− Discoloration, delamination or melting may
occur.

WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install range.
(Excessive Weight Hazard)
– Failure to do so can result in back injury or other
injury.
• Do not use the oven handles to push, pull, or move
the range.
− Doing so can result in serious damage to the door
of the range.
CAUTION
• Avoid installing cabinets directly over the range.
• If cabinets are installed over the range, install a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
− Doing so will reduce the risk of burns or fire
caused by reaching above the heated surface
elements.
