Ø INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC RANGE
•
The electric range must be installed by a qualified technician. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified in the manual.
•
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown above must be used. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances. The minimum spacings must be maintained between the appliance
cooking surface and the horizontal surface above the cooking top.
•
30 inches is the minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of
an unprotected wood or metal cabinet
•
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5
inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
•
Place your electric range on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
assembled as above picture. To level your electric range, adjust the leveling legs at the
bottom of the unit.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. As this may result in the risk of electrical shock.
Ø ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•
The appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (Latest Edition) and local electrical code
requirements. Installation should be made by a licensed electrician.
•
The range may be connected by means of permanent “Hard Wiring” or “Power Supply Cord Kit”.
Power supply cord is not supplied, but is available through your local electric supplyhouse.
•
Use only 3-conductor or 4-conductor UL listed range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250V
minimum voltage range. These cords may be provided with strain relief or conduit connector.
•
The range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the
rating label.
•
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.
• For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded.
•
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless it is specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the A/C power supply
before attempting any maintenance.
NOTE:
Turning the appliance off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We
recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.
