clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located behind the storage drawer
on the right-hand side of the oven frame.
• The range should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.

the sides and rear of the range.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated

or microwave hood combination that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

must be sealed.
