and the dis-
play will show “close door.”
