Installation Instructions
When unpacking and moving the range into position take care not to slide it
across the floor. Improper handling of the range can cause damage to the
floor. Two people are required to move the range. Make sure the power is off
at the main circuit breaker before connecting wiring.
Installation Spacing Permissible
This range may be installed flush against the left and right
base cabinets and rear vertical wall. The range may also
be installed flush against the left and/or right vertical wall
extending above the 36 inch standard countertop height.
A minimum clearance to vertical wall on left or right side
is not needed. See the rating plate for KW rating. Fuse
rating should be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, Canadian Electric Code (where
applicable), local codes and ordinances.
The range should be installed with a minimum of a
30 1/8" inch clearance between the cooking surface
and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet.
Power Connection
The line voltage must not exceed the rated voltage
(102 V - 132 V). Line voltage less than rated voltage will
result in slow heating. The wiring system conforms to the
Underwriters Laboratories Inc., standards and the
National Electrical Code or the Canadian Association
Standard, and Canadian Electric Code (where
applicable). Be sure that the installation conforms to all
local, municipal and state building codes, as well as NEC,
CEC (where applicable), and local utility regulations.
Range must be connected only to a supply circuit as
specified on the rating plate and wiring diagram. The
junction box must be mounted on the floor or wall. See
diagram below for exact spacing allowed.
Making the Electrical Connection
The connection block is located at the bottom rear of the
range and is accessible after removing the rear cover
panel. Directly below the connection block is a hole for
accommodating service cord, not supplied with the
range. Remove the rear cover by removing the fastener,
which holds the cover in place.
Wiring
The electrical supply wiring must be connected to the
range connector block by routing the supply wiring
through the access hole directly below the range
connector block.
The neutral ground wire of the supply circuit must be
connected to the center (nickel plated) terminal on the
block. The power leads must be connected to the outside
brass terminals. The range has been grounded at the
factory to the center (nickel plated) terminal of the
terminal block in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (section 2560) as illustrated in the following figures.
When a separate ground is required by local code,
disconnect the grounding strap from the terminal block.
Then in order to ground the frame, a grounding lead must
be connected to the range frame using only the
grounding screw removed earlier from the ground strap.
