■Anti-tip bracket must be securely mounted to floor or wall. Thickness of flooring may require longer screws to anchor bracket to floor.

Parts needed

Check local codes. Check existing electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” section.

It is recommended that all electrical connections be made by a licensed, qualified electrical installer.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

■It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located on the frame behind a top corner of the door or either side of the drawer.

■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 that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

■Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

■The 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.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage. This oven has been designed in accordance with the requirements of UL and CSA International and complies with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F (90°C).

Electrical Requirements - Canada Only

WARNING

Hazard

Electrically ground range.

Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate and wire gauge are in accordance with local codes.

Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 - latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from:

Canadian Standards Association

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

Install anti-tip bracket to floor or wall per installation instructions.

Slide range back so rear range foot is engaged in the slot of the anti-tip bracket.

Re-engage anti-tip bracket if range is moved.

Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

1.Remove the anti-tip bracket from where it is taped inside the storage drawer or warming drawer.

2.Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.

If you have a stone or masonry floor, you can use the wall mounting method. If you are installing the range in a mobile home, you must secure the range to the floor.

3.Determine and mark centerline of the cutout space. The mounting can be installed on either the left side or right side of the cutout. Position mounting bracket against the wall in the cutout so that the V-notch of the bracket is 12⁄" (31.9 cm) from centerline as shown.
