o A new flexible metal appliance conduit
(½" NPT x ¾" or ½" I.D.) must be design
certified by CSA International. Because
solid pipe restricts moving the range we
recommend using a new flexible conduit
(4 feet length) for each new installation
and additional reinstallations.
o Always use the (2) new flare union
adapters ½" NPT x ¾" or ½" I.D.) supplied
with the new flexible appliance conduit for
connection of the range.
| Cabinet Construction
_ To eliminate the risk of cabinet
burns and fire, 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.
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 (Figure 1).
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1,9 cm)
from each front corner and/or rounded edge flattened
(Figure 1).

If the existing cutout width is greater than
30-1/16" (76,4 cm), reduce the ¾" (1,9 cm)
dimension.
Countertop must be level. Place a level on the
countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If
the countertop is not level, the range will not be
level. The oven must be level for satisfactory baking
results. Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of
countertop opening.
I]_ Gas Entry Preparation
• The hatched areas are the locations where the gas
line can enter the cabinet (Figure 2).
• The recommended position for the gas entry line is
located at 4½" from the left cabinet wall and 3" from
the floor (figure 2).
• The wall shaded area is the location where the
electric junction box can be installed (read section 4).
