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. Check existing electrical supply. See 
“Electrical Requirements” section.

All electrical connections should be made by a licensed, qualified 
electrical installer.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.  
Failure to meet codes and ordinances could lead to fire or 
electrical shock.

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 left side frame 
behind the storage drawer panel.

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

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.

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.

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.

Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements

The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured 
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction 
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When such standard is not 
applicable, use the Standard for Manufactured Home 
Installations, ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or local codes.

Mobile home installations require:

When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be 
secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing 
the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards 
listed above.

Four-wire power supply cord or cable must be used in a 
mobile home installation. The appliance wiring will need to be 
revised. See “Electrical Connection” section.
