en-us Installing the range into the cabinets
16
1.
CAUTION-Risk of crushing! DO NOT attempt to
lift the unit by holding the oven's upper heating element.
Lift the range off of the packaging base. Reach inside
the top of the oven cavity to locate a ridged area near
the front of the oven.
2. Make sure that the circuit breaker is off and then plug
the range cord into the electrical outlet.
3. Dampen the countertop and floor at the bottom of the
opening with soapy water.
4. Slide the range into the opening. Be careful not to dam-
age countertops, floors, or warming drawer front. Do not
apply pressure to the cooktop when sliding the range
into position. Be careful not to crimp the flexible electri-
cal connector.

6. Check proper installation.
– The cooktop should rest lightly on the countertop.
– There should not be any gap between the countertop
and the cooktop; however, the weight of the range
must not rest on the countertop.
– Look under the range to verify that both back legs are
resting solidly on the floor.
– Also verify that the left range leg is retained by the
anti-tip bracket.
8.3 Avoid obstructing air flow
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire, do not obstruct the vent space at the
rear of the range top. Do not caulk or otherwise seal this
opening.
Proper vent spacing for the dual fuel or gas ranges is au-
tomatically achieved when the rear of the range is against
the wall. If the resulting gap is obstructed, even temporar-
ily, the range and/or the surrounding cabinetry could over-
heat, creating a fire hazard.
8.4 Reinstalling the oven door
1. Hold the door firmly in both hands. Grip it on either side,
not by the handle.
2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you at an angle that
would open the door about 7" (18cm) at the top.
3. Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will go
and lower the door straight down ⁠.
The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly
to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to
be lowered into place. The door should lower about
3/4" (2cm) and stop. If it does not, the hinges have not
engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.
4. Once both hinges are fully engaged, gently open the
door until it is fully open.
