Flooring Under the Range
Your range, like many other household
items, is heavy and can settle into sod
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. When moving the range on this
type of flooring, it should
be
installed on a 1/4
inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front of the
range, the area that the range will rest on should
be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering. This will allow
the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
STEP2
PREPAREFORELECTRICALCONNECTION
Use only a 3-conductor, or if required a 4-
conductor range cord set as noted below. These
cord sets are provided with ring type terminals.
The electrical rating of the cord must be 125/250
volts minimum, 40 amperes.
NOTE: Only a 4-conductor cord is to be used
when the appliance is installed in a mobile home
or where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral.
STEP 3
1. Locate connector block at the bottom rear of
range and remove rear wiring cover.
2. Directly below the connector block is a hole
with a knockout ring for accommodating conduit
fittings. Brackets provided are used to support
the flexible cord strain relief, which must be
securely attached to the cord set.
