STEP 1

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance may be connected by means of permanent “hard wiring” or power supply cord kit.

It is the personal responsibility of the customer to contact a

qualified technician to assure that the electrical installation is

adequate and is in conformance with the National Electrical Code ANSVNPFA 70- latest edition and local codes and ordinances.

THE RANGE MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY. Aluminum wire must not be used to avoid potentially

unsatisfactory connections.

POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT

This appliance must be connected with a power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes, and marked for use with ranges. Cord must have three (3) conductors.

For mobile home installation or in areas where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a four (4) conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes, and marked for use with ranges shall be used.

Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends. Cord must have strain relief clamp.

MODELS WITH FACTORY-CONNECTED POWER SUPPLY CORD

Some models may be equipped with a factory-connected, three

(3) conductor, power supply cord.

In mobile home installations or in areas where local codes do not permit grounding through neutral, a four (4) conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum, 40 amperes and investigated for use with ranges shall be used. Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends.

STEP 2 GENERAL

The back of a Free Standing Range may be Installed against a vertical wall. The sides may be installed against base cabinets or against vertical walls extending above the upper edge of the cook top.

To	prevent	possible	discoloration		of	the	base	cabinets,
the	front of	the oven	frame	must	extend	at least		l/z” past the
front	surface	or cabinet		doors	of the	base	cabinets.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over heated surface elements, cabinets or storage spaces should not be provided over a range.

If cabinets are provided, the hazard can be reduced by

installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minlmum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

CAUTION: 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet. 24 inches minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than %-inch-thick

flame-retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28

MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stamless steel, 0.024-inch-

thick aluminum, or 0.020-inch-thick copper.

When installing the range between basecabinets, refer to Figure 1 for the size of the opening needed. Do Not seal range to cabinets.

CAUTION: When unpacking the range, do not discard the 4 shipping bolts as these are the leveling legs.

If a service cord is used, the wall receptacle should be

located in accordance with the dimensions given in

Figurel.
