REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS

Failure to remove packaging materials could result in damage to the appliance. Remove all packing parts from oven, racks, and heating elements. Remove protective film and labels on the outer door and control panel. Also remove plastic on trims and panel and all tape around the oven. Open oven door and remove literature pack and oven racks. Remove the bottom trim from the side of the oven. It will be installed at the end of the installation process. The trim is wrapped separately in a plastic bag which will also contain the 4 screws to secure the bottom trim and the 2 shoulder screws used to secure the product to the cabinet.

PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)

NOTE: Drop-In Ranges are designed to hang from the countertop only. Do not install on a platform or sup port rails. Allow 30” minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet. Allow a 24” minimum when bottom of wood or metal is protected by no less than 1/4” thick flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No 28 MSG sheet metal (.015”), .015” thick stainless steel, .024” aluminum or .020” copper. The Standard Installation of this Drop-In Range is to hang by the countertop on the side metal flang es under glass cooktop. This Range must not be installed on a base or sub structure (2”x 4” support).
If the construction of your cabinet cannot provide a 1/4” flat area at the back of the countertop opening, consider changing the countertop to accommodate this dimension. If the area is not flat, excess tension may be applied to the glass cooktop, causing breakage and voiding the warranty.

• Countertop thickness 1-1/4” min. is required to support the product. Braces must be installed between the underside of the countertop and the cabinet if required to obtain 1-1/4” minimum thickness (each side).
• Make sure the wall coverings, counters and cabinets around the oven can withstand the heat (up to 200° F (93.3° C) generated by the oven.
• This appliance has been approved for 0” spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However, a 6” minimum spacing to surfaces less than 15” above the cooktop and adjacent cabinet is recommended to reduce exposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.
• Locate the wiring junction box at the rear of the cutout. The dimension from the top of the wiring junction box to the countertop must be a minimum of 28-1/2”. The box must not extend more than 3” off the plane of the wall. The junction box must be located where it will allow considerable slack in the range conduit, so that the range can be pulled out for service if necessary.

WHEN INSTALLING RANGE IN COUNTERTOP CUT OUT TO WALL

WARNING
An additional anti-tip bracket support must be mounted to the rear wall of the cutout. The anti-tip bracket support is typically a 2×4 piece of lumber screwed directly into the wall studs. The anti-tip bracket support must be able to withstand 200 lbs of force at the engagement point.

REMOVE OVEN DOOR

Door removal is not a requirement for installation of the product but is an added convenience. To remove the door:

1. Open the oven door as far as it will go.

2. Push both hinge locks toward the door frame to the unlocked position. This may require a flat blade screwdriver.

3. Place hands on both sides of the door, and close the door to the removal position. This is half way between the broil stop and fully closed.

4. Lift the door up and out until the hinge arms clear the slots.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard

• This appliance must be properly grounded.
• Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can result in an electrical or fire hazard. If residence leads are aluminum, use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure closely. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of the appliance connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the appliance.You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 Hertz electrical system.
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction, a mobile home, recreational vehicle or area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, refer to the section on four-conductor branch circuit connections.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing code could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your oven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association.
Rating plate is located on oven front frame and is visible when oven door is open.
This appliance must supplied be with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. The conduit strain relief clamp must be securely attached to the junction box and the flexible conduit must securely attached to the clamp. If the flexible conduit will not fit within the clamp, do not install the oven until a clamp of the proper size is obtained.
The 3 power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge household wiring. The insulation of these 3 leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.
MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Place the unit on a platform or table even with the cutout opening. The platform must support 200 lbs. (91 kg). Connect the flexible conduit to the electrical junction box as follows:
THREE-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in section 5A, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a three-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:

1. Connect the oven ground conductor along with the neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray in color), using a wire nut.

2. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead, and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance with local codes, using wire nuts.

3. Install proper strain relief clamp.

4. Install junction box cover.

FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION
NOTE: If residence leads or ground are aluminum conductors, see WARNING in section 5A, Electrical Requirements.
When connecting to a four-conductor branch circuit, if local codes permit:

1. Free the neutral (white) lead from being restrained to any other wires. If necessary, cut the neutral (white) lead and then re-strip it to expose the proper length of conductor.

2. Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare copper) in accordance with local codes.

3. Connect the oven neutral (white) lead to the branch circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local codes, using a wire nut.

4. Connect the oven red lead to the branch circuit red lead and the oven black lead to the branch circuit black lead in ac cordance with local codes, using wire nuts.

5. Install proper strain relief clamp.

6.  Install junction box cover.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE INSTALLATION

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be properly secured to the countertop or rear wall using the anti-tip suppport. (See section 3 for details.)
• Weight on the door could potentially cause the range to tip and result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand, or hang on the oven door.

Installing the Anti-Tip Bracket

The anti-tip bracket is attached to the back of the DropIn Range. It is designed to fit under the bottom of the countertop opening at the rear. Measure counter thickness at back of cutout to determine correct bracket location.
Select the proper position for the countertop thickness and move bracket to proper position. (Unit is sup plied with brack et in po si tion 1.)

1. For 1.18” (3 cm) Counter
2. For 1.5” Counter
3. For 3.5” Counter
4. Alternate (shown)

INSTALL THE RANGE

INSTALL STOP SCREW
These screws prevent the range from sliding out of position during operation.

1. Carefully mark the cabinet for the location of the stop screws.
2. Drill 1/8” pilot holes into cabinet, on each side of the range. (Do not drill entirely through the cabinet wall.)
3. Carefully turn the shoulder screws into the pilot holes until they are tight.

PLACING RANGE INTO THE OPENING

1. It is recommended that two people lift the range into place, carefully setting the side metal flanges under the glass on the edges of the countertop opening.
2. Carefully slide the range toward the back of the opening. Stop pushing the range when there is till a 4” gap at the front before flushing the range with the counter.

REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE CHANNELS (if provided)
Carefully remove the protective channels from the sides of the  glass cooktop. This may require a slight lifting of the range toremove the weight of the range from the protective channels. CHECK ANTI-TIP BRACKET
With the range still sitting out from the counter-top, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the rear of the range, and slide the range back so that the anti-tip bracket slides just under the countertop or wood block attached to the rear wall.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. ATTACH THE LOWER TRIM
Attach the lower trim (supplied separately with the range) to the bottom of the vertical side trim with the 4 screws supplied. LOCATING THE STOP SCREW
Carefully slide the range towards the back of the opening. When the range is approximately 1” from the back of the opening, lift the front of the range approximately ½” to clear the stop screw located in the sides of the cabinet. Slide the range until it is seated into the opening. Lower the front of the range onto the counter-top.
CHECK FOR PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE STOP SCREW
Look at both sides of the range under the door. The stop screws must be located in the notch on the sides of the range, and not touch the top of the notch when the range is fully seated on the countertop. If the screws do not meet the requirements, move the screws to a position that meets these requirements. (See illustration.)

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.
• Be sure power is in service to the building.
• Check that all packing material and tape have been removed. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.
• Remove all items from inside the oven.
• Confirm that anti-tip device has been properly installed (see Section 6).
• Check that the bottom trim is installed properly (see Section 7).

OPERATION CHECKLIST

• Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiring connections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.
• Check that the Clock display is energized. If a series of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the range wiring connections. If change is made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock be changed if the red lines appear.
• Turn on the power to your oven(refer to Owner’s manual). Verify that the bake and broil operate properly.
• See your owner’s manual for trouble shooting list.
• Be sure all of the oven controls are OFF before leaving the oven.
