IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

WARNING: For personal 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: To reduce the 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.
WARNING

Electrical 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 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

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to
an electric range. When installing an electric
range in new construction, 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 electrical
