Remove all packing material and literature from oven before
connecting gas and electrical supply to range.
• Have your range installed by a qualified installer.
• Your range must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 7o, latest
edition).
In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with
the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1
and/or local codes. See Electrical Connections in this
section.
• Before installing your range on linoleum or any other
synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can
withstand 180°F without shrinking, warping or discoloring.
Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4"
thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the
range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand heat generated by the range up to 2oo°F.
• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard
caused by reaching over the open flames of operating
burners, install a ventilation hood over the range that
projects forward at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets.
• The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet metal not
less than o.o122" thick. Install above the cooktop with a
clearance of not less than 1/4" between the hood and the
underside of the combustible material or metal cabinet. The
hood must be at least as wide as the appliance and centered
over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface
and the ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS
THAN 94 INCHES.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or
cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the
installation instructions packed with that appliance.
• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a minimum
clearance of 3o" between the cooking surface and the bottom
of"unprotected cabinets.
• If a 3o" clearance between cooking surface and overhead
combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be
maintained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the
cooktop with not less than 1/4" insulating millboard covered
with sheet metal not less than o.o122" thick. Clearance
between the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST
NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.
•The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to
the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer
than 1" to the plane of the range sides must not be less than
18". (See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this
section.)
