NOTE

• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• As when using any appliance generating heat, follow common-sense safety precautions.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly by a qualified installer or service technician.

Unpacking and Moving the Range
WARNING

• You should use two or more people to move and install the range. (Excessive Weight Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Do not use the door handles or knobs to push or pull the range during installation or when moving the range out for cleaning or service.

Doing so can result in serious damage to the range.

• Do not push or pull the range by grabbing the open oven door or cooktop only. Doing so can result in serious damage to the range.
• Do not lift the range using the cooktop or door handle. Doing so can cause damage and improper operation of the range.
• To reduce the risk of burns, do not move this appliance while it is hot.

NOTE

• The image may differ from the actual model.

• Remove packing material, tape and any temporary labels from your range before using.
  Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of the range.

• To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your range.

Electricity
The range should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet.

• This prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Flooring
CAUTION

• Use an insulated pad or 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) plywood under the range if installing the range over carpeting.

Ambient Temperature
CAUTION

• Make sure wall coverings, countertops and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the range. Discoloration, delamination or melting may occur. This range has been designed to comply with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperature of 194 °F.
• Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand temperatures of at least 200 °F (93 °C).

Leveling
Leveling the Range
Level the range by adjusting the leveling legs with a wrench. Extending the legs slightly may also make it easier to insert the rear leg into the anti-tip bracket.

Checking Adjustments

1. Place the level diagonally on the oven rack, and check each direction for level.
   First check direction **1**. Then check direction **7**.

2. If the level doesn’t show that the rack is level, adjust the leveling legs with a wrench.

Connecting Electricity

Electrical Requirements
This appliance must be installed and grounded on a branch circuit by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical code ANSI/ NFPA NO. 70 – latest edition.
All wiring should conform to local and NEC codes. This range requires a single-phase, 3 wire, AC 120/ 208 V or 120/240 V 60 Hz electrical system. Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL – listed range cord with closed-loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with upturned ends or similar termination. Do not install the power cord without a strain relief.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 120/240 V minimum range is required. If a 50 amp range cord is used, it should be marked for use with 1 3/ 8″ diameter connection openings. This appliance may be connected by means of a conduit or power cord. If a conduit is being used, refer to “3-Wire Connection: Conduit” or “4-Wire Connection: Conduit” sections.

WARNING

• 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.
• The power supply cord and plug should not be modified. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Using an extension cord to connect the power is prohibited. Connect the power cord and plug directly.
• Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
• Make sure that the power cord is not pinched by the range or heavy objects. Failure to do so can result in serious burns or electrical shock.

Connecting the Power Cord / Conduit
The rear access cover **1** must be removed. Loosen the two screws with a screwdriver. The terminal block will then be accessible.

Use the cord/conduit connection plate **7** to install the power cord or conduit. Leave the connection plate as installed for power cord installations.
Remove the connection plate for conduit installations and rotate it to use the smaller 1 1/8 in. (2.8 cm) conduit hole **3** instead of the 1 3/8 in.
(3.5 cm) power cord hole **4**.

For power cord **5** installations, hook the strain relief over the 1 3/8 in. (3.5 cm) power cord hole located below the rear of the oven. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten it.

For conduit installations, insert the conduit strain relief in the 1 1/8 in. (2.8 cm) conduit hole. Then install the conduit through the body of the strain relief and fasten the strain relief with its ring.

Anti-tip Device
Installing the Anti-tip Device
Tip Hazard
WARNING

1. A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.  

• Install the anti-tip device to the structure and/or the range. Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged by following the guide on the anti-tip bracket template.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip device by following the guide on the anti-tip bracket template. Ensure the anti-tip device is reengaged when the range is moved by following
• the guide on the anti-tip bracket template.
• Re-engage the anti-tip device if the range is moved. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.
• See installation instructions for details.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
• Range must be secured with an approved antitip device.
• The range could be tipped by standing, sitting or leaning on an open door if the range or anti-tip device is not properly installed.
• The use of this device does not preclude tipping of the range when not properly installed.
• After installing the anti-tip device, verify that it is in place by carefully attempting to tilt the range forward.
• This range has been designed to meet all recognized industry tip standards for all normal conditions.
• The installation of the anti-tip device must meet all local codes for securing the appliance.

Using the Anti-tip Bracket Template

• The anti-tip bracket is packaged with an installation template. The instructions include necessary information to complete the installation. Read and follow the range installation instruction sheet.
• Screws c must enter wood or concrete.

2. Wall Plate

Engaging the Anti-tip Device

1. Anti-tip Bracket

2. Leveling Leg

3. Slide the range against the wall, making sure the back leg slides into and engages the antitip bracket.

4. Check for proper installation by grasping the front edge of the cooktop and carefully attempting to tilt the range forward.

Test Run
Test the Range Before Use
Check if the range is properly installed and run a test cycle.

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

2. Press CLEAR/OFF.

3. Turn each knob to the HI position to check that the surface heating elements are working properly. The elements should glow red and radiate heat, and they should cycle on and off periodically even when the knob is in the HI position. This cycling prevents the glass-ceramic from being cracked by thermal shock.
   NOTE
   • The Warm Zone does not consume enough power to glow red.

4. After checking all the surface heating elements, check the locking system by pressing Control Lock for three seconds. The oven controller should lock and the cooktop should not operate while the Control Lock function is turned on. Press Control Lock for
   three seconds to disable Control Lock.

5. Now check the oven’s operation. Press Bake button once. 350 °F appears in the display. Press START.

6. The oven should finish preheating in 15 minutes, and the convection fan should operate while the oven is preheating.

7. After checking the oven’s operation, turn the temperature up to 450 °F and leave the oven on for at least an hour to help remove any oil which might cause smoke and odors when first using the oven.

NOTE

• Smoke may come out of the range when it is first used.
