Step 3: Unpacking, Moving and Placing the Range

Page 10
Note: The range is designed for flush installation to the back wall. For a successful
installation, it may be necessary to reposition the gas-supply line and electrical cord
as the range is pushed back to its final position. SUGGESTION: This may be
accomplished by carefully pulling on a rope or twine looped around the gas or
electrical supply line as the range is pushed back into its final installed
position.
Installation of the range must be planned so that rough-in of junction box for the
receptacle or conduit connection will allow maximum clearance to the rear of the
unit.
When the power supply cord or conduit is connected to the mating receptacle or
junction box cover, the combined plug/receptacle or junction box cover/conduit con-
nector should protrude no more than 1 3/4" from the rear wall for 30" and 36"
Ranges; 2" maximum protrusion from the rear wall for 48" Ranges. See Figure 3b.
Refer to Figure 9 on Page 19 for location of junction box on unit. To minimize bind-
ing when the unit is connected to the receptacle or junction box, orient the recepta-
cle or conduit connector, and slide back into position.
Note: Canadian models have power cord supplied with range.
Note: When using a 240VAC receptacle having its own housing, it will be necessary to
recess the receptacle's housing into the rear wall. Mount the receptacle securely to
a wall stud, then seal around the receptacle's housing. Follow all local electrical
codes.

CAUTION
Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the
range to avoid injury, and to avoid damage to the unit or the floor. The
unit is heavy and should be handled accordingly.
• The range has an approximate shipping weight as shown in Chart A. It is rec-
ommended that the grates, griddle/grill plate and frame, burner caps, front kick
panel and oven racks be removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce the
1 3/4" max.
2" max. for 48" range
For 48" Ranges:
2" maximum
protrusion from
rear wall.
1 3/4" max. when plugged in.
2" max. for 48" range
