For your safety
Tip-Over hazard
WARNING!
A. A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
B. Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and
engaged (See below).
C. Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged when the range is
moved (See below).
D. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place
and engaged.
Anti-Tip Bracket
WARNING!
•To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket.
•See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.

Steps for installation
Remove packaging materials
Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all packing
parts from the oven, racks, heating elements and drawer. Also remove protective film and labels on
the door, cooktop and control panel.
Prepare the opening
(for indoor use only)
See ilustrations for all rough-in and spacing
dimensions. The appliance may be placed with
0'' clearance (flush) at the back walls and side
walls of the cabinets.
A. Recommended acceptable electrical outlet
area. Orient the electrical receptacle so the
length is parallel to the floor.
EN 5

Minimum dimensions between cooktop, walls and above the cooktop
•Provide adequate clearances between the
range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
These dimensions must be met for the safe
use of your appliance.
•Make sure the wall covering, countertop,
flooring and cabinets around the range can
withstand the heat (up to 200°F (90°C))
generated by the range.
•Allow 30'’minimum clearance between
surface units and bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet, or allow a 24'’
minimum when the bottom of wood or
metal cabinets is protected by no less than
1/4'’thick flame retardant millboard
covered with not less than No 28MSG sheet
metal, (0,015'’) thick stainless steel, 0,024'’
aluminium or 0,020'’copper.
•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
recomended to reduce steam, grease
platter, and heat exposure.
•Install with zero clearance on sides and
back.
Cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided to reduce the risk of burns or fire when
reaching over hot surface elements. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop,
the risk can be reduced by installing an appliance hood that projects at least 5'’beyond the front of
the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the cooktop must be no deeper than 16'’.
NOTE! The cooktop must be at or above the
counter.
Rating plate
The rating plate indicating the basic information
about the appliance is located on the oven
frame and it is visible when the oven door is
opened.

Electrical installation
Power cord and conduit installation
On the back side of the appliance remove the
metal cover by removing screws using a
screwdriver. Do not discard these screws.
INFORMATION!
NOTE! Power cord and conduit with strain
relief are not included in the appliance. It
must be purchased separately.

For power cord installation
Assemble the strain relief in the connection plate hole (1 3/8''). Insert the power cord through the strain
relief and tighten the clamp screws.

2. Power cord
3. Strain relief
NOTE! The power cord must always be installed with strain relief mounted into the connection plate.
NOTE! Terminals on the power cord must be closed-loop or open-end spade lugs.
For conduit installation
Remove the conduit connection plate by
removing two screws and rotating it, as shown
below. The conduit hole (1 1/8'') must be used.
Tighten both screws back.
EN 7

Prepare the conduit cord (insulation stripped)
as shown in A.
Install the conduit cord into the connection
plate as shown in B.
Insert the strain relief into the conduit hole (1
¹⁄8''). Then thread the conduit cord through the
body (2) of the strain relief and fasten the ring
(1). Reinstall the connection plate into possition
and screw up.
Three-Wire Cord Connection
WARNING!
The neutral wire of the power cord must be connected to the neutral terminal located in
the center of the terminal block. The power leads must be connected to the lower left
and the lower right terminals of the terminal block.

the bottom center block opening. Insert the two side bare wire tips into the lower left and the lower
right terminal block openings.
•Tighten the screws until the wire is firmly secured (35 to 50 inch-lbs.) Do not over-tighten the
screws.
Four-Wire Cord Connection
WARNING!
The neutral wire of the supply circuit must be connected to the neutral terminal located
in the lower center of the terminal block. The power leads must be connected to the
lower left and the lower right terminals of the terminal block. The grounding lead must
be connected to the frame of the range with the ground plate and ground screw.
