Electrical requirements

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 the range is properly grounded.

Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system.

A. A four-wire or three-wire, single phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate,

50 amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the range specified on the model/serial rating plate located on the horizontal surface below the control panel.

B.Wire sizes and connections must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1- 94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

C.The range should be connected directly to the fused disconnect or circuit breaker box through flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable extending from the fuse box or circuit breaker box should be connected directly to the junction box.

D. Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the range so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the conduit.

E. A U.L.- or CSA-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box).

F. Connection at connection block must be copper wire only.

If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:

a)Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wiring using special connectors designed and Underwriters Laboratories-listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure.

b)Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry- accepted wiring practices.

Installation

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

1. Remove shipping materials, tape and protective film from range. Keep shipping pallet under range. Unpack the burner grates, burner caps, simmer plate, grille grate, drip tray, spill guard, wave tray, wave plate, tile bezels, regulator, backguard and island trim. Items are either packaged in the range or on the range. Parts shipped with range depend on model ordered.

2. Remove the two side trim pieces by removing the 4 screws (2 per side). Remove the bottom vent by removing the 4 screws (2 on the top and 2 on the side of the bottom vent). Slide the vent down and pull toward you. Carefully lay the parts to the side to avoid scratching the stainless steel.

3. Lay a piece of cardboard from side packing on the floor behind range. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp each side of range. Lift range up about 3 inches (8 cm) and move it back until the range is off shipping pallet. Set range on cardboard to avoid damaging floor.

4. Carefully move range close to the cabinet opening. Place the rack in oven. Place level on rack, first side to side; then front to back.

If the range is not level, adjust the feet up or down. Turn leveling leg sleeves to level range and to raise or lower range to the desired countertop height.

5. Choose the correct bracket for your installation.

If the wall behind the range has no baseboard or a baseboard up to 3/8" (9.5 mm) thick, use the shorter 1"

(2.5 cm) anti-tip bracket.

If the wall behind the range has a baseboard thicker than 3/8" (9.5 mm), use the longer 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) anti-tip bracket.

Locate a stud in wall behind range. Measure distance from top of rear brace to floor. Add 5/16" (7.9 mm) to measurement to allow anti-tip bracket to slide over rear brace. Use this final measurement and mark a horizontal line on wall where stud is located.
