Installation Clearances

Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64 cm) 
countertop depth, 24" (61 cm) base cabinet depth and
36" (91.4 cm) countertop height.

*NOTE: 24" (61 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal 

cabinet is protected 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 unprotected wood or 
metal cabinet.

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.

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.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is 
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the 
ground path is adequate.

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.

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); or 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.

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 on the 
oven frame behind the storage drawer panel. Refer to the 
figures in the “Product Dimensions” section of the “Location 
Requirements” section.

When a 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase 120/240 volt, 60 Hz, 
AC only electrical supply is available, a 50-amp maximum 
circuit protection is required (or, if specified on the model/
serial rating plate, when a 4-wire or 3-wire single phase 
120/208 volt 60 Hz, AC only electrical supply is available, a 
40- or 50-amp maximum circuit protection is required), fused 
on both sides of the line.

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

The range can be connected directly to the fused disconnect 
(or circuit breaker box) 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 or 
inside the storage drawer in a clear plastic bag.
