vinyl or cazpefing. Use care when moving the range
on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the

followed to promct your tool
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the flont of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood m the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow file zvmge m be moved for cleaning
or sezMcing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°E (See the Installation
Safetylnstructions
section.)
Make sure die wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up m 200°F) by the zvmge.
