Mobile Home - Additional Installation Requirements
Cabinet Dimensions
The installation of this range must conform to the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280
(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD Part 280). When such standard is not
applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations,
ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A or with local codes.
Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64 cm)
countertop depth, 24" (61 cm) base cabinet depth and
36" (91.4 cm) countertop height.
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the range, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
Mobile home installations require:
■
When this range is installed in a mobile home, it must be
secured to the floor during transit. Any method of securing
the range is adequate as long as it conforms to the standards
listed above.
■
Four-wire cable must be used in a mobile home installation.
The appliance wiring will need to be revised. See “Electrical

A circuit breaker is recommended.
Electrical Requirements
Flexible conduit from appliance should be connected directly
to the junction box.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
■
■
■
Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the range.
A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
range is properly grounded.
If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
This range must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system.
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the ends of the
flexible conduit leads.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-latest edition, and
all local codes and ordinances.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

Countertop Preparation
CSA International
8501 East Pleasant Valley Road
Cleveland, OH 44131-5575
The cooktop sides of the drop-in range fit over the cutout edge of
your countertop.
If you have a square finish (flat) countertop and the opening width
is 30" (76.2 cm), no countertop preparation is required.
Electrical Connection
Formed front-edged countertops must have molded edge
shaved flat ³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) from each front corner of opening.
To properly install your range, you must determine the type of
electrical connection you will be using and follow the instructions
provided for it here.
Tile countertops may need trim cut back ³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) from each
front corner and/or rounded edge flattened.
■
Range must be connected to the proper electrical voltage
and frequency as specified on the model/serial number rating
plate. The model/serial number rating plate is located below
the electronic control on oven frame. See the following
illustration.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
4. Using 2 or more people, firmly grasp the range and gently lay
it on its back on the cardboard corners.
5. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.
6. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the leveling legs.
1. Remove shipping materials, tape and protective film from the
range. Keep cardboard bottom under range.
7. Place cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or
more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or
hardboard.

Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed
and engaged.
6. Using the Phillips screwdriver, mount anti-tip bracket to the
support slat or the wall support board, depending on the
chosen method of installation, with the two #12 x 1⁵⁄₈" screws
provided.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death
or serious burns to children and adults.
1. Remove the anti-tip bracket that is taped in the oven cavity.
2. Determine which mounting method to use: floor or wall.
Adjust Leveling Legs
1. If range height adjustment is necessary, use a wrench or
3. For wall mounting method only: Remove 30" (76.2 cm)
wide by 4" (10.2 cm) high section of sheetrock, with the
bottom of the area removed to be flush with the floor support
slats. (See “Cabinet Dimensions” illustration in the “Location
Requirements” section.) Securely attach a ³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) thick
piece of plywood to at least two wall studs in place of the
sheetrock. Plywood should span the width of the cabinet
opening and sit flush with the top edge of the floor support
slats.
pliers to loosen the 4 leveling legs.
This may be done with the range on its back or with the range
supported on 2 legs after the range has been placed back to
a standing position.
NOTE: To place range back up into a standing position, put a
sheet of cardboard or hardboard in front of range. Using 2 or
more people, stand range back up onto the cardboard or
hardboard.
4. Determine and mark centerline of the cutout space. The
mounting bracket can be installed on either the left side or
right side of the cutout. Position mounting bracket in cutout
so that right (or left) edge of the bracket is 13¾" (34.9 cm)
from centerline, as shown.
2. Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height. Leveling legs
can be loosened to add up to a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm). A
minimum of ³⁄₁₆" (5 mm) is needed to engage the anti-tip
bracket.
NOTE: If height adjustment is made when range is standing,
tilt the range back to adjust the front legs, then tilt forward to
adjust the rear legs.

3. When the range is at the correct height, check that there is
adequate clearance under the range for the anti-tip bracket.
Before sliding range into its final position, check that the anti-
tip bracket will slide under the range and onto the rear
leveling leg prior to anti-tip bracket installation.
