DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal
injury or death; verify your appliance has
been properly grounded in accordance
with local codes or in absence of codes, with the
National Electrical Code (NEC). ANSI/NFPA 70-latest
edition.
WARNING
MOVING HAZARD
To avoid risk of severe personal injury;
this appliance requires two or more
personnel while handling and moving.
Possible use of appliance moving devices is
recommended.
WARNING
TIPPING HAZARD
To reduce the risk of the appliance
tipping, it must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip bracket(s). To make sure
the bracket has been installed properly,
look behind the range with a flashlight
to verify proper installation engaged in
the rear top left corner of the range.
• This range can tip.
• Injuries to persons can result.
• Install anti-tip device packed with range.
• See installation instructions.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet
finishes, use only materials and finishes that will not
discolor or delaminate and will withstand
temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat resistant
adhesive must be used if the product is to be
installed in laminated cabinetry. Check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the
materials meet these requirements.

CAUTION
Burn hazard.
To avoid risk of personal injury; the use of
cabinets for storage above the appliance
may result in a potential burn hazard.
Combustible items may ignite, metallic items may
become hot and cause burns. If a cabinet storage is to
be provided the risk can be reduced by installing a
rangehood that projects horizontally a minimum 5”
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of cabinets.
• This range may be installed directly adjacent to
existing 36” (91.4 cm) high base cabinets.
IMPORTANT: The side trim MUST be 3/8” (.95 cm)
above the adjacent base cabinet countertop. This can
be accomplished by raising the unit using the
adjustment spindles on the legs.
• The range CANNOT be installed directly adjacent to
sidewalls, tall cabinets, tall appliances, or other side
vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm) high. There must
be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance from the
range to such combustible surfaces above the 36” (91.4
cm) counter height.
• Within the 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance to combustible
vertical surfaces above 36” (91.4 cm), the maximum
wall cabinet depth must be 13” (33.0 cm) and wall
cabinets within this 6” (15.2 cm) side clearance must be
18” (45.7 cm) above the 36” (91.4 cm) high countertop.
• Wall cabinets above the range must be a minimum of
42” (106.7 cm) above the range cooking surface for the
full width of the range. This minimum requirement
does not apply if a range hood is installed over the
cooking surface.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to cabinets and cabinet
finishes, use only materials and finishes that will not
discolor or delaminate and will withstand
temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). Heat and moisture
resistant adhesive must be used if the product is to
be installed in laminated cabinetry. Check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the
materials meet these requirements.
Note: Minimum clearance for back wall is 0” with backguard or high-
shelf.
Note: If a range hood is installed, wall cabinets above the range have
a different minimum clearance height.
Clearance Dimensions (Proximity to Cabinets)

The bottom of a standard hood should be 30” (76.2 cm)
min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max. above the countertop. This
would typically result in the bottom of the hood being
66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the floor. Refer to
the range hood installation instructions for additional
information. These dimensions provide for safe and
efficient operation of the hood.

WARNING
Electrical shock hazard.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock,
personal injury or death; verify
electrical power is turned off at the
breaker box until the range is installed and ready
to operate, installation by an authorized installer
only.
If the use of a GFI is required, it should be:
• Of the receptacle type (breaker type or
portable type NOT recommended)
• Used with permanent wiring only (temporary or
portable wiring NOT recommended)
• On a dedicated circuit (no other receptacles,
switches or loads in the circuit)
• Connected to a standard breaker of appropriate size
(GFI breaker of the same size NOT recommended)
• Rated for Class A (5 mA +/- 1 mA trip current) as per
UL 943 standard
• In good condition and free from any loose-fitting
gaskets (if applicable in outdoor situations)
• Protected from moisture (water, steam, high
humidity) as much as reasonably possible
Electrical Requirements
This product is manufactured with the neutral terminal
connected to the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, agency
approved, power supply kit with closed loop terminals
rated per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-
latest edition (See Rating chart below). If local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral, use a 4-wire,
agency approved, power supply kit with closed loop
terminals rated per the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition (See Rating chart below).

*The National Electric Code calculation for Electrical
Load is less than the Total Connected Electrical Load
listed on the model/serial rating plate.
A GFI shall be used if required by NFPA-70 (National
Electric Code), federal/state/local laws, or local
ordinances.
• The required use of a GFI is normally related to the
location of a receptacle with respect to any
significant sources of water or moisture.

Performance Checklist
A qualified installer should carry out the following
checks:
□ Check top surface elements—glow red when turned
on. (VER models)
□ Check top surface elements (VIR models)
1. Starting with the left front element, turn the
corresponding knob ot hte HI position. Left front
indicator should flash.
2. Place an induction compatible piece of cookware
on the left front element. Left front indicator
should be solid.
3. Remove cookware and repeat steps fro other
elements.
□ Check hot surface indicator lights—glow red when
corresponding element is on.
□ Check oven bake function—bake element on full
power, center and outside broil elements at partial
power.
□ Convection bake function—bake and broil
elements the same with the convection fan on.
□ Check TruConvec™ function—TruConvec element
(behind convection fan cover) on and convection
fan on.
□Check HI broil function–both broil elements at
full power.
□ Check LOW broil function—inner broil element
only.
□ Check convection broil function—both
broil elements at full power with convection fan
on.
□ Check self-clean function—door will lock
in approximately 30 seconds, the center and
outside broil elements will turn on and the bake
element will turn on at partial power. Check broil
elements through window to make sure they are
on, then abort self-clean cycle to unlock door.
NOTICE
When conducting performance test, do not run self-clean cycle
for more than 10 minutes with oven racks inside oven. This could
cause them to discolor due to the high temperature required for
self-cleaning.

• All stainless steel body parts should be wiped with hot, soapy water and with a liquid cleaner designed for
this material. If buildup occurs, DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders!
• If it is necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak with hot, wet cloths to loosen
the material, then use a wool or nylon scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other material tool to
scrape stainless steel! Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
