• 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.

• The 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.

• See Figure t for all roughqn and spacing dimensions.
These dimensions must be met for safe use of your

range,

• Locate 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 1/2L 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 walt coverings, countertops and

cabinets around the range can withstand temperatures
of up to 200°F generated by the oven, range or
cooktop,

WHEN INSTALLING RANGE IN COUNTERTOP
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 tObuy a backsplash kit for

your range. Order Kit JX27RWH (White), Kit JX27RBK
(Black) or Kit JX27RAD (Almond), This kit win fill in the

space between the back of the range and the wal!. See

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, ANSl/NFPA No. 70-Latest

Edition.You can get a copy by writing:
