,'Be sure the oven is securely installed to a cabinet that

is firmly attached to the house structure. Weight on the
oven door could potentially cause the range to tip and

result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand,
or hang on the oven door.

,,A 30" minimum clearance is required between the top

of the cooking surface and the bottom of an

unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
,,Put the range near a work surface for convenience.
oThe cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with

natural light during the day.
,,To reduce the risk of burns or fire by reaching over

heated surface units, cabinet storage space located

above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet

storage space is to be provided, the risk can be

reduced by installing a range hood that projects

horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the

cabinets.
oSee Figure 1 for all rough-in and spacing dimensions.

These dimensions must be met for safe use of your

range.
oLocate a wiring junction box at the rear of the cutout.

The dimension from the top of the wiring junction box to

the countertop must be a minimum of 28 1/2". The box

must not extend more than 3" off the plane of the wall.

See Fig. 1_ The junction box must be located where it

will allow considerable slack in the range conduit, so

that the range can be pulled for servicing if necessary.
,, Make sure the wall coverings, countertops and

cabinets around the range can withstand temperatures

of up to 200°F generated by the oven, range or

cooktop.

WHICH iS CUT OUT TO THE WALL

If you have an existing 27" wide cutout that goes all the
way to the wall, you may want to buy a backsplash kit for
your range. Order Kit JX27RWH (White), Kit JX27RBK

(Black) or Kit JX27RAD (Almond). This kit will fil! in the
space between the back of the range and the wall. See

Figures 2, 3 and 4.

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 on oven front frame and is visible
when oven door is opened.)

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and

hookup of yOUr range done 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

Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code
requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a 4

conductor connection to an electric range. When
installing an electric range in a new construction, follow

the instructions in NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-
WIRE CORD CONNECTION KIT.

You must use a three-wire, single phase A.C. 208Y/120
Volt or 120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you

connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed
connections approved for use with aluminum wiring must

be used.

With oven in front of cabinet opening, connect flexible
conduit to the junction box in such a manner that it wilt

hang down in a natural loop against the left side of the
back wall when the oven is installed. Do not shorten

this flexible conduit. A flexible conduit connector
must be securely attached to the junction box and the

flexible conduit must be securely attached to the
connector. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the

connector, do not install the oven until a connector of
the proper size is obtained.
