Flooring Under the Range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring, it
should be installed on a i/4 thick sheet of plywood
(or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front of the range,
the area that the range will rest on should be built up
with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor
covering° This wilt allow the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing.
2. Prepare for Electrical Connection,,
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code
requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a
4-conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction
follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.
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 cabte_
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the
appliance is installed in a mobile home or when local
codes do not permit grounding through the neutral, If
conduit is being used, go to Step 6 or 7.

Power Cord Strain Relief Installation
Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to expose
the connector block and bracket°
Remove the knockout ring (1%) located on bracket
directly below the connector. To remove the knockout,
use a pair of pliers to bend the knockout ring away
from the bracket and twist until ring is removed.
Knockout ring In bracket_
Knockout ring removed.
Assemble the strain relief in the hole_ Insert the power
cord through the strain relief and tighten_ Allow
enough slack to easily attach the cord terminals to the
connector block° If tabs are present at the end of the
winged strain relief, they can be removed for better fit_
NOTE: Do not install the power cord without
a strain relief. The strain relief bracket should
be installed before reinstalling the rear range
wiring cover.
