Electrical Requirements
Remove the wire cover (on the back of the
range) by removing 5 screws using a 1/4” nut
driver. Do not discard these screws.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual properly grounded branch circuit;
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having
amperage as specified on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located above the storage drawer
on the oven frame.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your range connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you where your main range
disconnect is located.

RELIEF
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your
oven according to governing codes could result in
a hazardous condition. If there are no local
codes, your range must be wired and fused to
meet the requirements of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can
get a copy by writing:
When reinstalling the one-piece wire
cover, make sure that wires do not
become pinched between wire cover
and mainback.

Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new, but not existing,
construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to
an electric range. When installing an electric
range in new construction, follow the instructions
in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system. If you connect to aluminum wiring,
properly installed connectors approved for use
with aluminum wiring must be used.
grounding through neutral.
These will require a four-wire flexible cord kit. If
the range is rated between 8,750 and 16,500
watts, the cord kit must be rated for 40 amps-
125/250 volts. If the range is rated between
16,501 and 22,500 watts, the cord kit must be
rated for 50 amps-125/250 volts. For existing
construction, a three wire flexible cord kit may
be used, and the same ratings apply as de-
scribed above.
• When using a cord kit rated 40 Amps, remove
the knockout in the connection plate. You
must use a clamp or strain relief to hold the
cord.
• Terminations must be either closed loop
terminals or open end spade lugs.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white leads
on the junction block.

The anti-tip bracket, provided with your literature
and broiler pan, must be properly installed to
prevent the range from tipping. Please refer to
the instructions provided with your anti-tip
bracket.
INSTALLATION–WOOD CONSTRUCTION
a. Locate the centers of the four holes identified
in Fig. 1 as Floor-Wood and Wall.
b. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole through the pre-marked
areas. Note the angle of the wall screw in
Fig. 2.
a. Decide whether the bracket will be
installed on the right or left side of range
location.
c. Mount the Anti-Tip bracket with the four
screws provided.
b. If the bracket side of the range has an
adjacent cabinet, place the bracket
against the back wall and cabinet as
shown in Fig. 1. If there is a countertop
overhang, offset the bracket by the
amount of overhang. If there is no
adjacent cabinet, place the bracket to the
outside edge of the range side panel and
back wall.

Final Check List
E
Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (Reset) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
Be sure power is in service to the building.
Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape on metal panel (if applicable) under
control knobs have been removed.
Operation Check List
F
Check to make sure the Clock display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear
in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If
change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring
checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if
the red lines appear.
Push in and turn any one of the four surface knobs to “MED” setting to observe that the
element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the knob off when glow is detected. If the glow is not
detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required,
retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections
and voltage.
