2 PREPARE THE OPENING
• Allow 2" spacing from the range to adjacent vertical
walls above the cooktop surface. Allow 30" minimum
clearance between the surface units and the bottom of
unprotected wood or metal top cabinet, and 18" mini-
mum between the countertop and the adjacent cabinet
bottom.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire when reaching over
hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to
be provided above cooktop, the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that protrudes at least 5" beyond
the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a
cooktop may be no deeper than 13".

Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring, it should
be installed on a 1/4" thick sheet of plywood (or similar
material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the
area that the range will rest on should be built up with ply-
wood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or ser-
vicing.
