30" ELECTRIC DROP-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Improper connection of aluminum
house wiring to copper leads can result in a short
circuit or fire. Use only connectors designed for
joining copper to aluminum, and follow the
manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with this appliance are UL-recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than the temperature rating of household wiring.
The current carrying capacity of the conductor is
governed by the temperature rating of the insulation
around the wire, rather than the wire gauge alone.

Range Installation

The electrical power to the range
must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.

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 4).
• Tile countertops may need trim cut back 3/4"(1.9
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened (Figure 4).
