Dacor RNRP36G Installation Instructions - Page 7

Planning the Installation Cabinet Layout • All maximum and minimum dimensions and clearances shown in the diagrams below must be maintained for safe operation. • Check the location where the range is to be installed. It should be placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors, windows and heating and air conditioning outlets. • To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury from reaching over a hot appliance, avoid cabinet installations directly above the range. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets. • The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. Dacor strongly recommends installing a non-combustible material on the rear wall above the range and up to the vent hood or installation of a backguard. It is not necessary to install noncombustible materials behind the range below the countertop height. Any openings in the wall behind the appliance or in the floor underneath it must be sealed. Range Model RNRP36G RNRP48G CUTOUT DIMENSIONS F G 42" (106.7 cm)* 36" 36" (91.4 cm)** (91.4 cm)** 54" (137.2 cm)* 48" 48" (121.9 cm)** (121.9 cm)** * Recommended ** Minimum H 33 1/2" (84.8 cm) 43 1/2" (110.2 cm) Gas and Electrical Service • The shaded area shown below denotes the location of the gas inlet and the electrical outlet. This is the recommended location. For replacement purposes, the location of the existing utilities may be utilized provided they do not interfere with the sides or rear of the range. Check local building codes for permissible gas valve locations. • An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between the gas inlet and the range for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance. The installation must allow for the following: • Access to the gas shut-off valve when the unit is installed. • Access to the electrical outlet, when the range is in place. • The gas supply piping and shut-off valve, and the electrical outlet must be located so they do not interfere with the range when it is installed. • The electrical outlet and gas shut off valve must be located so that the range can be pulled out for service while the appliance remains connected.
