C. This appliance has been approved for 0" minimum spacing to adjacent surfaces above
the cooktop. However, a 6" minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15" above the cooktop
and adjacent cabinets is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.
To reduce the risk of bums 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 projects at least 5" beyond
the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13".

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A WARNING:
This appliance must be properly grounded.
WARN
I NG:
All new constructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where
local codes do not allow grounding through neutral, require o 4-conductor UL-listed range cord.
A WARN
I NG:
To prevent fire or shock, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
A WARN ING:
To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning
installation.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range.
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be
used.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range
in new construction, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor
branch circuit
connections.
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
oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No.
70 - latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-
delay fuse.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord
is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1%< diameter connection
openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep
the edge from damaging the cable.
. Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord
must be used.
The rating plate is located on the oven frame or on the side of the drawer frame.

range must be secured by o properly installed
anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions
shipped with the bracket for complete details
before attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and
engaged properly, look underneath the range
to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged
in the bracket. On some models, the storage
drawer or kick panel can be removed for
easier inspection. If visual inspection is not
possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and
slide the range back so the leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for
any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip bracket.

OPERATION CHECKLIST
• Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unit
off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring
connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for
proper connections and voltage.
Check that the Clock (on models so equipped) display is energized. If o series of horizontal red lines appear
in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is made to
connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections
and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.
Note: If the clock flashes "bAd" and then "LinE" with o loud tone, the neutral connection to the range is
miswired. Check the terminal block connections and/or house wiring to correct.
Be sure all range controls are in the OFFposition before leaving the range.
