40" ELECTRIC RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cabinet Construction

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
located above the range should be avoided. If cabinet
storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinet.

Range Installation

When unpacking the range, do not
discard the 4 shipping bolts. These are to be replaced on
the unit for use as leveling legs and height adjustments.
NOTE:
1. The back of the range may be installed directly
against the rear wall of the structure.
2. These ranges conform to U.L. requirements for "0"
spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls
above the countertop level. However, to reduce
possible scorching of vertical walls and to minimize
potential fi re hazards under abnormal surface unit
use conditions such as high heat or no pans, a
minimum of 2" (5.1 cm) spacing should be provided
on both sides of the cooktop.
Preparation
1. Put on safety glasses and gloves. Remove oven racks
and parts package from inside the oven. Remove
shipping materials, tape and protective fi lm from the

range.
• Failure to follow this instruction can result in
back or other injury.
