INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
This manual is intended to assist in the initial installation and adjustments of the range.
• Only qualified personnel should install or service this range.
• Read “Safety Instructions” in Use & Care book before using range.
• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance or use of range can result in serious injury or property damage.
CAUTIONS
Damage to the range may occur if range is moved or lifted by grasping the
main top or backguard. All freestanding ranges with a glass-top have a
non lift-top. Coil tops are lift-up.
For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS do not install a range in any combustible
cabinetry which is not in accord with the installation clearances found
under “Important: Keep for Local Electrical Inspector.”
This range has been designed in accordance with the requirements of
various safety agencies and complies with the maximum allowable wood
cabinet temperatures of 194˚F. If this range is installed with cabinets
that have a lower working temperature than 194˚F, discoloration,
delamination or melting may occur.
Place range in a well lit area. Do not set range over holes in the floor or
other locations where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any opening in
the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range should be
sealed. Make sure the flow of cooling/ventilation air is not obstructed
below the range. Note: A range should NOT be installed over kitchen
carpeting.
WARNING
• All RANGES CAN TIP AND CAUSE
INJURIES TO PERSONS.
• INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICES PACKED
WITH RANGE.
• FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS.
A risk of range tip-over exists if the appliance is not installed in accordance
with the provided installation instructions. The proper use of the ANTI-TIP device
minimizes the risk of TIP-OVER. In using this device the consumer must still
observe the safety precautions as stated in the USE and CARE MANUAL and
avoid using the oven doors as a step stool. Installation instructions are provided
for wood and cement in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may
require special installation techniques as deemed necessary to provide
adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor or wall. The bracket may
be installed to engage the LEFT or RIGHT rear leveling foot. NOTE: The bracket
provided is designed for use with flush mount and non-flush mount outlet
receptacles. Install the bracket with the orientation hole in the longer leg
against the wall or floor as shown in steps 9-12.
MOBILE HOMES
The installation of a range designed for mobile home installation must conform
with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and
Safety, Title 24 HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the
Standard for Manufactured Home Installations 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1-latest edition, or with local codes.
CONNECTING THE RANGE
The range must be installed in accordance with Local and National Electric
Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or Canadian Electric Code CSA
STD.C221 latest edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.
Your local utility company will tell you whether the present electric service
to your home is adequate. It may be necessary to increase the size of the
wiring to the house and service switch to take care of the electrical load
demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range is specified on
the rating plate located on flip-up plate at the rear center of backguard.
Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all electrical wiring
be done by licensed electricians. All wiring should conform to Local and
National Electrical Codes. This range requires a single phase three wire
120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes require a
separate circuit be run from the main entrance panel to the range and that
it be equipped with separate disconnect switch and fuses, either in the
main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.
Some models are shipped direct from the factory with service cord
attached. There are no range connections necessary on these models.
Just plug into the wall outlet. On models not provided with a service
cord, connection to the power supply is necessary in accordance with
local codes. Provisions for using either conduit or a flexible power cord
are provided. When using a power supply cord, use only a supply cord
with closed loop terminals rated either 240 volts, 40 amps or 240 volts,
50 amps that is marked for use with nominal 1-3/8” (34.94 mm)
diameter connection opening and marked for ranges. A 4-conductor
cord is to be used on new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC),
mobile homes, recreational vehicles and where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor. A 3-wire service may be used
when permitted by local codes. When a power supply cord is used, a
cord no longer than 4 feet should be used.
Canada
This model is shipped direct from the factory with the service cord
