International Installation Instructions.
(220–240, 50/60Hz, 2-wire)
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
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, it
should be installed on a 6 mm (1/4²) 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.
Prepare for Electrical Connection
Use a certified range power cord. Such a cord will be
marked with a symbol of certification. If you are
unsure about the certification of your range power
cord, please consult with your local electrical parts
distributor and obtain one or have a licensed
electrician install your range. Finally, you may have
to purchase a separate strain relief if your cord is not
accompanied by one.
A range cord rated for 40A usage is recommended.
The cord must also have a minimum 250V rating. A
50A cord is not recommended but, if used, it should
be marked for use with nominal 3.49 cm (1
3
⁄
8
²)
diameter connection openings. Care should be
taken to center cable and strain relief (discussed in
Step 3) within knockout hole to keep cable from
rubbing the edge.
Power Cord Strain Relief Installation
Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to
expose the connector block and bracket.
Remove the knockout ring 3.49 cm (1
3
⁄
8
²)
located on bracket directly below the
connector. To remove the knockout, use a pair
of pliers to bend the knockout ring away from
the bracket and twist until ring is removed.
Assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the
power cord through the strain relief and
tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the
cord terminals to the connector block. If tabs
are present at the end of the winged strain
relief, they can be removed for better fit.
NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain
relief. The strain relief bracket should be installed before
reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.
Use ring terminals which have screw hole openings
of sufficient size for the terminal screws and ground
screw to be used in Step 4. The above illustration
depicts a power cord with “ring” terminals on the
ends of the power cord leads.
This is a close-up view of a “ring”
terminal. The ring terminal
shown in this close-up illustration
is the “closed barrel” type. We
recommend use of the “closed
barrel” type with a large enough
“barrel” to accommodate the
cord leads. Proper crimping force
should be applied to connect
stranded wires to the ring
terminals.
NOTE: If your range power cord
is “stranded” and is not
terminated with ring terminals,
you MUST attach the above
terminals to the cord leads. A
“stranded” power cable is one
with many thin wires twisted
together as shown in this
illustration.
