WARNING: The Filler Strip supplied or

optional backguard must be used.

With any installation do not let the

countertop or other combustible material fill the space between the back edge of the cooktop and back of the required cutout.

Your range is designed to be installed in a 30" wide opening; the cutout depth will vary with the type countertop you have. There are three

basic recommended installations:

1. Standard 25" countertop without post-formed backsplash.

2. Island.

3. Standard countertop with post-formed backsplash.

After deciding the countertop type you have, choose the best installation to meet your needs.

With any installation, mark the cutout on the counter.

Dimensions given in the following references are measured from the front of the counter, not from the cabinet face. To minimize chipping, you may apply masking tape. For best appearance, it is important that the cut be smooth and straight.

Electrical Connections

The Three-Prong Outlet

The range cord has a three-prong plug and must be plugged into a properly grounded three-hole

outlet. The outlet must be in a standard 120 Volt, 60 Hertz AC household circuit.

IA o not under any circumstances cut or

remove the grounding prong from the

range cord. Failure to provide proper polarization may cause shock and fire hazard.

Improper grounding can affect spark ignition on models so equipped.

If you do not have a grounded three-hole outlet, have an electrician change your old outlet or

install a new one.

To temporarily use a properly polarized and grounded two-hole outlet until a grounded three- hole outlet can be installed, a grounding adapter plug may be used. Have an electrician test the outlet to be sure it meets requirements.

Plug with Ground Prong Propedy Polarized and Grounded Receptacle

PREFERRED METHOD

Where 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.

Leveling the Range

Checking Range

For proper baking results, the range must be leveled. The height of the range must also be adjusted to the height of the counter.

To do this:

1. Install the oven racks (see cleaning sections of the Use and Care Manual for instructions and additional

information).

2. Use a 1 3/8" open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the four leg levelers until the flanges (rims) on the sides of the cooktop are above the top of the counter.

3. Place range where it will be installed. Put a spirit level or glass measuring cup partially filled with water on

one of the open racks.

4. Use the wrench to adjust the leg levelers.

Adjusting the height of the range to match that of the cabinet height

The height of the range must be adjusted to the countertop height. For countertop heights greater than 37", additional measurements may need to be taken as detailed below.

When the range is elevated to the maximum height, there is a large space between the bottom of the

range and the floor, referred to as the toe space. This may be visually objectionable. The legs should not be extended any further than to provide a maximum of 3"

toe space. I_' J Y' J _ " '

This gap is very important to the proper ventilation of the range and must be maintained when treating the appearance of the toe space.

The following is a suggested method of making a filler for the toe space when the legs are extended as

mentioned before.

After the range is installed with the longer legs and is in position and level, measure from the bottom of the bodyside to the floor. This will be the required height of the toe space filler. This height

may range from 2 1/16" to 3". Any height less than 2 1/16" may not be visually objectionable and not need the filler.

Build the filler as shown. Make sure to provide the 3/4" gap at the top and the 5/16" gap at the bottom. These gaps will provide the proper ventilation as mentioned before.

If you wish to attach the filler to the floor or adjacent cabinets, use screws or other removable fasteners, so that the range can be readily removed if necessary.
