Allow 1½" spacing from the range to adjacent
vertical walls above the cooktop surface.

surface units and the bottom of unprotected
wood or metal top cabinet, and 15" minimum
between the countertop and adjacent cabinet
bottom.

cabinets around the range can withstand heat

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 plywood to the same
level or higher than the floor covering. This will
allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing.
