Electrical Requirements; Installation - KitchenAid KDRP407HSS0 Installation Instructions Manual

Electrical
requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground
wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the
ground path and wire gauge are in
accordance with local codes.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you
are not sure the range is properly
grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
ground circuit.
This range must be connected to a
grounded metal, 3ermanent wiring
system.
Am A four-wire or three-wire, single
phase, 240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical
supply is required on a separate, 30-
ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the
line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. The fuse size must not
exceed the circuit rating of the range
specified on the model/serial rating plate
located on the horizontal surface below
the control panel.
[] Wire sizes and connections must
conform to the requirements of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-
94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all
local codes and ordinances.
C[] The range should be connected
directly to the fused disconnect or circuit
breaker box through flexible, armored or
non-metallic sheathed, copper cable. The
flexible, armored cable extending from the
fuse box or circuit breaker box should be
connected directly to the junction box.
D• Locate the junction box to allow
as much slack as possible between the
junction box and the range so that the
range can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary. Do not cut the conduit.
E[] A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit
connector must be provided at each end
of the power supply cable (at the cooktop
and at the junction box).
F• Connection at connection block must
be copper wire only.
If the house has aluminum wiring, follow
the procedure below:
a) Connect the aluminum wiring to the
copper wiring using special connectors
designed and Underwriters
Laboratories-listed for joining copper to
aluminum. Follow the electrical
connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure.
b) Aluminum/copper connection must
conform with local codes and industry-
accepted wiring practices.

bottom
vent
[] Remove the bottom vent by
removing the 2 screws on each side of
the top of the bottom vent, Slide the vent
down and pull toward you. Carefully lay
this part to the side to avoid scratching
the stainless steel.
_ Lay a piece of cardboard from side
packing on the floor behind range. Using
2 people, firmly grasp each side of range.
Lift range up about 3 inches (8 cm) and
move it back until the range is off
shipping pallet. Set range on cardboard to
avoid damaging floor.
_ Carefully move range close to the
cabinet opening. Place the rack in oven.
Place level on rack, first side to side; then
front to back.
levelingleg J
sleeves
If the range is not level, adjust the feet up
or down. Turn leveling leg sleeves to level
range and to raise or lower range to the
desired countertop height.
_ Choose the correct bracket for your
installation.
• If the wall behind the range has no
baseboard or a baseboard up to 3/8"
(9.5 mm) thick, use the shorter 1"
(2.5 cm) anti-tip bracket.
• If the wall behind the range has a
baseboard thicker than 3/8" (9.5 mm),
use the longer 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) anti-tip
bracket.

Locate a stud in wall behind range.
Measure distance from top of rear brace
to floor. Add 5/16" (7.9 mm) to
measurement to allow anti-tip bracket to
slide over rear brace. Use this final
measurement and mark a horizontal line
on wall where stud is located.
