Installation Safety Instructions
Warning!
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency or manufacturer (dealer).
Important
Remove all packing material and literature from oven before connecting the electrical supply to range.
•Have your range installed by a qualified installer.
•Your range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).
•Before installing your range on linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand 180°F without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4’’ thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.
•Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F.
•Avoid placing cabinets above the range. There must be a gap of at least 30’’ (76cm) between the top of the range and any combustible surface above it.
•To eliminate 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 is to be provided, the rise can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (13cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
If a ventilating hood is installed above the range follow the installation instructions supplied with the hood.
Caution
Items of interest to children should not be stored above a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Dimensions and clearances
Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.

The diagrams below show the minimum recommended distance from the range to nearby surfaces.
A Min 35 /’’(89.8cm) Max 36 /” (92.5cm)
BMin 43 /’’ (110cm) - 43 /” (111cm) recommend to allow for moving the range)

DMin 3’’ (7.5cm) but see below about door opening.
EMin 50’’ (127cm) F Min 18’’ (43cm)
G Maximum 13’’ (33cm)
The cooktop surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface. Above cooktop level a gap of 3” should be left between each side of the range and any adjacent vertical surface.
For
A minimum space of 30” is required between the top of the cooktop and a horizontal combustible surface.
The maximum depth for cabinets installed above cooktops is 13’’.
The standard depth of the range is 26¾’’ overall.
