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
1/4″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
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code requires that
new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an
electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction follow Steps 3
and 5 for 4-wire connection.
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
3

″diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to
center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from
damaging the cable.
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or
when local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to Step
6 or 7.
