,' Be sure the oven is securely installed to a cabinet that
is firmly attached to the house structure.
Weight on the
oven door could potentially cause the range to tip and
result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand,
or hang on the oven door.
,, A 30" minimum clearance is required between the top
of the cooking surface and the bottom of an
unprotected
wood or metal cabinet.
,, Put the range near a work surface for convenience.
o The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with
natural light during the day.
,, To reduce the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units 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" beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
o See Figure 1 for all rough-in and spacing dimensions.
These dimensions must be met for safe use of your
range.
o Locate a wiring junction box at the rear of the cutout.
The dimension from the top of the wiring junction box to
the countertop
must be a minimum of 28 1/2". The box
must not extend more than 3" off the plane of the wall.
See Fig. 1_ The junction box must be located where it
will allow considerable
slack in the range conduit, so
that the range can be pulled for servicing if necessary.
,, Make sure the wall coverings, countertops
and
cabinets around the range can withstand temperatures
of up to 200°F generated by the oven, range or
cooktop.

If you have an existing 27" wide cutout that goes all the
way to the wall, you may want to buy a backsplash
kit for
your range.
Order Kit JX27RWH (White), Kit JX27RBK
(Black) or Kit JX27RAD (Almond).
This kit will fil! in the
space between the back of the range and the wall. See
Figures 2, 3 and 4.

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 noted on rating plate.
(Rating plate is located on oven front frame and is visible
when oven door is opened.)
We recommend
you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of yOUr range done 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 range 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.You can get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
requires that new, but not existing, construction
utilize a 4
conductor
connection to an electric range. When
installing an electric range in a new construction, follow
the instructions in NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
WIRE CORD CONNECTION
KIT.
You must use a three-wire, single phase A.C. 208Y/120
Volt or 120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you
connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed
connections
approved
for use with aluminum wiring must
be used.
2o
De-energize oven branch circuit.
With oven in front of cabinet opening, connect flexible
conduit to the junction box in such a manner that it wilt
hang down in a natural loop against the left side of the
back wall when the oven is installed.
Do not shorten
this flexible conduit.
A flexible conduit connector
must be securely attached to the junction box and the
flexible conduit must be securely attached to the
connector.
If the flexible conduit will not fit within the
connector, do not install the oven until a connector of
the proper size is obtained.
