1. Install Ventilation
Siemens strongly recommends the installation of a
ventilation hood above this range. For most kitchens a
certified hood rating of not less than 300 CFM is
recommended. The range hood must be installed
according to instructions furnished with the hood.
2. Prepare Cabinets
This unit is designed for installation near adjacent
walls and projecting surfaces constructed of
combustible materials.
Allow a minimum of 30 inches between overhead
cabinets where range is to be installed (See Figure 1).
Required Clearances*
From cooktop to materials above (See Figure 1)
There must be a minimum clearance of 30 inches
between the top of the cooking surface and the
bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
24 inches is acceptable when the bottom of the wood
or metal cabinet is protected by (a) not less than1/4"
of flame retardant material which must be covered
with (b) not less than No. 28 MSG sheet metal, 0.015
inch stainless steel’ or 0.024 inch aluminum or copper.
From range walls to adjacent materials (See Fig.1)
No clearance is required from unit walls to adjacent
vertical combustible walls on rear, right or left.
Clearance from range top to adjacent vertical walls
must be at least 4”.
NOTE: Some cabinet finishes cannot survive the
temperatures allowed by U.L., particularly self-
cleaning ovens; the cabinets may discolor or stain.
This is most noticeable with laminated cabinets.
3. Prepare Gas Supply Line and
Electrical Outlet
The gas supply line and electrical outlet must be
located in the shaded space in Figure 2.
4. Prepare Walls and Floor and
Install Anti-Tip Bracket
1. Seal any holes in the walls or floor.
2. Adjust height of range and level by rotating the
adjustable leg supports on the bottom of the
range, using 1-1/4" wrench.
3. Measure to locate bracket position as shown in
Figure 3.
4. Secure bracket with 2 screws adequate for
mounting surface, not included. (i.e.; for wood
floor use wood screws for concrete floor use
concrete anchors and screws).
*Instructions were determined using Standard American cabinets. Standard base cabinets measure 36" high x 24" deep . Cabinets
over the cooking surface and cabinets adjacent to those over the cooking surface measure 13 inches deep from backwall. If
nonstandard cabinets are used, care should be taken to alter dimensions accordingly.
