Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation
I
clearances specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The
model/serial/rating plate is located behind the oven door
on the top left-hand side of the oven frame.
The range should be located for convenient use in the
I
kitchen.
Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure
I
of the sides and rear of the range.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over the
I
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above
the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage
is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood or microwave hood combination that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed
I
must be sealed.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
I
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
The anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-tip
I
bracket shipped with the range, see "Install Anti-Tip Bracket"
section.
Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical
I
Requirements" section.
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See "Gas
I
Supply Requirements" section.
Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the
I
floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
Use an insulated pad or ¼" (0.64 cm) plywood under range
I
if installing range over carpeting.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with
your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials
used will not discolor, delaminate, or sustain other damage. This
oven has been designed in accordance with the requirements
of UL and CSA International and complies with the maximum
allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F (90°C).
