  • The range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the oven door on the top right-hand side of the oven frame.
  • This range is manufactured with a neutral terminal connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL-listed, 40- or 50-amp power supply cord (pigtail). See the 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.

Range Rating*| Specified Rating of Power Supply Cord Kit and Circuit Protection
---|---
120/240 Volts| 120/208 Volts| Amps
8.8 – 16.5 KW
16.6 – 22.5 KW| 7.8 – 12.5 KW
12.6 – 18.5 KW| 40 or 50**
50

• 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 the kit. For 50-amp-rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a nominal 1³⁄8″ (3.5 cm) diameter connection opening.

  • A circuit breaker is recommended.
  • The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker box (or fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic sheathed, copper, or aluminum cable. See the  Electrical Connection – U.S.A. Only” section.
  • Allow at least 6 ft (1.8 m) 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).
  • Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the range.
  • The tech sheet and wiring diagram are located on the back of the range in a plastic bag.

If Connecting to a 3-Wire System:
Local codes may permit the use of a UL-listed, 3-wire, 250volt, 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 1050R.

3. Slowly attempt to tilt the range forward.
   If you encounter immediate resistance, the range foot is engaged in the anti- tip bracket. Go to Step 8.

4. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½” (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, stop tilting the range and lower it gently back to the floor. The range foot is not engaged in the antitip bracket.
   IMPORTANT: If there is a snapping or popping sound when lifting the range, the range may not be fully engaged in the bracket. Check to see if there are obstructions keeping the range from sliding to the wall or keeping the range foot from sliding into the bracket. Verify that the bracket is held securely in place by the mounting screws.

5. Slide the range forward, and verify that the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall.

6. Slide the range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket.

7. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to ensure that the range foot is engaged in the anti-tip bracket. If the rear of the range lifts more than ½” (1.3 cm) off the floor without resistance, the anti-tip bracket may not be installed correctly. Do not operate the range without an anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. Please reference the “Warranty” section of the User Guide to contact the service.

8. Move the range into its final location. Check that the range is level by placing a level on the oven bottom. See the “Level Range” section.
   IMPORTANT: If the range is moved to adjust the leveling legs, verify that the anti-tip bracket is engaged by repeating steps 1 to 8.
