IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

WARNING:
safety, remove house fuse or open
circuit breaker before beginning
installation. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or even death.
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.
WARNING:
risk of tipping, the appliance must
be secured by properly installing
the Anti-Tip bracket packed with the
appliance.
• All ranges can tip
• Injury to persons could result
• Install anti-tip bracket
packed with range
• See Installation Instructions
If you pull the range out and away from the wall
for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket is
engaged when the range is pushed back against
the wall.

Requirements
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 noted on rating plate.

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 range 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

Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor
connection to an electric range. When installing
an electric range in new construction, a mobile
home, recreational vehicle or an area where
local codes prohibit grounding through the
neutral conductor, follow the instructions in
the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
