FOR YOUR SAFETY: All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower drawer). To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13”. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F.) generated by the range. 2 Installation Instructions PREPARE TO INSTALL THE RANGE MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED Anchor Sleeves Lag Bolts (For Anti-Tip Bracket Mounted on Concrete Floors Only) 3-Wire Cord 4‘ Long 4-Wire Cord OR 4‘ Long (UL Approved 40 AMP) Adjustable Wrench Level 1/4” Nut Driver Phillips Screwdriver Drill with 1/8” Bit Pencil Safety Glasses Tape Measure Pliers Flat-blade Screwdriver PARTS INCLUDED Anti-Tip Bracket Kit REMOVE SHIPPING MATERIALS Remove packaging materials.

UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device. A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 13⁄8″ diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable. • Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used. NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D and then to Step 6 or 7. • On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block. ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS CAUTION: For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation. This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located above the storage drawer on the oven frame. We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located. Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70– Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing: National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269 Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection. You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
