30" ELECTRIC DROP-IN RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This range is designed to hang from the countertop. It
does not rest on the floor.
Be sure the bottom of any wall cabinets are a minimum
of 30" (76.2 cm) above the rangetop area.
To eliminate the hazard or reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to
be provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5"
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom front edge of the
cabinets.
Important Note: Door removal is not a requirement for
installation of the range, but is an added convenience.
Refer to the Use and Care Guide for oven door removal
instructions.
1. Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart, and be
sure they are plumb and level before attaching to
countertop.
2. Cut countertop exactly as shown in Figure 1. Shave
raised edge level to clear 31 1/2" (81 cm) wide rim
on rolled edge styled countertops.
3. Install the wiring junction box in an adjoining
cabinet or under the floor (range has 48"/122 cm of
conduit). Cut 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) hole to bring conduit
to the junction box.
4. To provide an optimum installation, the top surface
of the countertop must be level and flat (lie on the
same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make the top
flat should be made or gaps between the
countertop may occur.
5. To reduce the risk of damaging your
appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the
ceramic glass. Manipulate with care.
6. Move range in front of cabinet opening.
7. Push the electric conduit through the hole and
attach it to the junction box. Leave enough slack in
the conduit to allow the range to be pulled forward
several inches for service if necessary.
8. Oven door is heavy. It is advisable to remove
door and eliminate its weight as range is lifted
into position. See oven door removal
instructions in the Use and Care Guide. Lift the
range into position on the countertop and
make sure the appliance is centered in the
cutout opening to be sure that the flanges of
the upper side panel are sitting on the
countertop to avoid glass breakage.
