Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The
model/serial rating plate is located on the frame behind a top
corner of the door or either side of the drawer.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
The anti-tip bracket must be installed. To install the anti-tip
bracket shipped with the range, see "Install Anti-Tip Bracket"
section.
Grounded electrical supply is required. See the appropriate
"Electrical Requirements" section.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used
will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage. This oven
has been designed in accordance with the requirements of UL
and CSA International and complies with the maximum allowable
wood cabinet temperatures of 194° (90°C).
