4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• This appliance must be electrically grounded.
• Do not allow the power cord to be pinched or crushed by the range or other heavy objects.
− Doing so can result in serious burns or electrical shock.
• Never remove the protective cover on the rear of the lower oven..
− Doing so can cause serious damage to power cord, resulting in serious burns and electric shock.
• The middle (neutral or ground) wire of a 3-wire power cord or a 3-wire conduit must be connected to the middle post
of the main terminal block. The remaining two wires of the power cord or conduit must be connected to the outside
posts of the main terminal connection block.
− Failure to do so can result in electrical shock, severe personal injury or death.
• Only a 4-conductor power-supply cord kit rated for 120/240 volts, 50 amperes and marked for use with ranges
with closed-loop connectors or open-end spade lugs with upturned ends shall be used. The middle (neutral) wire of
the power cord or 4-wire conduit must be connected to the middle post of the main terminal block. The other two
wires of the power cord or conduit must be connected to the outside posts of the main terminal connection block. The
fourth ground wire must be connected to the frame of the range with the ground screw.

CAUTION
• Wear gloves during the installation procedure.
− Failure to do so can result in bodily injury.
• The wall covering, countertop and cabinets around the range must be able to 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 temperatures of 194°F.
• Avoid placing cabinets above the range.
• If there are cabinets above the range, install a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
− Doing so will reduce the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching into cabinets above the heated surface elements.
• Do not install the range in a humid area. Splashing the range with water or any electrolyte can result in electric
shock.
• Do not let cooking grease or flammable material accumulate in or near the range.
