• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby.

Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.

• Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.

Range Location

Choose a location based on following factors.

• Range is designed to be vented outdoors.

• Electrical rating is 12.5 KW, 120, 60 Hz.

• Drafts caused by home heating and air conditioning and open doors or windows can disrupt ventilation air pattern. Range should not be installed near windows or doors.

• Range can not be installed in a tunnel type wall opening. Air currents moving through tunnel can disrupt ventilation air pattern.

• Range can either be ducted through wall or through floor to outside.

• Make sure there is adequate space for proper installation.

• Carefully read all instructions before beginning installation.

Remove protective packing materials from range. Tape residue can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol.

Cabinet Opening

WARNING

To avoid risk of burns or fire by reaching over burners, cabinet storage space located above range should be avoided.

Range should extend approximately 11/2 inch from cabinet front to oven door handle. Remove venting kit from storage drawer. Using dimensions in figure below and shown in Special Counter top Conditions section to prepare cabinet opening. Range Dimensions:

WIDTH - 2915/16 inches DEPTH - 29 inches (with handle) HEIGHT - 36 inches

Standard Cabinet and Counter top Height

Minimum Clearances to Combustible Surfaces

• Minimum clearance to rear wall is 0 inches.

• Minimum clearance to a vertical right or left side wall is 3 inches.

• Minimum clearance to counter top/cabinet on each side is 0 inches.

Special Counter Top Conditions

Irregular Cabinet and Counter top Heights Counter tops such as ceramic tile tops cause cabinet and counter top to be higher than 36 inches. Follow instructions below when counter top is higher than 36 inches.

1. Raise leveling legs to maximum level.

2. Measure from floor to side trim. If measurement is less than height of counter top, floor must be shimmed.

3. Shim floor using a piece of plywood same size as range opening. Secure plywood to floor. Plywood must be as secure as original flooring.

4. Install anti-tip bracket and slide range into place.

Island or Peninsula Installation

Island or peninsula installations with 24 inches deep base cabinets must use flush back cabinets with no rear toe space to avoid range interference. If a rear toe space is desired, use 27 inches or deeper base cabinets.

Slide-in Installation

Backrail

1-3/4"

• For a manufactured counter top, with or without a backsplash, make cutout keeping rear dimension as illustrated. The backrail on back of range slides over manufactured counter top creating a tight fit.

• Backrail may not reach back wall because of counter top. Corner of backrail can be clipped off with a pair of wire cutters for a tighter fit.

Duct Requirements

• Duct should be 6 inch round metal ducting. Island or peninsula installations may require 31/4 X 10 inch duct.

• To ensure proper ventilation, duct work must not exceed 60 equivalent feet.

• Curved fittings should not account for more than 50% of duct length.

• Flexible duct is not recommended because of irregular interior surface. If flexible duct is to be used, one foot is equal to 2 feet of metal duct. NEVER USE PLASTIC TYPE DRYER DUCTING.

• Do not vent into an attic or crawl space. Duct range outside.

• Flexible duct elbows are equal to twice as many feet as smooth metal elbows.

• Never install two elbow fittings next to each other. Two elbows installed together create a poor vent path and insufficient ventilation.

• Seal all duct joints tightly using duct tape. Openings left in ducting allow smoke and odor to escape inside house.

• For best performance, do not use more then three 90° elbows.

• 6 inch transition duct provided must be mechanically secured to exhaust blower outlet. Secure transition duct using two screws provided.

Back Wall Duct Location

1. Locate studs in wall.

2. Measure and cut an opening for thimble as illustrated in figure below. Cutout should be 61/8 inch diameter circle.
