BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING
IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTALLER
BEFORE YOU BEGIN - DISCONNECT THE POWER TO THE RANGE AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT
BREAKER AND READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE.
Important: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Proper installation is your responsibility. A qualified technician must install this range. Make sure you have
everything necessary for correct installation. It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation clear-
ances specified in these instructions and the electrical requirements specified on the model/serial rating plate
located under the cooktop.
Check location where range will be installed. The range should be located for convenient use in kitchen.
Cabinet opening dimensions shown on page 19 must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See "Electrical requirements," Page 20.
It is the customer's responsibility to contact a qualified
electrical installer and to make sure that the electrical
installation is adequate and in conformance with National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition*, and all
local codes and ordinances.
CLEARANCES - When installing a range around cabinets, use
the recommended clearances given in Table X, page 19, and the
maximum and minimum clearances description given on page 19
in order to conform with safety standards.
The maximum depth of cabinets installed above cooking tops is
13 inches.
The sides of the range can be flush to combustible material below the
cooktop. The back of the range can be flush to combustible material.
Zero clearance is permitted between the range and combustible
construction extending from the cooking surface to 18 inches
above the level of the cooking surface.
IMPORTANT: Serious hazards are associated with reaching into
storage cabinets above a range. To eliminate the risk of burns or
fire by reaching over heated surface units, avoid locating cabinet
storage space above the surface units. If storage cabinet is
provided above a range with a lower oven only, the hazard can
be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
Caution: Not all cabinets and building materials are designed to
withstand the heat produced during the normal safe operation of a
listed appliance. Damage, such as discoloration or delamination
may occur.
Mobile home installation
The installation of this range must
conform with the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 {formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24,
HUD (Part 280)}
or, when such standard is not
applicable, the Standard for
Manufactured Home Installations,
ANSI A 225.1/NFPA 501A, or with
local codes.
When this range is installed in a
mobile home, it must be secured to
the floor during transit. Any method
of securing the range is adequate as
long as it conforms to the standards
listed above.
Four wire power supply cord or cable
must be used in a mobile home
installation. The appliance wiring will
need to be revised. See "Four-wire
electrical connection." Page 22.
