Cabinet Dimensions

Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm) 
countertop depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and 
36" (91.4 cm) countertop height.

IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood 
combination above the range, follow the range hood or 
microwave hood combination installation instructions for 
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.

NOTE: 24" (61.0 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal 
cabinet is covered by not less than 

¹⁄₄

" (0.64 cm) flame retardant 

millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 
0.015" (0.4 mm) stainless steel, 0.024" (0.6 mm) aluminum or 
0.020" (0.5 mm) copper.

30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking 
platform and the bottom of an uncovered wood or metal cabinet.

Electrical Requirements

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that 
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local 
codes.

Do not use an extension cord.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate 
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: 
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding 
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a 
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to 
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the 
power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper 
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Connection

To properly install your range, you must determine the type of 
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions 
provided for it here.

Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage 
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating 
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located behind 
the control panel or on the oven frame behind the storage 
drawer or warming drawer panel. Refer to the figures in the 
“Product Dimensions” section of the “Location 
Requirements” section.

This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal 
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 
50-amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see following Range 
Rating chart). If local codes do not permit ground through the 
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 
40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.

*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load 

listed on the model/serial rating plate.

**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with 

kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a 
nominal 1

³⁄₈

" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.

A circuit breaker is recommended.

The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker 
box (or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic 
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable. See “Electrical 
Connection.”

Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that 
the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end 
of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction 
box).

Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of 
the range.

The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range in a 
clear plastic bag.

If connecting to a 4-wire system:

This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the 
neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green 
ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the 
cabinet. See “Electrical Connection.”

Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new 
branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and 
recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit 
grounding through the neutral conductor.

When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R is used, a 
matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp, range power 
supply cord (pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4 copper 
conductors with ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with 
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the 
supply end.
