Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Your Safety
,_ WARNING: For personal safetyremove house fuse or open circuit
breaker before beginning
installation. Failure to do so could result in
serious injury or even death.
All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met
for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range
can be disconnected at the outlet without moving
the range if the outlet is in the preferred location
(remove lower drawer).
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 sticks out at least 5" beyond the
front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a
cooktop must be no deeper than 13".
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
_1_ WARNING: To reduce the risk of
tipping, the appliance must be
secured by properly installing the
anti-tip bracket packed with the appliance.
See Installation Instructions
If you pull the range out and away from the wall
for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket
is engaged when the range is pushed back
against the wall.
Electrical Requirements
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 specified on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located above the storage drawer
on the oven frame.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your range connected 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
oven 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 new construction, follow the instructions
in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
FOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT
CONNECTION.
You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical
system. If you connect to aluminum wiring,
properly installed connectors approved for use
with aluminum wiring must be used.

Inspect cutout dimensions and location
of receptacle to be sure it fits within
layout Iocation.(See page 5.)
Refer to alternate construction section for
the following non standard installations.
a. Counter opening extends to the wall:
Maintop Filler (supplied with the range.)
(See Page 12 section AA for Installation
Instructions) or
Backguard (Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS).
See page 12.
b. Counter height greater than 36 3/4":
Lower Trim Slide-In (Kit JXS56XX).
¢. One side is not enclosed by a cabinet:
Bodyside (Kit JXS76XX).
d. Island Installation:
To provide an optimum installation, the
top surface of the counter top must be
level and flat (lie on the same plane)
around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to
make the top flat should be made or
gaps between the countertop and range
cook top may occur. Forcing the cook
top to fit may cause excessive gaps and
could break glass and void warranty.

Installation Instructions
Final Check List
Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (Reset) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
Be sure power is in service to the building.
Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape on metal panel (if applicable) under
control knobs and drawer have been removed.
Operation Check List
Check to make sure the Clock display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in
the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is
made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for
proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines
appear.
Push down and turn any one of the four surface knobs to "MED" setting to observe that the
element glows within 15 seconds. Turn the knob off when glow is detected. If the glow is not
detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required,
retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and
voltage.

Optional Maintop Filler or
Backguard Kit
If counter opening extends to the wail, it will require
Maintop Filler Kit (supplied with the range) or
Backguard Kit (JXS36XX or JXS39SS) to close the
gap.
Note: If the counter top is greater than 25" it wilI show a
gap between the backguard and wall or between filler
kit and the wall.
If the countertop is less than 25" agap wilI occur
between the countertop front and the control panel
ends (See section E7).

If you use the filler kit, place the metai filler piece
supplied with the range to the back of the range as
shown in the figure below. Start the 2 screws into the
upper holes at the outside rear of the range above the
iouvers, through the slots in the trim, holding the filler
piece centered on the maintop frame and pushing
upward to close the gap between the bottom of the
glass and the filler trim.
When the trim is set in the proper position tighten the 2
mounting screws. The top of the trim should be located
below the top surface of the glass to prevent pots, pans
and skillets from damaging the painted parts.

instructions for installation details.
[-A---_ Island Installation
Attach the anti-tip bracket per instructions in section D
making sure that the rear of the bracket is 25" from the
front of the countertop.
Beware that the screws provided are long and may
)enetrate through the back of the island cabinets. In
this event, use shorter screws (not provided) or the
screws provided should be used in the floor, (See
Section D for Wood/Concrete Floor Installation). Do not
use Backguard Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS.
For Cabinet Openings
Approximately 30-3/8"
If range is installed in cabinet opening approximately
30-3/8" the Vertical Side Trim Kit (JXS86XX) should be
used to cover gaps between range sides and cabinet.
Refer to the kit instructions for installation details.
[-A-'_ Cabinets over the Range less
than 30"
If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4"
insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less
than 0.0122" thick.
