30” ELECTRIC FRONT CONTROL FREESTANDING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Clearances and Dimensions

• Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
• Location—Check the location where the range will be installed. Check for proper electrical supply and the stability of the floor.
• Dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. The contact surface must be solid and level.

30″ (762 mm) MINIMUM CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE COOKING SURFACE AND THE BOTTOM OF AN UNPROTECTED WOOD OR METAL CABINET; OR 24″ (610 mm) MINIMUM WHEN BOTTOM OF WOOD OR METAL CABINET IS PROTECTED BY NOT LESS THAN 1/4″ (6 mm) 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. 0″ (0 mm) CLEARANCE IS THE MINIMUM FOR THE REAR OF THE RANGE. FOLLOW ALL DIMENSION REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED ABOVE TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE, POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, AND INCORRECT COUNTERTOP AND CABINET CUTS. TO ELIMINATE THE RISK OF BURNS OR FIRE BY REACHING OVER HEATED SURFACE UNITS, CABINET STORAGE SPACE LOCATED ABOVE THE SURFACE UNITS SHOULD BE AVOIDED. IF CABINET STORAGE IS TO BE PROVIDED, THE RISK CAN BE REDUCED BY INSTALLING A RANGE HOOD THAT PROJECTS HORIZONTALLY A MINIMUM OF 5″ (127 mm) BEYOND THE BOTTOM OF THE CABINETS.

Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Instructions

Important Safety Warning

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range should be secured to the floor by a properly installed anti-tip bracket and screws packed with the range. Failure to install the anti-tip bracket will allow the range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself. If the range is ever moved to a different location, the anti-tip brackets must also be moved and installed with the range. Instructions are provided for installation in wood or cement, fastened to either the floor or wall. When installed on the wall, make sure that the screws completely penetrate the drywall and are secured in wood or metal. When fastening to the floor or wall, be sure that screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

• Locate the Bracket Using the Template – (Bracket may be located on either the left or right side of the range. Use the information below to locate the bracket if the template is not available.) Mark the floor or wall where the left or right side of the range will be located. If the rear of the range is against the wall or no further than 1-1/4″ (32 mm) from the wall when installed, you may use the wall or floor mount method. If molding is installed and does not allow the bracket to fit flush against the wall, remove the molding or mount the bracket to the floor. For wall mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template against the rear wall and the side edge of the template on the mark made referencing the side of the range. Place a bracket on top of the template and mark the location of the screw holes in the wall. If the rear of the range is further than 1-1/4″ (32 mm) from the wall when installed, attach the bracket to the floor. For floor mount, locate the bracket by placing the back edge of the template where the rear of the range will be located. Mark the location of the screw holes, shown in the template.
• Drill Pilot Holes and Fasten Bracket – Drill a 1/8” (3 mm) pilot hole where screws are to be located. If the bracket is to be mounted to the wall, drill a pilot hole at an approximate 20° downward angle. If the bracket is to be mounted to masonry or ceramic floors, drill a 5/32” (4 mm) pilot hole 1-3/4” (44 mm) deep. The screws provided may be used in wood or concrete material. Use a 5/16” (8 mm) nutdriver or flat head screwdriver to secure the bracket in place.
• Level and Position Range – Level range by adjusting the (4) leveling legs with a wrench. Note: A minimum clearance of 1/8” (3 mm) is required between the bottom of the range and the leveling leg to allow room for the bracket. Use a spirit level to check your adjustments. Slide the range back into position. Visually check that the rear leveling leg is inserted into and fully secured by the Anti-Tip Bracket by removing the lower panel or storage drawer. For models with a warmer drawer or broiler compartment, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt to tilt it forward.

Electrical Connection Requirements

WARNING

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury, fire, or death.

Plug the range power cable (4 conductors) into a 4-conductor range outlet. Outlet must be properly grounded and in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA Standard (C22.1 Part 1 — latest edition) — and any local electrical code requirements. Locate outlet 6″ (152 mm) above the floor in the wall behind the range.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is the correct voltage, is correctly polarized, and properly grounded in accordance with local codes.

It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have the appropriate outlet with the correct, properly grounded wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Model and Serial Number Location

The serial plate is located on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame at the storage or warmer drawer, or the lower panel area. When ordering parts for or making inquiries about your range, always be sure to include the model and serial numbers and a lot number or letter from the serial plate on your range. Your serial plate also tells you the Kilowatt rating (power requirements) and Voltage ratings.

The serial plate is located on the lower right front frame of the appliance. The alternate location may be under the cooktop.

Install filler trim kit

Note: Installation of the filler trim kit is not required.

WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to the range before beginning installation. Before servicing any part of the appliance, make sure the appliance is off and the surfaces are cool. Attempting to service the appliance while hot may cause burns or other injury.

Filler Trim Attachment Instructions:

1. Remove the 7 screws on the vent trim on the back.
2. Place the filler trim over the back by lining up the 7 screw holes of the filler trim with the vent trim and tighten the screws.
3. When filler trim is secured, it will be flush with the top of the range.

Door Handle Mounting Instructions (some models)

1. Remove handles from carton and any other protective packaging.
2. Position handle end caps over left and right preinstalled shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened to the door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing down.
3. While holding the handle firmly against the door, loosely tighten the right Allen set screw (B) with the supplied Allen wrench until there is no gap between the handle and door.
4. Still holding the handle firmly to the door, firmly tighten the left Allen set screw (B) with the supplied Allen wrench.
5. Return to the right Allen set screw (B) and firmly tighten with the supplied Allen wrench.

NOTE

All set screws should be tightened so that the screw is below the surface of the handle. The handle should be drawn tight to the door with no gaps. The door handle may loosen over time or if it was installed improperly. If this happens, tighten the set screws on the handles.

Care, Cleaning, and Maintenance

Refer to the Use & Care Manual for cleaning instructions.

If removing the range is necessary for cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the electrical power supply. If the electrical supply is inaccessible, lift the unit slightly at the front and pull it out away from the wall. Pull only as far as necessary to disconnect the electrical supply. Finish removing the unit for servicing and cleaning. Reinstall in reverse order, making sure to level the range and check electrical connections. See pages 2 and 3 for proper anchoring instructions.

WARNING: Some models have a cool-air intake vent on the rear of the appliance. Do not block or obstruct this vent.
