grounded. Do not modify the power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
To properly install your appliance, you must determine the type of electrical
connection you will be using and follow the instructions provided for it here.
• This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency,
and connected to an individual (dedicated to the appliance), properly
grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse.
• A single-phase (split-phase), 3-wire or 4-wire, 120/208 VAC or 120/240
VAC, 60 hertz electrical system must be used. It is the personal
responsibility of the range owner to provide the correct electrical service
for this range.
• 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.
• This range may be connected by means of a conduit or power cord.
15
• A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is
required. If a 50 amp range cord is used, it should be marked for use with
1 3/8" (35 mm) 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.
• 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.
• Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that the range can be
moved if servicing is ever necessary.
• A UL Listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable (at the range and at the junction box).
• 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.
• Using an extension cord to connect the power is prohibited. Connect the
power cord and plug directly.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the range.
• If using a GFI breaker, the ground wire must be installed correctly to
prevent breaker from tripping. Refer to latest edition of the NEC, NFPA
No. 70, available from the National Fire Protection Association.
• The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range.
If Connecting to a 3-Wire System:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL listed, 3-wire, 250-volt, 40- or 50-amp
range power supply cord (pigtail).
This cord contains 3 copper conductors with
ring terminals or open-end spade terminals with
upturned ends, terminating in a NEMA Type 10-
50P plug on the supply end. Connectors on the
appliance end must be provided at the point
the power supply cord enters the appliance.
This uses a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 10-
50R.
16
If Connecting to a 4-Wire System:
This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the neutral by a link.
The ground must be revised so the green ground wire of the 4-wire power
supply cord is connected to the cabinet.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and recreational vehicles, or an area
where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-50R
is used, a matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-volt,
40- or 50-amp, range power supply cord
(pigtail) must be used. This cord contains 4
copper conductors with ring terminals or open-
end spade terminals with upturned ends,
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 UL listed strain relief and be at least 4 ft (1.22 m)
long.

Removing/Assembling Oven Door
For normal range use, it is not suggested to remove the oven door. However, if
removal is necessary, make sure the oven is off and cool.
Removing Door
• The oven door is heavy.
• If door is removed, confirm that door operates correctly and seals
properly when reinstalled. If door gasket does not seal completely, heat
escaping from around doors could ignite cabinetry.
IMPORTANT: Do not lift door by
door handle.
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Unlock the hinge locks on both
sides, rotating them as far toward
the open door frame as they will
go.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the
door.
4. Close the door to the removal
position, which is approximately
five degrees or 2-3 inches from
being fully closed. If the position is
correct, the hinge arms will move
freely.
5. Lift door up and out until the hinge
arms are clear of the slots.
37
Assembling Door
IMPORTANT: Do not lift door by
door handle.
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the
door.
2. With the door at the same angle as
the removal position, which is
approximately five degrees or 2-3
inches from being fully closed,
seat the indentation of the hinge
arms into the bottom edge of the
hinge slots. The notch in the hinge
arms must be fully seated into the
bottom edge of the slots.
3. Open the door fully. If the door will
not open fully, the indentation is
not seated correctly in the bottom
edge of the slots.
4. Lock the hinge locks, rotating
them back toward the slots in the
oven frame until they lock.
5. Close the oven door. Check that
the door is free to open and close
and is level while closed.

IMPORTANT:
• Do not lift by the oven door handle or control knobs. Push, pull, or lift only
on the body or structural areas, such as oven, oven face, or back corners of
range.
• Do not move unit by pushing or pulling on the door or control panel.
Grasp the left/right door area to push the unit.
• Move range by lifting, not sliding, to prevent damage to floors.
• Use a belt when moving the range to prevent damaging the floor, or use
cardboard, plywood, or stiff plastic to protect floors if sliding is necessary.
• Be careful not to pinch or kink the electrical connection. If unit does not
move in smoothly, check for obstructions. Do not attempt to force the unit
into position.
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.
1. Measure the distance from the top of the countertop to the floor at all four
corners of the installation space.
2. While range is still positioned outside the installation space, measure the
distance from the top of the cooktop to the bottom of each leveling leg.
• If this distance does not match the distance measured at the
corresponding corner of the installation space, use a wrench or pliers
to loosen and adjust the leveling legs to the correct height.
Note:
• Height adjustment can be made when range is standing. Tilt the
range back to adjust the front legs, and then tilt forward to adjust
the rear legs.
• The leveling legs can be loosened up to a maximum of 1" (2.6 cm).
3. When the range is at the correct height, check and make sure that there is
minimum clearance of 11/16" (1.8 cm) under the range for the anti-tip
bracket.
41
4. Check that all range controls are in the OFF position. Plug power cord into
a grounded outlet or connect conduit to a grounded junction box.
5. Using 2 or more people, gently move range into its final location and
make sure the rear leveling leg is engaged in the slot of the anti-tip
bracket.
Note:
• Be careful not to damage countertops, floor, or appliance when
moving.
• Check to ensure the electrical cord is not pinched or kinked.
6. Place level diagonally on the oven bottom or oven rack, and check with
the level in each diagonal direction. Adjust the leveling legs as necessary.
• If range is not level, use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or
down until the range is level.
Note:
• The range must be level for optimum cooking and baking
performance.
7. Reassemble oven door and storage drawer and insert oven racks if they
were previously removed. See "Removing/Assembling Oven Door" and
"Removing/Assembling Storage Drawer" sections.
Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Engagement
Do not operate the range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged.
IMPORTANT: If the range is moved from the final location for any reason,
always verify anti-tip bracket engagement again.

1. Place the outside of your foot agains t
the bottom of the front panel to k eep
the range from moving, and then gras p
the back of the range as shown.
2. Carefully and slowly attempt to tilt th e
range forward.
• If you encounter immedia te
resistance, the rear foot is
engaged in the anti-tip bracket .
Verification is completed. Skip th e
steps below.
• If the rear of the range lifts more
than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floo r
without resistance, stop tilting th e
range and lower it gently back t o
the floor. The rear range foot is no t
engaged in the anti-tip bracke t.
Proceed to Steps 3 and 4.
IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when tilting the
range, the range may not be fully engaged in the anti-tip bracket. Check
to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from sliding to the wall
or keeping the rear range foot from sliding into the bracket. Verify that the
bracket is held securely in place by the mounting screws.
3. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is securel y
attached to the floor or wall.
4. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-
tip bracket.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the rear range foot is engaged in th e
anti-tip bracket.
• If the rear of the range lifts more than 1/2" (1.3 cm) off the floo r
without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly .
