Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the 
range is properly grounded.

*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 time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

■

This range is equipped with a CSA International Certified Power 
Cord intended to be plugged into a standard 14-50R wall 
receptacle. Be sure the wall receptacle is within reach of 
range’s final location.

Do not use an extension cord.

1. Remove shipping materials, tape and film from the range. Keep 

cardboard bottom under range.

2. Remove oven racks and parts package from inside oven.
3. To place range on its back, take 4 cardboard corners from the 

carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another. Repeat 
with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on the floor 
behind the range to support the range when it is laid on its 
back.

4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay it 

on its back on the cardboard corners.

5. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.
6. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs.
7. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or 

more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or 
hardboard.

1. If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or pliers 

to loosen the 4 leveling legs.
This may be done with the range on its back or with the range 
supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed back to a 
standing position.

NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a 
sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or 
more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or 
hardboard.

2. Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs can 

be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A 
minimum of 

³⁄₁₆" (5.0 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip 

bracket.
NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing, tilt 
the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to 
adjust the rear legs.

3. When the range is at the correct height, check that there is 

adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket. 
Before sliding range into its final location, check that the anti-tip 
bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear leveling leg 
prior to anti-tip bracket installation.
