Preparing to install the range

Minimum dimensions

IMPORTANT
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:

the range.
B:Allow 30" minimum clearance between
surface units and bottom of unprotected wood
or metal cabinet, or allow a 24" minimum when
A A bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected
by no less than 1/4" thick flame retardant
millboard covered with not less than No 28
MSG sheet metal, (.015"), .015" thick stainless
steel, .024" aluminum or .020" copper.
C:This appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to adjacent surfaces above the
cooktop. However, a 6" minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15" above the
cooktop and adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease
splatter and heat.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the
cooktop must be no deeper than 16".
D:Allow 24"/30"/36" (depensing on your range width) minimun clearance between right
and left cabinets.

Connecting the power

STEP 1. MEETING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
For personal safety, do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
Remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage
as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the right of oven door.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is
located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area.
Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there
are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70–Latest Edition.
Effective January 1,1996, the National Electrical Codere quires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps for 4-wire connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician
install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords maybe provided with
ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is
not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with no minal 13⁄8" diameter connection
openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knock out hole to keep
the edge from damaging the cable.
NOTE
This appliance is manufactured ready to be installed with a 4-wire cord set.
STEP 2. POWER CORD
