MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:
A. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring
and cabinets around the range can withstand the
heat (up to 200_'F) generated by the range.
B. 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"
aluminum or .020" copper.
C. This appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to acljacent surfaces above the cooktop. However,
a 2" 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 cooktop, 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 13".

ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS
AWARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.
AWARN ING: All new corrstructions, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and installations where
local codes do not allow grounding through neutral, require a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord.
AWARNIN6: Topreventfireor shock,do not useanextensioncordwith this appliance.
AWARNING: To prevent shock, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before
beginning installation,
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician, After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range,
You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system, If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be
used,
Effective ,January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new
construction, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections,
Check with your local utilities for electrical (:odes which apply in your area, Failure to wire your oven
according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition, If there are no local (:odes, your
oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70 - latest edition,
available from the National Fire Protecti on Association,
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker
or time-delay fuse,
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord, These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device,
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required, A 50 amp range cord
is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1_" diameter connection
openings. Care should be taken to (:enter the (:able and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep
the edge from damaging the (:able,
The rating plate is located on the side of the drawer frame or under the cooktop.
Note: Use of automatic, wireless or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliances, are
not recommended for this product.

the end of the winged strain relief, they
can be removed for better fit.
NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a
strain relief. The strain relief bracket MUST be
installed before
