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
condui
fit~ings.
Brackets provided are used to support
the flexible cord strain relief, which must
be
securely attached
to
the cord set.
