ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING:

This appliance must be properly grounded.

WARNING:

All new constructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where

local codes do not allow grounding through neutral require a 4-conductor, UL-listed range cord.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

WARNING:

To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning

installation.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified

electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect

to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be

used.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing)

utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new

construction, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit grounding

through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven

according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your

oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 – latest edition,

available from the National Fire Protection Association.
This appliance must be supplied with proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individual,

properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker

or time-delay fuse.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord.

These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and

a 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 1

and voiding the warranty. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range can

ZLWKVWDQGWKHKHDWXSWRÛ)JHQHUDWHGE\WKHUDQJH

A. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet,

or allow a 24” minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less then 1/4” thick flame

retardant millboard covered with no less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal (.015” thick), .015” thick stainless steel,

.025” aluminum or .020” copper.

B. This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a minimum

6” spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent cabinetry is recommended to reduce

exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat. Allow 1/4” minimum clearance at the back wall.

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the

cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can

be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed

above the cooktop must be no deeper than 16”.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

To reduce the risk of tipping

the range, the range must

be secured by a properly

installed anti-tip bracket. See

installation instructions

shipped with the bracket for

complete details before

attempting to install.
To check if the bracket

is installed and engaged

properly, look underneath

the range to see that the rear

leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed

for easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket

is securely attached to the floor or wall and slide the range back so the leveling leg is under the anti-tip

bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range

is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not

be secured to the anti-tip bracket.

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.
