Cabinet Dimensions Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm) countertop depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and 36" (91.4 cm) countertop height. If the cabinet depth is greater than 24" (61.0 cm), the oven frame must extend beyond cabinet fronts by ½" (13.0 mm) minimum. 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 above the cooktop surface. B C F D A E G G H A. 18" (45.7 cm) min. clearance upper side cabinet to countertop B. 13" (33.0 cm) max. upper cabinet depth C. 20" (50.8 cm) min. cabinet opening width D. 20¹⁄₈" (51.1 cm) opening width E. 5" (12.7 cm) min. countertop space to side wall or other combustible material F.

NOTE: 24" (61.0 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is covered by not less than ¼" (0.64 cm) flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015" (0.4 mm) stainless steel, 0.024" (0.6 mm) aluminum or 0.020" (0.5 mm) copper. 30" (76.2 cm) minimum clearance between the top of the cooking platform and the bottom of an uncovered wood or metal cabinet. Electrical Requirements If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate and wire gauge is in accordance with local codes. Do not use an extension cord. Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70-latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269 WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the power supply cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 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 number rating plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located under the front left burner bowl. Refer to the figure 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 50amp power supply cord (pigtail) (see Range Rating chart below). 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. Range Rating* 120/240 Volts 8.0 - 16.5 KW 16.6 - 22.5 KW 120/208 Volts 6.0 - 12.5 KW 12.6 - 18.5 KW Specified Rating of Power Supply Cord Kit and Circuit Protection Amps 40 or 50** 50 *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" (34.93 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 "Electrical Connection." ■ Allow 2 to 3 ft (61.0 cm to 91.4 cm) of slack in the line so that the range can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. ■ A UL listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range and at the junction box). ■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of the range (40 amps). ■ The wiring diagram is located on the underside of the storage drawer or below the warming drawer in a clear plastic bag. 4
