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
■
clearances specified on the rating number plate. The rating
number plate is located behind the control panel.
The range should be located for convenient use in the
■
kitchen.
Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of
■
the sides and rear of the range.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over 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
■
must be sealed.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
■
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
The floor anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the
■
anti-tip bracket shipped with the range, see "Install Anti-Tip
Bracket" section.
Grounded electrical supply is required. See "Electrical
■
Requirements" section.
Proper gas supply connection must be available. See "Gas
■
Supply Requirements" section.
Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the
■
floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
Use an insulated pad or 1/4" (0.64 cm) plywood under range
■
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
