Remove all packingparts from oven, racks, heating elements and drawer. Also, remove protective filmand labels on the door, cooktop (do not remove side protection on glass cooktops)and backguard. Do not remove protective ehannel from sides of glass eooktop, if applicable,until later in installation.[_] PREPARE THE OPENING (FOR INDOOR USE ONLY)If the countertop area is not flat, excesstension may be applied to the glass cooktop causing breakageand voiding the warranty. Make sure the wall covering,countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range canwithstand the heat (up to 200°F)generated by the range.A.Allow 30" minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal cabinet,or allow a 24" minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by no lessthen 1/4" thick flameretardant millboard covered with no lessthan No. 28 MSGsheet metal (.015"thick), .015" thick stainless steel,.025" aluminum or .020" copper.B.This appliance has been approved for 0" spacing to adjacent surfaces above the cooktop. However,a minimum6" spacing to surfaces lessthan 15" above the cooktop and adjacent cabinetry is recommended to reduceexposure to steam, grease splatter and heat.Allow 1/4" minimum clearance at the back wall.To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements,cabinet storage space above thecooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk canbe reducedby installing a range hood that projects at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets.

After installation, have the electrician show you how to disconnect power from the range.You must use a single-phase, 120/208 VAC or 120/240 VAC, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connectto aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must beused.Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing)utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range• When installing an electric range in newconstruction, mobile home, recreational vehicle, or an area where local codes prohibit groundingthrough 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 ovenaccording to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition• If there are no local codes, youroven must be wired and fused to meet the National Electric@ Code, NFPA No. 70 - latest edition,available from the National Fire Protection Association•This appliance must be supplied with proper voltage and frequency and connected to an individual,properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breakeror time-delay fuse.Use only a 3-conductor or a/4-conductor UL-listed range cord.These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire anda strain relief device•A range cord rated at/40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt rangeis required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended, but if used,it should be marked for use with nominal lYd' diameter connectionopenings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain reliefwithin the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the eable.The rating plate is located on the oven frame or on the sideof the drawer frame•Ratingplatez _ J,,Ratingplate161 POWER CORD ANDCONDUIT INSTALLATIONA.

For power cord installations only (seethe next step ifusing conduit), assemble the strain reliefin the hole. Insert the power cord through the strainrelief and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attachthe cord terminals ta the terminal black.If tabs are present at the end af the wingedstrain relief, they can be removed far a better fit.NOTE:Do not install the power cord without a strainrelief. The strain relief bracket MUSTbe installedbefore reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.Strain reliefSqueeze connectorD. For conduit installations only, purchase a squeezeconnector matching the diameter of your conduit andassemble it in the hole. Insert the conduit through thesqueeze connector and tighten.

Seeinstallation instructionsshipped with the bracket farcomplete details beforeattempting ta install.To check if the bracketis installed and engagedproperly, look underneaththe range to see that the rearleveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removedfor easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracketis securely attached to the floor or wall and slide the range back so the leveling leg is under the anti-tipbracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the rangeis properly secured by the anti-tip bracket. Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will notbe secured to the anti-tip bracket._ SLIDE RANGE INTO OPENINGA. Position the range in front of the cabinet opening. Hake sure thatthe glass that overhangs the countertop clears the countertop.If necessary, raise the unit by lowering the leveling legs•B. Push while lifting the range into the opening, until the rangeis within 2" of engaging the anti-tip bracket• Remove the protective trimfrom the side of glass (if provided)•C. Using the adjustable pliers or wrench, carefully screwin the back leveling leg until the glass overhang comes_ Countertop@to rest on the countertop. Then carefully screw in Make sure edge of countertop fits flushthe front two leveling legs until the glass overhang touches against the end of Front Control Panelthe countertop.D. Carefully push the range into the opening untilthe countertop fully engages the control panel.The back glass overhang should cover the cutoutopening. Plug the range cord into the receptacle•Locate the cord in the back of the range in a mannerthat it will not touch or be moved by the drawer•Position range cord so thatthere is no interference withthe storage drawerF_ REPLACING THE OVEN DOORNOTE: The oven door is heavy. You may need help lifting the door high enoughto slide it into the hinge slots. Do not lift the door by the handle.A Lift the oven door by placing one hand on each side. The door is heavy,so you may need help. Do not lift the door by the handle.B. With the door at the same angle as the removal position (approximately1"-2" from the closed position), seat the notch of the hinge arm intothe bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch of the hinge arm mustbe fully seated into the bottom of the slot•C. Fully open the door.

This will include tape on metalpanel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic.Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has beenturned on and surfaces have heated., Check that the door and drawer are parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly.If they do not, see the Owner's Manual for proper replacement.Check to make sure that the rear leveling leg is fully inserted into the anti-tip bracketand that the bracket is securely installed.OPERATION CHECKLIST, Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds. Turn the unitoff when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time limit, recheck the range wiringconnections. If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked forproper connections and voltage.Check that the oven control operates properly. If the oven control does not operate properly,recheck the wiring connections.. Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving the range.31-10836 I _-_ GE
