ELECTRIC DROP-ll\l RANGE
INSTALLATION GUIDE
IMPORTANT: Save this guide for the local electrfcal Inspector’s IMPORTANT: Read the Rules for Safe Use In your Use-and Care
use. . Manual before uslng your range.
LOCATION
. Put the range near a work surface for convenience.
l The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with natural light
during the day.
l To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated sur-
face units, cabinet storage space located above the suface units
should be avoided. If cabmet storage space is to be provided,, the
risk can be reduced b
horizonally a minimum oY installing a range hood that projects 5 In. beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
l See Figures 1 and 3 for all rou h-in and spacing dimensions.
These dimensions must be net or safe use of your range. The8
location of the electrical outlet may be changed as needed.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your
range done 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 range according to governing codes
could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
Ii
our range must be wired and fused to meet re uirements of the
atronal Electrical Code, ANSIINFPA No. TO-196q7
copy by writing: . You can get a

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 206’11120Volt or
120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum 1
wiring, properly installed connections approved for use with
aluminum wiring must by used.
In the absence of local codes, we recommend that a minimum wire
suze of No. 6copper wire be used.
Protect the circuit with a 40 Amp. fuse or circuit breaker for all
Models for both 206Y1120Volt and 120/240Volt systems.
See the section on Installation, for detailed instructions on hookup
of your range.
REMOVE SHIPPING MATERIAL
Remove the accessory pack from the oven. Check and secure any
parts which may have come loose during shipment.
Remove the cardboard shipping frame, under the oven bake ele-
ment, by lifting the front of the element slightly and pulling the
frame out.
Remove the shipping wire from each of the four cooktop elements.

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.
