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 vertical surface below the control panel on the right.

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.
