clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls of the cabinet.

NOTE:

Use a 4’ power cord to prevent interference with

the storage drawer. Power cords 4

have to be dressed to allow for proper drawer closing.

MINIMUM DIMENSIONS BETWEEN COOKTOP,
WALLS AND ABOVE THE COOKTOP:
A.

Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring
and cabinets around the range can withstand the
heat (up to 200°F) generated by the range. 0” to
cabinets below cooktop and at the range back.

B.

Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface units
and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or
allow a 24” minimum when bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is protected by no less than 1/4” thick flame
retardant millboard covered with not less than No.
28 MSG sheet metal, (.015”), .015” thick stainless
steel, .024” aluminum or .020” copper.

C.

This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing
to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However,
a 6” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet is
recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.

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 projects at least 5” beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 16”.

Anti-Tip Bracket

Kit Included

WARNING

Before

beginning the installation, switch power
off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.

• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the
range back such that the foot is engaged.

• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.

• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns
to children or adults.
