Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heaw 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.
