BEFORE STARTING Tools You Will Need For leveling legs and Anti-Tip Bracket: • Adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers • 5/16" Nutdriver or Flat Head Screwdriver • Electric Drill & 1/8" Diameter Drill Bit (Masonry Drill Bit if installing in concrete) For electrical supply connection: • 1/4" & 3/8" Socket driver or Nutdriver Additional Materials You Will Need: • Power Supply Cord or • Copper Electrical Wiring & Metal Conduit (for hard wiring) NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS 1. ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured to the floor by properly installed Anti-Tip Bracket and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door or ifa child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself. If range is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip Bracket must also be moved and installed with the range. Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed to the wall, make sure that screws completely penetrate dry wall and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. la. Locate the Bracket using the Template - (Bracket may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use the information below to locate the bracket if template is not available). Mark the floor or wall where left or right side of the range will be located. Ifrearofrange is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4" from wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is installed Fig. 4 and does not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove molding or mount bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against the rear wall and the side edge of template on the mark made referencing the side of the range (See Fig. 4). Place bracket on top of template and mark location of the screw holes in wall. If rear of range is further than 1-1/4" from the wall when installed, attach bracket tothe floor. For floor mount, Iocatethe bracket by placing back edge of the template where the rear of the range will be located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in template. lb. Drill Pilot Holes & Fasten Bracket - Drill a 1/8" pilot hole where screws are to be located. If bracket is to be mounted to the wall, drill pilot hole at an approximate 20 ° downward angle (See Fig. 5). If bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a 3/16" pilot hole 1-3/4" deep. The screws provided may be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16" nut-driver or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place (See Fig. 6). lc. Level and Position Range - Level range by adjusting the (4) leveling legs with a wrench. NOTE: A minimum clearance of 1/8" is required between the bottom of the range and the leveling leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit level to check your adjustments. Slide range back into position (See Fig. 7). Visually check that rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing lower panel or storage drawer. For models with a Warmer Drawer or broiler compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS -This 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. This appliance may be connected by means of "Permanent Wiring" or "Power Supply Cord Kit." When installing Permanent Wiring, do not leave excess wire in range compartment. Excess wire in the range compartment may not allow the Rear Access Cover to be replaced properly and could create a potential electrical hazard if wires become pinched. Connect only as instructed under "Permanent Wire Connections" in Step 4c. When using flexible conduit or range cable use flex connector or range cable strain relief (Fig. 11). 2a. Models with Factory Connected Power Supply Cord. NOTE: Some models may have a factory installed three (3) conductor Power Supply Cord. Mobile home installations, new branch circuit installations (1996NEC) or areas where Local Codes do not permit grounding through neutral require a four (4) conductor power supply cord kit rated at 125/250 volts minimum and marked for use with ranges. See Range Connection Opening Size Chart (Figs. 9 & 10) for cord kit ampere rating information. Terminals on end of wires must be either closed loop or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends.
