"A" =30 inches minimum clearance between the top ofthe cooking surface and the
bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet, or "A" = 24 inches minimum when
bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4-inch thick flame-
retar(jant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch
thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch thick aluminum, or 0.020-inch thick copper.
To eliminate the risk of burns orfire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. Ifcabinet storage
is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects

toward the center of opening and against the spacer as
shown in figures 4through 6, as applicable. (See figures
4through 6for information on appropriate spacer sizes.
See figure 8 for information on securing of spacer.)
C. Use the bracket as a template and mark the required
holes, as shown in figure 4 through 6, for the type of
construction you will be using.
STEP 2 -Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
A. Wood Construction:
1. Floor: Locate the center of the two holes identified in
figures 3 through 6, as applicable, as "holes for
floor." Drill a 1/8"pilot hole in the center of each hole
(a nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available.)
Secure the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor with the
two screws provided. Proceed to STEP 3.
2. Wall: Locate the center of the two holes identified in
figures 3 through 6, as applicable, as "holes for
wall." Drill an angled 1/8" pilot hole in the center of
each hole as shown in figure 7 or 8 (a nail or awl may
be used if a drill is not available.) Secure the
ANTI-TIP bracket to the wall with the two screws
provided as shown in figure 7 or 8. Proceed to STEP

OUTSIDE WIRING
Your local utility company will tell you whether the present
electric service to your home is adequate. It may be
necessary to increase the size ofthe wiring to the house and
service switch to take care of the electrical load demanded
bythe range. The kilowatt rating forthe range isspecified on
the name plate on the range.
wire plug-in outlet placed at a convenient point near the
back of the range. The range is then connected to this outlet
through an approved service cord (pigtail) fastened securely
to the terminal block with proper strain relief atthe range and
a three or four pronged plug at the opposite end.
RANGE CONNECTIONS
On models using service cords (Pigtail) the front surface of
the range outlet must be mounted flush to wall. See figures
10Aand 10C.

from the main entrance panel to the range and that it be
equipped with separate disconnect switch and fuses, either
in the main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse
box. In some communities, a solid or flexible continuous
armored conduit must be used from main entrance panel to
the terminal box on the rear of the range. Others will permit
the termination ofthe range circuit ata polarized three orfou r
On models not provided with a service cord and models
having a conduit, connection to the power supply is
necessary. REMEMBER -mobile homes and some LOCAL
