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.
• Installer, take care not to damage flooring.
Do not lift or move range by grasping door handles or main top.
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.
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 must be installed to engage the RIGHT or LEFT rear
leveling foot. Install the bracket as shown in step 9.
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. See step 8 for location of rating
plate.
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.
