REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS
Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all packing
parts from oven, racks and heating elements. Remove protective film and labels on the outer door
and control panel. Also, remove plastic on trims and panel and all tape around the oven. Open oven
door and remove literature pack and oven racks. Remove the bottom trim from the side of the oven.
It will be installed at the end of the installation process. The trim is wrapped separately in a plastic
bag which also contains the five screws to secure the bottom trim and the 4 anti-tip screws used to
secure the product to the countertop. The plastic bag is taped to the side of the unit.
ATTENTION INSTALLER: All electric drop-ins must be hard-wired (direct-wired) into
an approved junction box. A plug and receptacle is NOT permitted on these products.

Range support
Countertop thickness 1-1/2” min. is required to support the product. Countertop width 1-1/2” min. is
required to properly support the 3/4” anti-tip screw.
Braces must be installed between the underside of the countertop and the cabinet if required to
obtain 1-1/2” minimum thickness (each side)
Make sure the wall coverings, counters and cabinets around the oven can withstand the heat (up to
200°F [93.3°C]) generated by the oven.
This range is designed to hang from
the counter top. It does not rest on the
cabinet. The range must not be installed
on a floor or sub structure (2” x 4”
support)
MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED

TOOLS YOU MAY NEED
1/8” Drill Bit and Electric or Hand Drill

• 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” aluminium or .020” copper.
• This appliance has been approved for 0”
spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a 6” 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 cook-
top, 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 16”.
Locate a wiring junction box at the rear of the cutout. The dimension from the top of the wiring junc-
tion box to the countertop must be a minimum of 28-1/2”. The box must not extend more that 3” off
the plane of a wall. The junction box must be located where it will allow considerable slack in the
range conduit, so that the range can be pulled for servicing if necessary.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING
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.
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly
installed and engaged.
Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when
the range is moved.
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket
in place and engaged.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or serious burns to children or adults.
