Proper installation is your responsibility.
A qualified technician must install this
range. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation. It is the
installer's responsibility to comply with
installation clearances specified on the
model/serial rating plate.The model/serial
rating plate is located on the oven frame
behind the storage drawer panel.
Check location where range will be
installed.The range should be located for
convenient use in kitchen.
When installing a range under existing
cabinets and the installation does not
meet the minimum cabinet clearances,
install a range hood above the cooktop to
avoid burn hazards.
All openings in the wall or floor where
ranges is to be installed must be sealed.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are
shown must be used. Given dimensions
are minimum clearances.
Grounded electrical outlet is required.
See "Electrical requirements[' Page 4.
Mobile home installation
The installation of this range must
conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard,Title
24 CFR,Part 3280 [formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety,Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] or,
when such standard is not applicable, the
Standard for Manufactured Home
Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*,
or with local codes.
When this range is installed in a mobile
home, it must be secured to the floor
during transit. Any method of securing
the range is adequate as long as it
conforms to the standards listed above.
Four-wire power supply cord or cable
must be used in a mobile home
installation.The appliance wiring will
need to be revised. See "Four-wire
electrical connection;' Page 4.
The floor anti-tip
bracket MUST be
installed.To install
the anti-tip bracket
shipped with the
range, see Page 6 and the anti-tip
bracket template.

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.
This range must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring
system.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure range is properly grounded.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
Recommended ground
method
it isthe personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to contact a
qualified electrician to assure that the
electrical installation is adequate and is in
conformance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -- latest edition _
and all local codes and ordinances.
Power supply cord is not supplied, but is
available through your local electrical
supply house.
Range must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as
specified on the model/serial rating plate.
(The model/serial rating plate is located
on the oven frame behind the storage
drawer panel.)
[_ A four-wire or three-wire, single-
phase, 120/240-volt, 60-Hz,AC-only,
electrical supply (or three-wire or four-
wire 120/208-volt if specified on the
model/serial rating plate} is required on a
separate, 40 amp circuit, fused on both
sides of the line.
[_ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
_j The range can be connected directly
to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker
boxt through flexible armored conduit.
See "Direct wire method: Copper wire" or
"Direct wire method: Aluminum wire"
sections.
Allow two to three feet of slack in the line
so that it can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary.
A U.L.qisted conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply
cable (at the range and at the junction
box}.
Wire sizes and connections must conform
with the rating of the range (40 amps).
[_ The wiring diagram is located on the
back of the range or on the inside of the
storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.
If connecting to a four-wire
system:
This range is manufactured with the
ground connected to the cabinet.The
ground must be revised so the green
grounding wire of the four-wire power
supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See "Four-wire electrical connection/'
section, Page 6.
When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA
Type 14-50Ris used (see Figure 1), a
matching U.L-listed, four-wire, 250-volt,
40 amp, range power supply cord
(pigtail) must be used.This cord
contains four copper conductors with
ring terminals at the appliance end,
terminating in a NEMAType 14-50P
plug on the supply end.The fourth
(grounding} conductor must be
identified by a green or green/yellow
cover and the neutral conductor by a
white cover. Cord should beType SRD
or SRDTwith a U.L.-listed strain relief
and be at bast four feet long.
The minimum conductor sizes for the
copper four-wire power cord are:
40 amp circuit
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.q0 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding
mfconnecting to a three-wire
system:
Local codes may permit the use of a
U_L-listed, 250°volt, 40 amp range
power supply cord (pigtail}.This cord
contains three, No.q0 copper wires and
matches a three-wire receptacle of
NEMAType 10-50R,shown in Figure 2.
Connectors on the appliance end must
be provided at the point the power
supply cord enters the appliance.
