Installation Guide

• 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 or microwave hood combination
with minimum 400 CFM that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets. (See Figure 1)
•
If a range hood is installed above the
appliance, maintain a 30” minimum clearance
between cooking surface and bottom of range
hood. The range hood must be connected
directly to flues or to the outside. (See Figure
1)
•
Avoid placing cabinetry directly above
the appliance when possible. If cabinetry is
used above the cooking surface, use cabinets
no more than 13″ deep. Make sure the wall
coverings, countertop and cabinets around the
appliance can withstand heat up to 200º F
(93°C) generated by the appliance. (See
Figure 1)
•
Cabinet opening dimensions that are
shown must be used. Given dimensions are
minimum clearances. (See Figure 1)
•
Working areas adjacent to the range
should have 18″ minimum clearance between
countertop and cabinet bottom. (See Figure 1)
•
All openings in the wall or floor where
range is to be installed must be sealed.
•
Contact a qualified floor covering installer
to check that the floor covering can withstand
at least 200°F (93°C).
•
Use an insulated pad or ¼" (0.64 cm)
plywood under range if installing range over
carpeting.
•
The floor anti-tip bracket must be
installed. To install the anti-tip bracket shipped
with the range, see “Install Anti-Tip Bracket”
section.
•
Grounded electrical supply is required.
See “Electrical Requirements” section.
•
Proper gas supply connection must be
available. See “Gas Supply Requirements”
section.
