CHECKING THE INSTALLATION SITE
Clearances and dimensions
To install the range, refer to the following figure.
CAUTION
CAUTION This range has been designed to comply with the maximum
allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194 °F. Make sure the wall covering,
countertops, and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 194 °F)
generated by the range. If not, discoloration, delamination, or melting may occur.

Minimum dimensions
IMPORTANT To eliminate the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching
over heated surface units, avoid having cabinet storage space located above the surface
units. If you have cabinet storage space over the heating elements, you can reduce the
risk by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.

TO AVOID BREAKAGE
CAUTION
CAUTION Do NOT lift or handle the unit by the cooktop glass.
Fig. 1

C4
1. The counter top around the cut-out should be flat and leveled (see hatched area on
Fig. 1).
2. Before installing the unit, measure the heights of the two cabinet sides (C1~C4),
front and back (See Fig. 1) from the floor to the top of the counter.
3. Level the range using the four leveling legs so that the height from the floor
to the underside of the cooktop glass frame is greater than the tallest cabinet
measurement by at least 1/16”.
4. Remove the Support Frames on the back left and back right of the glass cooktop
(Refer to page 4).
5. Slide the unit into the cabinet (DO NOT PUSH THE UNIT HARD). Make sure the
center of the unit aligns with the center of the cabinet cut-out.
6. The cooktop glass frame under the cooktop glass MUST sit above the cabinet
countertop so the unit is supported by its leveling legs. The cooktop glass should
NOT directly touch the countertop If the cooktop glass is touching the countertop,
it could break, voiding the warranty.
IMPORTANT MAKE SURE the unit is supported by the leveling legs
and NOT by the cooktop itself. The cooktop glass must sit above the surface of the
countertops.

connecting the power
STEP 1. MEETING ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
CAUTION For personal safety, do not use an extension cord
with this appliance. Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before
beginning installation.
This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage
and frequency, and be 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 drawer on the oven frame. (Fig. 1 or
Fig. 2)
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
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Eective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new
construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric
range.
When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 2 and 3
for a 4-wire connection.
You must use a 3-wire or 4-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt,
60 hertz electrical system.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be
provided with ring terminals on the wire and a strain relief device.
(Fig. 1)
(Fig. 2)

Manual Install_NE58H9970WS_AA_AC_DG68-00594A-00_EN.indd 8 15/05/2014 10:13:39

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50
amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with
nominal 13⁄8” diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the
cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the
cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a flexible
service conduit or cord must be used.
NOTE If conduit is being used, go to Step 4 on page 12.
ALL NEW BRANCH-CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES,
RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL
CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL,
REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.
STEP 2. ACCESSING THE POWER CORD CONNECTION
Loosen and then remove the rear access cover screw with a screwdriver. Remove
the rear access cover by lifting it up and then out. The terminal block will then be
accessible.

STEP 3. INSTALLING THE POWER CORD
For power cord installations, hook the strain relief over the power cord hole (13/8”)
located below the rear of the drawer body. Insert the power cord through the strain
relief and tighten the device.

• You must install the power cord with a strain relief.
• Attach the strain relief to the 13/8” opening in the conduit connection plate.
Installing a 3-wire power cord
WARNING
WARNING The neutral or ground 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.
1. Remove the 3 lower terminal screws
from the terminal block.
2. Insert the 3 terminal screws through
each power cord terminal ring and into
the lower terminals of the terminal block.
Be certain that the center wire (white/
neutral) is connected to the center lower
position of the terminal block.
3. Tighten screws securely to the terminal
block. DO NOT remove the ground
strap connection.
4. Go to Step 5 on page 15 to continue
with the installation.
