Planning the Installation
Cabinet Layout
Carefully check the location where the range is to be
•
installed. For best performance, the range should be placed
away from drafts that may be caused by doors, windows and
heating and air conditioning outlets.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and to reduce
•
accumulated smoke in the room, Dacor strongly recommends
installing a range hood. A range hood should project
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the face of the
cabinets.
All maximum and minimum dimensions and clearances
•
shown in the diagrams below must be maintained for safe
operation.
The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. Dacor
•
strongly recommends installing a non-combustible material
on the rear wall above the range and up to the vent hood or
installation of a backguard. It is not necessary to install non-
combustible materials behind the range below the countertop
height.
Any openings in the wall behind the appliance or in the floor
•
underneath it must be sealed.
Gas and Electrical Service
The shaded area shown denotes the location of the gas
•
inlet and the electrical junction box/receptacle. This is the
recommended location. For replacement purposes, the
location of the existing utilities may be utilized provided they
do not interfere with the sides or rear of the range. Check
local building codes for permissible gas valve locations.
An external manual shut-off valve must be installed between
•
the gas inlet and the range, for the purpose of turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
The installation must allow for the following:
Access to the gas shut-off valve when the unit is installed.
•
Access to the remote circuit breaker panel/fuse box, when the
•
range is in place.
The gas supply piping and shut-off valve, and the electrical
•
junction box/receptacle must be located so they do not
interfere with the range when it is installed.
The junction box and gas shut off valve must be located
•
so that the range can be pulled out for service while the
appliance remains connected.
