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.
Follow instructions for
the type of installation you have
Figure 9
If range will be installed with a cabinet on both
sides, mark center of cabinet opening on floor. If back
of range will not be flush with the wall (the location
of the outlet may not allow the range to be positioned
against the wall), mark on the floor where the back
edge of the range will be. Place the template on the
floor aligning the template centerline with the centerline
marked in the cabinet opening. Place the back edge of
the template against the rear wall or the line marked for
the rear of the range.
If range will be installed with a cabinet on one side
only, move the range into final position. Mark on the
floor along the side of the range that is not against the
cabinet. If back of range will not be flush with the
wall (the location of the outlet may not allow the range
to be positioned against the wall), mark on the floor
where the back edge of the range will be. Place the
template on the floor and align side of template with the
line marked on the floor. Align the back of the template
with the rear wall or the line marked for the rear of the
range.
If range will not be installed against a cabinet,
move range into final position. Mark on the floor along

on the floor where the back edge of the range will be.
Place the template on the floor and align sides of
template with the lines marked on the floor. Align the

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 fire 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 film from the
range.
2. Take 4 cardboard corners from the carton. Stack one
on top of another. Repeat with other 2 corners.
Place corners lengthwise on the floor in back of the
range to support range.
Excessive Weight Hazard
• Use 2 or more people to move and install
range.
• Failure to follow this instruction can result in
back or other injury.
3. Firmly grasp the range and gently lay it on its back
on the cardboard corners.
4. Remove and save the 4 shipping bolts from the skid.
Discard skid.
5. Install 4 shipping bolts as leveling legs.
6. Place cardboard in front of the range. Carefully
stand the range upright on cardboard.

base does not touch the floor.
