10Preparing for Installation
CABINET AND COUNTERTOP PREPARATION
Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this appliance should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada, installation must conform to current Natural Gas Installation Code,
All dimensions shown are based on standard American cabinets, 36 inches (914mm) high at the finished countertop by 24 inches (610mm) deep, with a 25 inch (635mm) overall countertop depth. When installing the range into nonstandard cabinets, minimum clearances shown in the diagrams on page 11 must be maintained.
Carefully check the location where the range is to be installed. For best performance, the range should be placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors, windows and HVAC outlets.
NOTES
•If cabinet storage space is to be provided directly above the range, the risk of personal injury may be reduced by installing a ventilating hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the cabinets.
•The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. We recommend installing a noncombustible material on the rear wall above the range and up to the vent hood. It is not necessary to install noncombustible materials behind the range below the countertop height.
•The minimum distance from the sides of the range above the countertop to combustible side walls must be at least 10 inches..
•All models are delivered with a 3.5” backguard from the factory. A 9” backguard is available on the E36GF75GPS AND E36GF76GPS as options.
•Utilities may be located: In the lower left corner of the adjacent right cabinet. (Refer to Figure 2)
IMPORTANT
•Contact your local building department to verify compliance with local code interpretation.
