Power supply cord is not supplied, but is available
through your local electrical supply house.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Do Not change the power supply cord plug. If it
does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding
circuit, A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit
could result in electrical shock.
Do Not use an extensioncord with this appliance.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician
determine that the grounding path is adequate.
Range must be connected to the proper electrical
voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial
rating plate. (The model/serial rating plate is found on
the oven frame behind the oven door.)
[]
CONNECT WITH COPPERWIRE ONLY.
[]
A three-wire or four-wire, single-phase, 120/240-
volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical supply (or three-wire or
four-wire 120/208-volt if specified on the model/serial
rating plate) is required on a separate, 40-ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
[]
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
[]
Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.-listed,
250-volt, 40-ampere range power supply cord (pigtail).
This cord contains three, No.-10 copper wires and
matches a three-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-50R,
shown in Figure 1. Connectors on the appliance end
must be provided at the point the power supply cord
enters the appliance.
[]
The range can be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker box) through flexible,
armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper cable (with
grounding wire). Allow two to three feet of slack in the
line so that it can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.
A U.L.-listed conduit connector must be provided at
each end of the power supply cable
(at the appliance and at the junction box).
Wire sizes (COPPERWIRE ONLY) and connections must
conform with the rating of the appliance (40-amperes).
[]
The wiring diagram is located on the back of the
range or on the inside of the storage drawer in a clear
plastic bag.
If connecting to a four-wire system:
This appliance is manufactured with the ground
connected to the cabinet. The ground must be
revised so the green grounding wire of the four-
wire power cord is connected to the cabinet. See
"Four-wire electrical connection," section, Page 3.
When a four-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R
is used (see Figure 2), a matching U.L.-listed, four-
wire, 250-volt, 40-ampere, range power supply cord
(pigtail) must be used. This cord contains four
copper conductors with ring terminals at the
appliance end, terminating in a NEMA Type 14-50P
plug on the supply end. The fourth (grounding)
conductor must be identified by a green or
green/yellow cover and the neutral conductor by a
white cover. Cord should be Type SRD or SRDT
with a U.L.-listed strain relief and be at least four
feet long.
The MINIMUM conductor sizes for the copper
four-wire power cord are:
40-ampere circuit
2, No.-8 conductors
1, No.-10 white neutral
1, No.-8 green grounding

Preparation
Injury Hazard
Because of the weight and size of this range,
two or more people are required to move it.
Do Not use handle for lifting.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in injury and/or product damage.
When moving range, slide range onto cardboard
or hardboard to prevent damaging the floor
covering.
Put on safety glasses and gloves.
Remove shipping materials, tape and
protective film from range. Keep cardboard
bottom and shipping base under range. Remove
oven racks and parts package from inside oven.
• Take
three cardboard
corners from the carton and place
them widthwise on the floor behind the range --to
support the range when it is laid on its back. Do Not
place a cardboard corner under the area where the
control panel will lie. Firmly grasp the range and
gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.
1 Use _f"
7/16" socket wrench
to remove two shipping
bolts from the skid. Discard skid and bolts.
i
Use a 10" adjustable wrench to loosen the
leveling legs four complete turns.
• Place cardboard or hardboard in front of
range. Stand range back up.
D
Anti-tip bracket installation
Electrical Shock
Take special care when drilling holes in
the floor or wall. Electrical wires may be
located beneath the floor or behind the
wall.
Locate the electrical circuits that could
be affected by the installation of the
anti-tip bracket and turn off power to
these circuits.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
Injury Hazard
To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed floor-
mounted anti-tip bracket, supplied with
the range, or optional wall-mounted anti-
tip tether kit.
Save these Installation Instructions. If
the range is moved to a new location,
the anti-tip bracket must be removed
and reinstalled in the new location.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in injury.
Contact a qualified floor covering installer for the best
procedure of drilling mounting holes through your type
floor covering.
Use the anti-tip bracket
template/instruction
sheet to install the
anti-tip bracket.
Anti-tip bracket must be anchored
securelyto the sub floor.
Depending on the thickness
of your flooring, longer screws
may be necessaryto anchor the
bracket to the sub floor. Longer
screws are available
your local hardware store.
If the anti tip
bracket cannot be
used, a
anti-tip tether kit, part
No. 814234, is available from
your dealer.
Before moving range across floor, slide range
onto cardboard or hardboard to protect floor
covering.
-
Move range close to final operating
position.
