ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION, FOR PERSONAL SAFETY:
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH

THIS APPLIANCE.

REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN
CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING
INSTALLATION.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper

voltage and 

 and connected to an

individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse, as

noted on the rating plate.

Wiring must conform to National Electric Codes.

If the electric service provided does not meet the
above 

 it is recommended 

that a

licensed 

electrician install an approved outlet.

Because range terminals are not accessible after
range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord
must be used.

STEP 1

PREPARE THE OPENING

1%” spacing is recommended from the range to

adjacent vertical walls above cooktop surface.

Allow 

30” 

minimum clearance between surface

units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal

top cabinet, and 15” minimum between

countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed
with that appliance.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching

over heated surface units, cabinet 

storage space

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 min. of 

5“ 

beyond the bottom of

the cabinets. Make sure the wall coverings,

countertops and cabinets around the range can

withstand heat generated by the range, oven or

cooktop 

 to 

200°
