Installation Requirements
Consider
Description
Location
Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. specifies range can be installed flush against
right and left base cabinets, and rear vertical wall. Range can also be installed
flush against left or right vertical wall extending above 36 inch standard
countertop height.
Use dim ensions shown in this m anual to determ ine space needed for
installation.
Range m ust not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to
water and/or weather. Range is heavy and can settle into soft flooring such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. A ¼” thick sheet of plywood should be used in the
area range will be installed if soft flooring is present.
Irregular Cabinet and Countertop Heights
Countertops such as ceram ic tile tops cause cabinet and countertop to be higher
than 36”. Follow instructions below when countertop is higher than 36”.
1.
Raise leveling legs to m axim um height.
2.
Measure from floor to rangetop. If the height of the range is less than height
of countertop, floor m ust be shim m ed.
3.
Shim floor using a piece of plywood sam e size as range opening. Secure
plywood to floor. Plywood m ust be as secure as original flooring.
4.
Install anti-tip bracket and slide range into place.
Electrical Requirem ents
Electrical Supply
Range needs a 3 or 4 wire 240 Volt AC , 40 am p, 60 Hertz, 1 Phase electrical
supply. W iring system and grounding m ust conform with the latest edition of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1. Installation m ust conform to all local, m unicipal and state building codes,
and local utility regulations. Connect range to power supply with MAXIMUM
RATED VOLTAGE listed on the rating plate. Line voltage m ust not exceed rated
voltage.
Copper W ire
Term inal block is approved for copper wire connection only. If alum inum house
wiring is to be connected to the cooktop, use only connectors designed for
joining copper to alum inum and follow the m anufacturer’s recomm ended
procedure closely. The following procedure is suggested:
1. Connect length of copper building wire to range term inal block with ring
term inals.
2. Splice copper wires to alum inum wiring using connectors that are design
certified by Underwriter’s Laboratories and recognized for joining copper to
alum inum . Follow the connector m anufacturer’s recom m ended procedure.
W ire used, location and enclosure of splices m ust conform to local codes.
Pow er Cord
Power cord is not supplied with range. Power cord m ust be U.L. or C.S.A. listed
and m eet NEC and Mobile Hom e Manufacturers Association Standards. Cord
m ust be rated at a m inim um 250V— 40 AMP, equipped with a plug configuration
in accordance with NEMA. Conductors m ust end with closed loop (ring)
term inals at the range.
• Three-conductor cord plug NEMA 10-50P allowed for residential in U.S.
• Four-conductor cord plug NEM A 14-50P required in Canada and for m ost
m obile hom e installations, but can be used for residential.
NOTE: Only a power cord suitable for use with ranges m ay be used.
For installation in a m obile hom e, or area where local codes
(Canada) do not perm it grounding through the neutral term inal,
a 4-wire cord m ust be used.
