IMPORTANT Please read carefully.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the
appliance.
The wall receptacle and circuit should be checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Preferred Method

wall receptacle
Figure 5
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is installed,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced by a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Disconnect electrical supply cord from

Moving the Appliance for
Servicing and Cleaning
Turn off the range line fuse or circuit breakers at the
main power source, and turn off the manual gas shut-off
valve. Make sure the range is cold. Remove the service
drawer (warmer drawer on some models) and open the
oven door. Lift the range at the front and slide it out
of the cut-out opening without creating undue strain
on the flexible gas conduit. Make sure not to pinch
the flexible gas conduit at the back of the range when
replacing the unit into the cut-out opening. Replace
the drawer, close the door and switch on the electrical
power and gas to the range.
(Models with Sealed Top Burners)
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass
the grounding
prong.

Range Installation

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.
Standard Installation
1. The range cooktop (or cooktop glass) overlaps the
countertop at the sides and the range rests on the floor.
The cooktop (or cooktop glass) is 31½" (81 cm) wide.
2. Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart. Make sure they
are plumb and level before attaching cooktop. Shave
raised countertop edge to clear 31½" (81 cm) wide
range top rim.
3. Install cabinet doors 31" (78.7 cm) min. apart so they
will not interfere with range door opening.
4. Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 1.
5. A backguard kit can be ordered through Service Center.
6. 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 and the range
cooktop (or cooktop glass) may occur.
7. To reduce the risk of damaging your
appliance, do not handle or manipulate it by the
cooktop. Manipulate with care.
8. Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
9. Make sure that the cooktop (or cooktop glass) which
overhangs the countertop clears the countertop. If
necessary, raise the unit by lowering the leveling legs.
10.Level the range (see section 9). The floor where
the range is to be installed must be level. Follow the
instructions under "Leveling the Range-Models Equipped
with Leveling Legs".
11.Adjust leveling legs so that the underside of the cooktop
(or cooktop glass) is sitting on the countertop.
12.Carefully screw in the back leveling leg until the
cooktop (or cooktop glass) overhang touches slightly the
countertop. The cooktop must not support the unit.
13.Slide the range into the cutout opening.
14.Then carefully screw in the front two leveling legs
(similar to 12) until the cooktop (or cooktop glass)
overhang touches slightly the countertop.
15.If the range is not level, pull unit out and readjust
leveling legs, or make sure floor is level.
