INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BUILT-IN GAS AND ELECTRIC
SURFACE UNITS (Cooktops)
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over the heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.
INSTALLATION
It is the responsibility of your installer to make certain that your range is properly
installed. Situations caused by improper installation are not covered under the warranty.
Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer
of the appliance.
CABINET OPENING
Prepare the cabinet accurately so your unit will t properly. Below are cabinet cutout
dimensions. The dimensions are for the unit to be mounted so the knobs are on the

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued
• Never modify or alter the construction of the range such as removal of leveling legs,
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets or any other permanent part of the product.
• Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door. Slowly open the door to
allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or replacing food.
• Keep children from touching the oven door (or glass window, if equipped) when the
range is operating as the door (or window) could get hot enough to cause serious burns.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch re if allowed
to become too hot.
• Do not use water or our on grease res. Smother the re with a pan lid, baking soda
or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Turn utensil handles inward, but not extending over other surface elements. This
will minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due
to accidental contact with the utensil.
• Never immerse or soak the removable surface elements in water. Surface elements
clean themselves during normal operations or can be wiped with a damp, sudsy cloth
when the elements are off and cool. Be sure the elements are off and cool before
touching them. Even when the elements appear dark in color, they may be hot.
• Never leave the range unattended while the surface elements are on. Boil overs may
cause smoking, greasy spill overs may catch re or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the surface element reector pans
and never cover an entire oven rack with aluminum foil. Improper use
of aluminum foil may result in shock or re hazard. Refer to the Cleaning
section of this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.
• Do not use glass, earthenware or other ceramic-type cooking utensils for range top
cooking unless recommended by the utensil manufacturer. Utensils of this type may
break with sudden heat changes; most are designed to be used only in the oven.
• Do not use plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels
or wooden spoons could catch re if placed too close to the element.
• Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame when
you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your ngers.
