Installation Safety Instructions
Warning!
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or
additional information, consult a qualifi ed installer,
service agency or manufacturer (dealer).
Important
Remove all packing material and literature from
oven before connecting the electrical supply to
range.
Have your range installed by a qualifi ed 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 70, latest edition).
Before installing your range on linoleum or any
other synthetic fl oor covering, make sure the
oor 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
200°F.
Avoid placing cabinets above the range. There
must be a gap of at least 30’’ (76cm) between the
top of the range and any combustible surface
above it.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fi re 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
rise can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
(13cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
If a ventilating hood is installed above the range
follow the installation instructions supplied with
the hood.
Caution
Items of interest to children should not be stored
above a range - children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Dimensions and clearances
Provide adequate clearances between the
range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These
dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.
Positioning the Range
The diagrams below show the minimum
recommended distance from the range to nearby
surfaces.
A Min 35 /’’(89.8cm) Max 36 /” (92.5cm)
B Min 43 /’’ (110cm) - 43

The cooktop surround should be level with, or
above, any adjacent work surface. Above cooktop
level a gap of 3” should be left between each side of
the range and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted
metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 1”.
A minimum space of 30” is required between the
top of the cooktop and a horizontal combustible
surface.
The maximum depth for cabinets installed above
cooktops is 13’’.
The standard depth of the range is 26¾’’ overall.
