NOTE: The cooktop is manufactured for use with Natural gas. To convert to LP gas, see the gas conversion instructions provided in the literature package.

Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas supply and electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” and “Gas Supply Requirements” sections.

All electrical connections should be made by a licensed, qualified electrical installer.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.

■It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the right vertical surface of the oven door frame.

■It is recommended that a 600 CFM range hood be installed above the range.

■Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of the sides and rear of the range.

■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 risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

■All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed must be sealed.

■Do not seal the range to the side cabinets.

■Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

■The wall anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti- tip bracket shipped with the range, see “Install Anti-Tip Bracket” section.

■Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

■Proper gas supply connection must be available. See “Gas Supply Requirements” section.

■Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C). Use an insulated pad or ¼" (0.64 cm) plywood over carpet and under range if installing range over carpeting.

IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for baking and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
