RANGE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
instructions.
follow
WARNING
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT:
Save for local electrical inspector's use.

Cabinet Dimensions
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm)
countertop depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and
36" (91.4 cm) countertop height.
■
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located behind
the control panel or on the oven frame behind the storage
drawer or warming drawer panel. Refer to the figures in the
“Product Dimensions” section of the “Location
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the range, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
Requirements” section.
■
This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or
50-amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see following Range
Rating chart). If local codes do not permit ground through the
neutral, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts,
40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.

Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that
the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
L. Cabinet door or hinge should
not extend into the cutout.
A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end
of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction
box).
NOTE: 24" (61.0 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is covered by not less than ¹⁄₄" (0.64 cm) flame retardant
millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015" (0.4 mm) stainless steel, 0.024" (0.6 mm) aluminum or
0.020" (0.5 mm) copper.

Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range.
The wiring diagram is located on the back of the range in a
clear plastic bag.
30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking
platform and the bottom of an uncovered wood or metal cabinet.
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. See “Electrical Connection.”
Electrical Requirements
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
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.
Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances.
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.
A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly 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.

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.
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.
4-wire receptacle (14-50R)
The minimum conductor sized for the copper 4-wire power
cord are:
40-amp circuit
3-wire receptacle (10-50R)
2 No.-8 conductors
1 No.-10 white neutral
1 No.-8 green grounding

Verify Anti-Tip Bracket Location
Complete Installation
1. On models with a storage drawer, pull drawer open to first
stop position. Lift front of drawer to clear white wheels in
drawer guides. Remove drawer and set it aside on a covered
surface.
1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part,
go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.
2. Check that you have all of your tools.
3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
4. Check that the range is level. See “Level Range.”
5. Use a mild solution of liquid household cleaner and warm
water to remove waxy residue caused by shipping material.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For more information, read
the “Range Care” section of the Use and Care Guide.
On models with a warming drawer, the rear leg cannot be
seen by removing the warming drawer. It will be necessary to
view the rear foot from outside the range.
6. Read “Range Use” in the range Use and Care Guide.
7. Plug power cord into appropriate outlet. Slide range into its
final location. Check that the flexible conduit or power supply
cord are not bent.
8. Replace storage drawer (warming drawer on some models).
9. Turn power on. Turn on surface burners and oven. See the
Use and Care Guide for specific instruction on range
operation.
2. To check that the anti-tip bracket is installed, use a flashlight
and look underneath the bottom of the range.
■
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
If range does not operate, check the following:
■
Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip
bracket.
■
Household fuse is intact and tight; or circuit breaker has not
tripped.
■
■
■
Range is plugged into an outlet.
Electrical supply is connected.
See “Troubleshooting” in the Use and Care Guide.
When the range has been on for 5 minutes, check for heat. If
range is cold, turn off the range and contact a qualified
technician.
If you need Assistance or Service:
Please reference the “Assistance or Service” section of the Use
and Care Guide or contact the dealer from whom you purchased
your range.
Level Range
1. Place rack in oven.
2. Place level on rack and check levelness of range, first side to
side; then front to back.
3. If range is not level, pull range forward until rear leveling leg is
removed from the anti-tip bracket.
On Ranges Equipped with Storage Drawers:
Use a ¼" drive ratchet, wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs
up or down until the range is level. Push range back into
position. Check that rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip
bracket.
On Ranges Equipped with Warming Drawers:
Use a wrench or pliers to adjust leveling legs up or down until
the range is level. Push range back into position. Check that
rear leveling leg is engaged in anti-tip bracket.
NOTE: Range must be level for satisfactory baking
performance.
4. Replace the storage drawer (or warming drawer on some
models).
