ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
ELECTICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Installation must be electrically
grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
• Do not use an extension cord
with this product.
• The power supply cord and plug should not be modified. If it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before begin-
ning installation.
• Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires
that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor con-
nection to an electric range.
• The appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a
qualified service provider.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and
frequency and be 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 in the
storage drawer. After installation, instruct the consumer where the
main range electrical disconnect is located and how to operate it.
PLACING UNIT
IMPORTANT All ranges are heavy. Sliding the range can damage
the floor. Use care when moving the range. Use a belt when moving
the range to prevent damaging the floor, or use cardboard, plywood
or stiff plastic to avoid damaging the floor while sliding the range.
Getting the unit properly placed in the installation space and level
may require multiple attempts. It is recommended to measure and
adjust leveling legs carefully before placing into the installation
space, as the leveling legs may be difficult to adjust once the range
is in its final position.
TO PLACE UNIT
1
Use tape measure to measure from the floor to the top of the
counter top at all four corners of the installation space.
2
While range is still positioned outside the installation space,
adjust the leveling leg at each corner so that the distance from
the floor to the underside of the cooktop edge matches the
dimensions measured in the installation space.
3
Using two people, move range into its final installation location,
being careful not to damage countertops, floor or appliance.
NOTES:
• Do not move unit by pushing or pulling on the door or control
panel. Do not lift by the cooktop edges. Push, pull or lift only
on the body or structural areas, such as oven, oven face or
back corners of range.
• Be careful not to pinch or kink the gas or electrical connec-
tions. If unit does not move in smoothly, check for obstruc-
tions. Do not attempt to force the unit into position.
• Dampening the countertop where the cooktop overhangs with
soapy water may allow the range to slide into position more
smoothly.
• The metal flange under each side of the cooktop MUST be
placed over the cabinet countertop for proper unit support.
The cooktop should NOT rest directly on the countertop or
else it could cause damage to the cooktop voiding the war-
ranty. See Figure 7.
4
Ensure the gas supply line is not damaged.
5
Ensure the back leg of the range has engaged properly into the
Anti-Tip Bracket. If visual inspection is not possible:
• Slide range forward.
• Confirm Anti-Tip Bracket is securely attached to floor or wall
in correct position according to installation instructions.
• Fully slide the range back against the wall so that leveling
leg engages with Anti-Tip Bracket.
6
To ensure baked goods, such as breads and cakes, come out
even and level, confirm that the range is level by placing on
the center rack position. Check level both front-to-back and
side-to-side. Use adjustable pliers to adjust leveling legs as
necessary to level the range.
IMPORTANT: The weight of the product is to be supported by
the leveling legs. When adjusting leveling legs, do not adjust so
far that the weight of the product is supported by the cooktop
resting on the countertop. If countertops are not level, leveling
the range may cause one or more corners of the cooktop to not
contact the countertop surface. If this occurs, the range can be
installed unleveled to allow the cooktop to contact the entire
perimeter. Be advised that this may affect performance for
some baked goods. In these cases, foam tape rated for 194 °F
minimum can be placed around countertop edge to fill the gap
caused by leveling. Do not use caulking or other adhesives that
would bind the cooktop to the counter.

Reinstall door, drawer and oven racks.
