INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have nished.
Positioning the Range
Fig. 7-1 shows the minimum recommended distances and
clearances from the range to nearby surfaces.
You MUST provide adequate clearances between the range
and adjacent combustible surfaces. These dimensions MUST
be met for safe use of your range.
The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see
Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be adjusted to
meet specic requirements.
A gap of at least 10” (25.4 cm) should be left between each
side of the range and any adjacent vertical surface (Fig. 7-1
dimension ‘A’).
A gap of 2” (5 cm) should be left ABOVE the cooktop level
and any adjacent vertical surface (Fig. 7-1 dimension ‘B’).
The cooktop surround should be level with, or above, any
adjacent work surface.
The maximum depth for cabinets installed above cooktops is
13’’ (33 cm).
See Fig. 7-2 for details of the minimum space required
above the cooktop to a horizontal surface. A = 30” (76.2 cm)
minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface
and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
A = 24” (61 cm) minimum when bottom of wood or metal
cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4” thick ame-
retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG
sheet steel, 0.015” thick stainless steel, 0.024” thick aluminum,
or 0.020” thick copper.
The depth of the range is 27 ½’’ (69.8 cm) overall (Fig. 7-3).
Any range hood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Any splashback must be tted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for the
additional height of the ue trim, which is tted to the cooker
hob.
For safety reasons curtains must not be sited immediately
behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 36” (91 cm) – 36 ½” (92.5 cm (for
Canada 37” (94 cm)) between cupboards to allow for moving
the range.
USA only: If a ush t is required, install the range up to the
cupboard at one side then install the cupboard the other side.
