PREPARE THE OPENING (continued)

Flooring Under the Range

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:

When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

STEP 2

PREPARE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4 conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4 wire connection.

Use only 3-conductor or 4-conductor U.L. listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 13⁄8″ diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center cable and strain relief within knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to Step 6 or 7.

STEP 3

POWER CORD STRAIN RELIEF INSTALLATION

A.Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to expose the connector block and bracket.

B.Remove the knockout ring (13⁄8″) located on bracket directly below the connector. To remove the knockout, use a pair of pliers to bend the knockout ring away from the bracket and twist until ring is removed.

C.Assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the cord terminals to the connector block. If tabs are present at the end of the winged strain relief, they can be removed for better fit.

NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.
