such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care
when moving the range on this type of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple and
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect
uour floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of pluwood
(or similar material).When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with pluwood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also,make sure your floor covering
will withstand 180°E (Seethe Installation Safety
Instructions section.)
Make sure the wail coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)bu the
