IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
A WARNING: For personal
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.
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.

Installation Instructions
Pre-lnstallation 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 2001bs. 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:

The Standard Installation of this Drop-In
Range is to hang by the countertop on the
side metal flanges under glass cooktop.
This Range must not be installed on a
base or sub structure (2"x 4" support).
If the construction of your cabinet cannot
provide a 1/4" flat area at the back of the
countertop opening, consider changing the
countertop to accommodate this dimension.
If the area is not flat, excess tension may
be applied to the glass cooktop, causing
breakage and voiding the warranty.
Center the 30" wide opening over the
adjacent cabinets and mark with a
straight edge.
Using a straight edge, mark the back line
at 23-3/16" from the front edge of the
counter.
Be careful not to damage the adjacent
cabinets while cutting the countertop.
Remove countertop raised edge, if
incorporated. (See illustration on page 4)
