Cabinet Requirements
This unit is designed for installation near adjacent walls and
projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials.
Prepare the countertop and cabinets.
Allow a minimum of 30" (76.2 cm) between cabinets
where range is to be installed. No side clearance is
required in the U.S. (In Canada, 12 mm clearance is
required from range sidewalls to cabinets). Height is set by
adjusting the range legs (see later section, "Complete the
installation".
WARNING
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 cabi-
net storage is to be provided, the risk can be redu-
ced by installing a hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinet.
From cooktop to materials above: There must be a
minimum clearance of 36" (91.4 mm) between the top of
the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood
or metal cabinet. The minimum clearance from the top of
the cooking surface and a vent hood or OTR microwave
hood is 30 inches (72.2 cm).
Note: The slide-in range can also replace a
freestanding range. In this case, verify that the opening is
at least 30" (76.2 cm).
Install Ventilation
Bosch strongly recommends the installation of a ventilation
hood above this range. For most kitchens a certified hood
rating of not less than 300 CFM is recommended. The
range hood must be installed according to instrutions
furnished with the hood.
Required Clearance
These instructions were determined using standard
American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36"
(91.4 cm) high x 24" (61 cm) deep. Cabinets over the
cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the
cooking surface measure 13" (33 cm) deep from backwall.
If nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to
alter dimensions accordingly.
24" (61 cm) is acceptable when the bottom of the wood or
metal cabinet is protected by (a) not less than 1/4" (6.4
mm) of flame-retardant material which must be covered
with (b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015" (0.4
mm) stainless steel' or 0.024" (0.6 mm) aluminum or
copper.
No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent vertical
combustible walls on rear, right or left.
Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls must be
at least 4" (10.2 cm).
Note: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the
temperatures allowed by safety standards, particularly self-
cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain. This is
most noticeable with laminated cabinets.
English 8
Avoid obstructing air flow
WARNING
Risk of fire - do not obstruct the vent space at the
rear of the range top. Do not caulk or otherwise seal
this opening.
The Duel Fuel range requires a 1/8 inch (3 mm) opening to
be left open at the back of the range cooktop. The Gas
range requires a 1/4 inch (6 mm) opening to be left open at
the back of the range cooktop. This allows proper airflow to
occur. If this opening is sealed, the range and/or
surrounding cabinetry could overheat, possibly creating a
fire hazard.
Prepare Walls and Floor
Seal any holes in the walls or floo. Remove any ob-
structions (extra electrical or gas connections, etc.) so that
range will rest against wall properly.
Installation Procedure

damage.
Check Back of range for proper Installation
,
When properly installed, the cooktop trim around the
back of the range will rest lightly on the countertop.
2.
There should not be any gap between the countertop
and the trim; however, the weight of the range must not
rest on the countertop. Look under the range to verify
that both back legs are resting solidly on the floor. Also
verify that the left range leg is retained by the anti-tip
bracket.

Reinstalling the Oven Door
and Warming Drawer
Reinstall the oven door:
1. Hold the door firmly in
both hands.
2. Hold the door at a 30°
angle from the closed
position and insert
hinges into the slots.
You may need to rock
the door forward and
backward slightly to
seat the hinge feet.
,
The door may need to
be removed and re-
inserted until the
hinges sit correctly in
the slots.
4. The drawer has a "push-to-open" operation. Pressing
the front of the drawer inward causes the drawer to self
open.
5. Open and close drawer to test operation. Note: if the
drawer will not close, verify that the rail release levers
are properly positioned.
4. Open door all the way
to expose hinges,
levers, and slots.
5. Push levers forward
and down until seated
on the bracket.
,
Close and open door
slowly to be sure it is
correctly and securely
in place. Door must be
straight, not crooked.
Reinstall the Warming Drawer.
,
Be sure cabinet rails are pushed inside cabinet.
2.
Align the rails on the drawer rails with the rails attached
to the drawer housing.
,
Firmly push the drawer straight into the drawer housing
until the drawer clicks into place. The drawer should
insert easily. If it binds, do not attempt to force it.
