INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLING THE RANGE:.
1.
Allow 30 inches for the cutout width (Fig. 1). Note: Most
27” drop-in ranges can be replaced as they are usually in-
stalled in a 30” wide cabinet.
2. Check the adjoining cabinets and countertop to be sure
they are plumb and level, before
YOU
install the range.
3. Measure the overhang of the countertop from the front of
the cabinets (dimension “C” in Figure 1). If this is a 1-11’4”
(standard), mark notch depth “N” as shown in Figure 3 at
2”. from front edge of coutertop, but do not cut counter-
top until minimum clearance dimensions have been
checked.
4. Check all minimum clearance dimensions as follows:
(See Figures 1 and 3).
(a). Countertop must be flat at back of notch and flat area
must extend a minimum of 22” from back of notch.
(b). Backsplash or wall above coutertop must be a
minimum of 22-N” from back of notch.
(c). Wall or cabinet back below countertop must be a
minimum of 23- from back of notch. This provides
clearance for the range chassis and wiring. . I
(d). Cabinets or vertical surfaces extending above the
coutertop must be a minimum of 3” from sides of not-
ches for a vertical distance upward of at least 18”.
(e). There must be a vertical distance of at least 30” bet-
ween the coooktop and any overhead cabinets for an
area equal to the width and depth of the range (30” by
28”). See Figure 1.
5. If the coutertop overhang “C” is not I-X”, or minimum
clearance dimensions are not met with a 2” deep cut-out,
establish notch dimension so that back of notch is 0” to
r ;
%” back from face of base cabinets. Use maximum notch xA,
dimension “N” that will permit clearance dimensions to
be met. The table on the next page shows notch dimen-
sions to be met. The table on the next page shows notch
dimensions for various counter overhangs.
6. When the minimum clearance dimensions are met, cut
counter as shown in Figure 3. Sides of notches will bult
against end caps of range and must be cut smooth and
square. Cut with a fine-toothed saw, in the downward
direction if possible. Masking tape applied to the surface
before cutting will help minimize chipping. The remainder
of the cut-out is hidden by the range top so that the
smoothness of cut is not critical.
7. Install reinforcin
as shown in Fig. 9 braces under each side of countertop _

The electrical power to the range supply line must be
shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to
do so could result in serious injury or death. Install the
wiring junction box in an adjouning cabinet (Fig. 1) or
under the floor. (Range has 4 feet of conduit.) Cut a l-r/,”
hole to bring the conduit to the junction box.
The door is quite heavy. Before installing range, you may
remove door to lessen the weight as the range ISlifted in-
to position. See Oven Door Removal in the Use and Care
Guide. Lift the range into position on the countertop.
Note: This range is desinged to hang from the countertop.
It must not rest on the floor or the cabinet bottom.
Push the electric conduit through the hole and attach it to
the junction box. Leave enou -h slack in the conduit to
allow the ranae to be pulled orward several inches for
a
service if nec&.sary. ’
Use the 4 screws, packaged in the envelope in the aux-
iliary pack, to screw the unit to the countertop as shown in
Figure 2.
