Before beginning

the installation, switch power off at service

panel and lock the service disconnecting

means to prevent power from being

switched on accidentally. When the service

disconnecting means cannot be locked,

securely fasten a prominent warning device,

such as a tag,

to the service panel.

PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)

See illustrations for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. The range may be placed with 0”

clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls of the cabinet.

NOTE C

Both

Sides

NOTE: Use a 4’ power cord to prevent interference

with the storage drawer. Power cords 4

’ to 6’ long

may have to be dressed to allow for proper drawer

closing.

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,

WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:

A. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring

and cabinets around the range can withstand the

heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range.

B. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface

units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal

cabinet, or allow a 24” minimum when bottom

of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no less

than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard covered

with not less than No 28 MSG sheet metal, (.015”),

.015” thick stainless steel, .024”

aluminum or .020” copper.

C. This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However,

a 2” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent

cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space

above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above

the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5” beyond

the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.
