Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground range.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in
death, fire or electrical shock.
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 accordancewith local codes.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure range is properly grounded.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Recommended
ground method
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to contact a qualified electrician to assure
that the electrical installation is adequate and is in
conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 -- latest edition* and all local codes
and ordinances.
Copies of the standards listed above may be
obtained from:
* National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
Power supply cord is not supplied, but is available
through your local electrical supply house.
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 located on the oven frame behind the
storage drawer panel.)
[]
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 range
and at the junction box).
Wire sizes (COPPERWIRE ONLY) and connections
must conform with the rating of the range
(40-am peres).
[]
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 range is manufactured with the ground
connected to the cabinet. The ground must be
revised so the green grounding wire of the four-
wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
See "Four-wire electrical connection," section,
Page 4.
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

Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be
killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is
moved.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death or serious burns to children and
adults.
Contact a qualified floor covering installer for the
best procedure for 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 necessary to anchor the
bracket to the sub-floor. Longer screws are
available from your local hardware store.
Check that range is on cardboard shipping base
to protect floor covering.
