STEP 3 - Range Installation

A. A free-standing range may be installed by one person.

B. Align the range to its designated location and slide it

back into position. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/4"

(6 mm) is required between the range and the leveling

foot that will engage the ANTI-TIP bracket, see figure

5.

CAUTION: Damage to the range may occur if range

is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or

backguard.

C. All freestanding ranges with a glass top have a non

lift-up top. Coil tops are lift-up.

D. For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS as well as optimum

performance adjust the range so that it is level. This

may be checked by placing a spirit level or a large

pan of water on the cooktop or the oven rack. tf an

adjustment is required pull the range forward, tip the

range and rotate the leveling feet as required.

E. To check the range for proper installation of the

anti-tip bracket: Use a flashlight and look underneath

the bottom of the range to see that one of the rear

leveling feet is engaged in the bracket slot.

F. Proceed with the remainder of the installation

instructions provided with the range.

CONNECTING THE RANGE

ELECTRIC SUPPLY

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and

National Electric Code (NEC) ANSt/NFPA No. 70-latest

edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

ELECTRIC SUPPLY (Canada)

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and

Canadian Electric Code CSA STD.C22.1 latest edition.

See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

OUTSIDE WIRING

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 of upper left hand corner of backguard.

HOUSE WIRING

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. In some

communities, a solid or flexible continuous armored

conduit must be used from main entrance panel to the

terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit

the termination of the range circuit at a polarized three or

four wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near

the back of the range. The range is then connected to this

outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail)

fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain

relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the

opposite end.

RANGE CONNECTIONS

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with

service cords (pigtails) attached. There are no range

connections necessary on these models. Just plug into

the range outlet. On models not provided with a service

cord, connection to the power supply is necessary.

REMEMBER - mobile homes and many LOCAL CODES

DO NOT PERMIT GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL.

Hence, 4-wire service MUST be provided for such

installations. 3-wire service may be used when permitted

by local code. Use COPPER WIRE ONLY. tf a flexible

power cord is required, it is recommended a cord no

longer than 4 ft. be used. Make connections as explained

below and with reference to the appropriate illustration

(see figures 7 and 8). After installation, insure tightness of

all electrical connections and replace all covers.

Remove terminal block access cover from range back.

(See figure 6).

RANGE CONNECTIONS (Canada)

This model was shipped direct from the factory with

service cord (pigtail) attached. There are no range

connections necessary. Just plug into the range outlet.

See figure 2 on page 3 for outlet location.

NOTE: Cord replacement - ONLY a power supply cord

rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes or 50 amperes

power supply cord that is marked for use with nominal

1 3/8" (34.93 mm) diameter connection opening, with

closed loop terminals and marked for use with ranges

shall be used.
