4.6 Removal and Replacement of Back-Accessible
Components
This section contains removal and replacement procedures for the
components that can be accessed from the back of the range.
NOTE: Before and after servicing the range from the back side, refer
to the Installation Manual for instructions on moving the appliance,
installing the anti-tip bracket, and other important installation and
safety information.
Moving the Range
For servicing that requires access from the back of the range, it may
be necessary to move the range. Due to the immense weight of the
range, using an air sled or dolly to move it may reduce the risk of
injury and/or damage. For 48-inch ranges, it is recommended to have
more than one person move the appliance.
