INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Tools and Parts

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.

Tools needed

Parts supplied

Check that all parts are included.

Anti-tip brackets must be securely mounted to subfloor.
Thickness of flooring may require longer screws to anchor
bracket to subfloor. Longer screws are available from your
local hardware store.

Parts needed

Check local codes and consult gas supplier. Check existing gas
supply and electrical supply. See “Electrical Requirements” and
“Gas Supply Requirements” sections.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do

not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.

It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the oven frame behind
the left side of the broiler door.

The range should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.

Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of
the sides and rear of the range.

To eliminate 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 is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.

All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed
must be sealed.

Do not seal the range to the side cabinets.

Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.

The floor anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-
tip bracket shipped with the range, see “Install Anti-Tip
Bracket” section.

Grounded electrical supply is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section. 
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See “Gas
Supply Requirements” section.

Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the
floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).

Use an insulated pad or 

¹⁄₄

" (0.64 cm) plywood under range if

installing range over carpeting.

IMPORTANT:

Some cabinet and building materials are not

designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for baking
and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to
make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or
sustain other damage.
