IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

,_ WARNING: For personal safetyremove house fuse or open circuitbreaker before beginning

installation. Failure to do so could result in

serious injury or even death.

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be metfor safe use of your range. Electricity to the rangecan be disconnected at the outlet without movingthe range if the outlet is in the preferred location(remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reachingover hot surface elements, cabinet storage spaceabove the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinetstorage space is to be provided above thecooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing arange hood that sticks out at least 5" beyond thefront of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a

cooktop must be no deeper than 13".

Be sure your appliance is properly installed andgrounded by a qualified technician.

_1_ WARNING: To reduce the risk oftipping, the appliance must be

secured by properly installing theanti-tip bracket packed with the appliance.

See Installation Instructions

If you pull the range out and away from the wallfor any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracketis engaged when the range is pushed backagainst the wall.

Electrical RequirementsThis appliance must be supplied with the propervoltage and frequency, and connected to anindividual properly grounded branch circuit,protected by a circuit breaker or fuse havingamperage as specified on the rating plate. Therating plate is located above the storage draweron the oven frame.

We recommend you have the electrical wiringand hookup of your range connected by aqualified electrician. After installation, have theelectrician show you where your main rangedisconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codeswhich apply in your area. Failure to wire youroven according to governing codes could result ina hazardous condition. If there are no local

codes, your range must be wired and fused tomeet the requirements of the National ElectricalCode, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You canget a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Battery March Park

Quincy, MA 02269Effective January 1, 1996, the National ElectricalCode requires that new, but not existing,construction utilize a 4 conductor connection to

an electric range. When installing an electricrange in new construction, follow the instructionsin the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION ANDFOUR CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUITCONNECTION.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electricalsystem. If you connect to aluminum wiring,properly installed connectors approved for usewith aluminum wiring must be used.

Backguard (Kit JXS36XX or JXS39SS).See page 12.

b. Counter height greater than 36 3/4":Lower Trim Slide-In (Kit JXS56XX).

¢. One side is not enclosed by a cabinet:Bodyside (Kit JXS76XX).

d. Island Installation:

To provide an optimum installation, thetop surface of the counter top must belevel and flat (lie on the same plane)around the 3 sides that are adjacent torange cooktop. Proper adjustments tomake the top flat should be made orgaps between the countertop and rangecook top may occur. Forcing the cooktop to fit may cause excessive gaps andcould break glass and void warranty.

Final Check List

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 to be sure that all packing materials and tape on metal panel (if applicable) undercontrol knobs and drawer have been removed.

Operation Check List

Check to make sure 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 ismade 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 linesappear.

Push down and turn any one of the four surface knobs to "MED" setting to observe that theelement glows within 15 seconds. Turn the knob 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.
