PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

_-I INSPECT INSTALLATION

LOCATION

Refer to alternate construction section for the following non-standard installations.

[] Counter opening extends to the wall:

Maintop Filler (supplied with the range.) (See page 15 for Installation

Instructions) or

Backguard (Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS).

[] Counter height greater than 36-314":

Lower Trim Slide-In (Kit JXS56XX).

[] One side is not enclosed by a cabinet:

Bodyside (Kit JXS76XX).

[] 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 and could break the glass and void the warranty.

_-I 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. NOTE: Do not remove the protective

channel from the sides of the glass cooktop, if applicable, until later in the installation.

CONNECTIONS

Because of potential safety hazards

[]

under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is a UL listed 3-wire grounding-type appliance

extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes

is equivalent to or greater than the branch circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local appliance dealer.

IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS

APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

[] An adequate electrical supply and

outlet must be used to operate the electrical parts of your range.

• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which must be used with a properly grounded three-hole outlet with standard

120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household current.

• When a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle by a qualified electrician.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove grounding prong from the range cord. Failure to provide proper ground may

create a hazardous condition.

GAS CONNECTIONS

_] MAKING THE CONNECTIONS

15"

[]

Install a manual shut-off valve in the gas supply line in an easily accessible location.

[]

Know how and where to shut off the gas supply to the range.

[]

Shut off gas supply before removing an old range. Leave it off until hookup of new range is finished.

[]

Because solid pipe restricts moving the range, we recommend use of a C.S.A. certified flexible metal appliance

connector.

WARNING: Never reuse old

flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal

injury. Always use new flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.

[] Before making gas connections, make

sure that the oven shut-off lever (visible at

the back of range) is in the open position.

[] When you are finished making

connections, be sure that all range knobs are turned to OFF before you open the main gas supply valve.

to check for gas leaks. Use liquid leak detector

at all joints and connections to check for leaks in the system.
