Steps 1through 4: Preparation

Installation Preparation Safety Instructions

1. Install Ventilation

Siemens strongly recommends the installation of a ventilation hood above this range. For most kitchens a certified hood rating of not less than 300 CFM is recommended. The range hood must be installed according to instructions furnished with the hood.

2. Prepare Cabinets

This unit is designed for installation near adjacent walls and projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials.

Allow a minimum of 30 inches between cabinets where range is to be installed (See Figure 1).

Required Clearances*

From cooktop to materials above (See Figure 1)** There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.

24 inches is acceptable when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by (a) not less than 1/4" of flame retardant material which must be covered with (b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015 inch stainless steel’ or 0.024 inch aluminum or copper.

From range walls to adjacent materials (See Figure 1) No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical combustible walls on rear, right or left.

Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls must be at least 4”.

NOTE: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the temperatures allowed by U.L., particularly self-cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain. This is most noticeable with laminated cabinets.

Final Steps

3.Prepare Gas Supply Line and Electrical Outlet

The gas supply line and electrical outlet must be located in the shaded space in in Figure 2.

4. Prepare Walls and Floor

Seal any holes in the walls or floor. Remove any obstructions (extra electrical or gas connections, etc.) so that range will rest against wall properly.

Install Anti-Tip Bracket

1.Adjust height of range and level by rotating the adjustable leg supports on the bottom of the range, using 1-1/4" wrench.

2.Measure to locate bracket position as shown in Figure 8.

3.Secure bracket with 2 screws adequate for mounting surface, not included. (i.e.; for wood floor use wood screws, for concrete floor use concrete anchors and screws).

TIPS:

Tape warming drawer shut to keep it from opening while installing the range.

During installation, place a portion of the box or a piece of cloth under the range to protect floors.

To make range lighter and easier to handle, remove door (see instructions in Use and Care manual).

*Instructions were determined using Standard American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36" high x 24" deep . Cabinets over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking surface measure 13 inches deep from backwall. If nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.

**12 mm clearance from range sidewall to cabinet required in Canada.
