If using a power supply cord kit:

■

The cord should be rated at 250 volts minimum, 40 amps or 
50 amps that is marked for use with nominal 1

³⁄₈" (3.5 cm) 

diameter connection opening and must end in ring terminals 
or open-end spade terminals with upturned ends.

It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a 
licensed, qualified electrical installer.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation 
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The 
model/serial rating plate is located on the frame behind a top 
corner of the door or either side of the drawer.

■

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated 
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the 
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be 
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood 
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond 
the bottom of the cabinets.

■

Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. 
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

The anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-tip 
bracket shipped with the range, see “Install Anti-Tip Bracket” 
section.

Grounded electrical supply is required. See the appropriate 
“Electrical Requirements” section.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your 
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used
