IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions
For Your Safety
• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range.
• 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 sticks
out at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. 
Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be
no deeper than 13”.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring 
and hookup of your range connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have the
electrician show you where your main range 
disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your 
range according to governing codes could result 
in a hazardous condition. If there are no local 
codes, your range must be wired and fused to 
meet the requirements of the National Electrical 
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70–Latest Edition. You can
get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new, but not 
existing, construction utilize a four-conductor 
connection to an electric range. When installing 
an electric range in new construction, a mobile 
home, recreational vehicle or an area where 
local codes prohibit grounding through the 
neutral conductor, follow the instructions in the 
section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase
A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum 
wiring, properly installed connectors approved 
for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
WARNING:
For personal safety,
remove house fuse or open circuit
breaker before beginning installation.
Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
