Water Filtration System Location Requirements (on some models) For best results, do not install the water filtration system outside, or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of water supply to the water filtration system must be between 40°F/4°C and 100°F/38°C. Do not install on hot water supply line. Locate the water filtration system near the cold water supply pipe under the kitchen sink to filter cold water. Make sure that the water filter assembly is installed in the upright position. It will be necessary to drill a ½" (1.3 cm) minimum diameter hole in the upper right or left rear corner of the side wall of the cabinet under the sink to route the water supply tubing through to the range. Depending on your installation configuration, more routing holes may be required. Coil enough flexible codes approved water supply tubing behind the range to allow for the connection to the range to be made behind the range prior to setting the range in place. Typical Installation Configuration NOTE: For unique installations, contact a licensed plumber. In Massachusetts, a licensed plumber is required and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248-CMR shall be adhered to. Cold water supply Hot Cold Filter assembly location Water Supply Requirements A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the steam feature. In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 must be followed and a licensed plumber shall be used. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the range needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 psi (276 kPa): ■ Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary. ■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only 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. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. 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. 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. Electrical Connection 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. ■ 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 on the right vertical surface of the oven door frame. Refer to the installations in the "Product Dimensions" section of the "Location Requirements" section. ■ This range may be manufactured with a 4-wire power supply cord, or it may not include a power supply cord. If your range does not include a power supply cord, use a 4-wire power supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40 or 50 amps and investigated for use with ranges.

Water Filtration System Location
Requirements
(on some models)
For best results, do not install the water filtration system outside,
or in extreme hot or cold temperatures. Temperature of water
supply to the water filtration system must be between 40°F/4°C
and 100°F/38°C. Do not install on hot water supply line.
Locate the water filtration system near the cold water supply pipe
under the kitchen sink to filter cold water.
Make sure that the water filter assembly is installed in the upright
position.
It will be necessary to drill a ½" (1.3 cm) minimum diameter hole
in the upper right or left rear corner of the side wall of the cabinet
under the sink to route the water supply tubing through to the
range.
Depending on your installation configuration, more routing holes
may be required.
Coil enough flexible codes approved water supply tubing behind
the range to allow for the connection to the range to be made
behind the range prior to setting the range in place.
Typical Installation Configuration
NOTE:
For unique installations, contact a licensed plumber.
In Massachusetts, a licensed plumber is required and the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Code 248-CMR
shall be adhered to.
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the steam feature. In
Massachusetts, plumbing code 248 CMR 3.00 and 10.00 must
be followed and a licensed plumber shall be used. If you have
questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT:
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the
range needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi (276 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 psi (276 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Electrical Requirements - U.S.A. Only
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.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
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.
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.
Electrical Connection
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.
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 on the
right vertical surface of the oven door frame. Refer to the
installations in the “Product Dimensions” section of the
“Location Requirements” section.
This range may be manufactured with a 4-wire power supply
cord, or it may not include a power supply cord. If your range
does not include a power supply cord, use a 4-wire power
supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40 or 50 amps and
investigated for use with ranges.
*The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with
kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a
nominal 1
³⁄₈
" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
A circuit breaker is recommended.
Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the range.
The Tech Sheet is located behind the kickplate in a clear
plastic bag.
