INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FREESTANDING ELECTRIC RANGE
BEFORE STARTING
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)
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 Conduit (for hard wiring)
NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS
1.
To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by properly installed
If range is ever moved to a different location, the
Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.
1a. Locate the Bracket using the Template - (Bracket may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use the information below to locate the bracket if template is not available).
Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the range will be located. If rear of range
is against the wall or no further than
the wall or floor mount method. If molding is installed
and does not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against the rear wall and the side edge of template on the mark made referencing the side of the range (See Fig. 4). Place bracket on top of template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than
If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a
3/16" pilot hole
Visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured by the

2.ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS - This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70
This appliance may be connected by means of "Permanent Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit."
When installing Permanent Wiring, do not leave excess wire in range compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment may not allow the Rear Access Cover to be replaced properly and could create a potential electrical hazard if wires become pinched. Connect only as instructed under "Permanent Wire Connections" in Step 4c. When using flexible conduit or range cable use flex connector or range cable strain relief (Fig. 11).
2a. Models with Factory Connected Power Supply Cord. NOTE: Some models may have a factory
installed three (3) conductor Power Supply Cord.
Mobile home installations, new branch circuit installations (1996NEC) or areas where Local Codes do not permit grounding through neutral require a four (4) conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum and marked for use with ranges.
See Range Connection Opening Size Chart (Figs. 9 & 10) for cord kit ampere rating information. Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or
