PREPARE THE OPENING (cent’d)

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, use care, and follow these simple and inexpensive instructions.

The range 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

Use only a 3-conductor, or if required a 4- conductor range cord set as noted below. These cord sets are provided with ring type terminals.

The electrical rating of the cord must be 125/250

volts minimum, 40 amperes.

NOTE: Only a 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.

STEP 3

1.Locate connector block at the bottom rear of range and remove rear wiring cover.

2.Directly below the connector block is a hole with a knockout ring for accommodating conduit fittings. Brackets provided are used to support the flexible cord strain relief, which must be securely attached to the cord set.
