PREPARE THE OPENING
(cent’d)
Flooring Under the Range
Your range,
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, use care, and follow these simple and
inexpensive instructions.
The range should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick
sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
When the
covering ends at the front of the
range,
the area that the range
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.
STEP 2
PREPARE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Use only a 3-conductor, or if required a
conductor range cord set as noted below. These
cord sets are provided with ring
type
terminals.
The electrical rating of the cord must be 125/250
volts minimum, 40 amperes.
NOTE:
Only a 4-conductor cord is to be used
when the appliance is installed in a mobile home
or where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral.
STEP 3
1.
Locate connector block at the bottom rear of
range and remove rear wiring cover.
2.
Directly below the connector block is a hole
with a knockout ring for accommodating conduit
fittings. Brackets provided are used to support
the flexible cord strain relief, which must be
securely attached to the cord set.
