Direct Electrical Connection to the Circuit
Breaker, Fuse Box or Junction Box
If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit
breaker, fuse box or junction box, use flexible, armored
or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding
wire). Supply a U.L. listed strain-relief at each end of
the cable. At the appliance end, the cable goes through
the Direct Connection Hole (see
Cord Mounting Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only)
and connections must conform to the rating of the
appliance.
Where local codes permit connecting the
appliance-grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire (see
Figure
1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from

Cabinet Construction

6.1
To eliminate the risk of burns
or fire by reaching over heated surface units, do not
have cabinet storage space above the range. If there
is cabinet storage space above range, reduce risk
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5" (12,7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinet.
6.2

Countertop Preparation

• The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout
edge of your countertop.
• If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required. Cooktop sides lay
directly on edge of countertop.
• Formed front-edged countertops must have
molded edge shaved flat 3/4" (1,9 cm) from each
front corner of opening
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4" (1,9
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 7).
• If the existing cutout width is greater than 30
1/16" (76,4 cm), reduce the ¾" (1,9 cm) dimension.
