Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for:
25" (63.5 cm) countertop depth,
24" (61 cm) base cabinet depth,
36" (91.4 cm) countertop height
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the range, follow the range hood or microwave
hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances

Electrical Connection:
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
● Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and
frequency as specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located behind the control panel. Refer
to the figures in “Product Dimensions” in the “Location
Requirements” section.
● This range is manufactured with the neutral terminal connected to
the cabinet. Use a 3-wire, UL listed, 40- or 50- amp power supply
cord (pigtail) (see the following Range Rating chart). If local codes
do not permit ground through the neutral, use a 4-wire power
supply cord rated at 250 volts, 40- or 50-amps and investigated
for use with ranges.

**The NEC calculated load is less than the total connected load
listed on the model/serial rating plate.
**If connecting to a 50-amp circuit, use a 50-amp rated cord with
kit. For 50-amp rated cord kits, use kits that specify use with a
nominal 1³⁄₈" (34.9 mm) diameter connection opening.
● A circuit breaker is recommended.
● The range can be connected directly to the circuit breaker box (or
fused disconnect) through flexible or nonmetallic sheathed,
copper or aluminum cable. See the “Electrical Connection - U.S.A.
Only” section.
*Range can be raised approximately 1" (2.5 cm) by adjusting
the leveling legs.
**Model/serial/rating plates may be rotated up from behind the
control panel for viewing from the front of the range.
