IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
WARNING:
safety, remove house fuse or
open circuit breaker before beginning installation. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death.
• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.
• 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 sticks out at least 5 beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 13”.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
For personal
Electrical Requirements
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating Plate is located behind the oven door on the range.)
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your range according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70– Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric range. When installing an electric range in new construction, a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, follow the instructions in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

Pre-Installation Checklist
Move Range Indoors In Front of Cabinet Opening
(Do not use hand trucks when moving the unpackaged range. Cooktop glass may be broken.)
Protect the kitchen floor! Flatten and
place a piece of the shipping carton in front of the installation location to protect the flooring.
Do not remove the protective channel from the sides of the glass cooktop until later in installation. (If supplied)
Inspect Installation Location
Inspect cutout dimensions and location of electrical junction box to be sure it fits within the layout location. See page 4. Refer to alternate construction section for the following non-standard installations.
a.
Counter opening extends to the wall:
Maintop Filler Kit (JXS66XX), or Backguard Kit (JXS36XX or JXS39SS). WARNING: If you do not use these kits, the anti-tip bracket must fit under an attachment to the wall that can withstand a force of 200lbs. in the upward direction. See Section D1.
b. Island Installation:
To provide an optimum installation, the top surface of the countertop must be level and flat (lie on the same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent to range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make the top flat should be made or gaps between the countertop and range cooktop may occur. Forcing the cooktop to fit may cause excessive gaps, or could break the glass cooktop and void the warranty.
Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product, but is an added convenience. To remove the door:
