NOTE: Clearance
specified to combustible
construc-
tion (walls and materials) are based on a temperature
rise of wood structures resulting from appliance opera-
tion. These clearances
are suitable for walls of stud-
ding, lath and plaster, or other types of combustible
materials which have a density of 20 pounds per cubic
foot or more. No evaluation of the clearances
required
has been made for installations
adjacent to low densi-
ty cellulose,
fiber board and similar materials which
have a density of less than 20 pounds per cubic foot;
nor to plastic tiles or sheeting.
ANY OPENINGS IN THE WALL BEHIND THE RANGE
OR FLOOR UNDER THE RANGE MUST BE SEALED.
WARNING:
Reaching over heated surface burners causes risk of
being burned. To reduce risk, installation of cabinet
storage above surface units should be avoided.
If cabinets are already provided, reduce hazard by in-
stalling a range hood. Hood should project horizontal-
ly beyond bottom of cabinets by a minimum of 5 inches.
A= Height for range with eye-level oven
plus vent hood: 72" min.
B = Height for range with eye-level oven

The back and sides of this range may be
installed with zero clearance. Vertical walls
extending
above the cooktop must have a
minimum horizontal clearance of 6 inches
from the side edges of the cook top.
Overhead cabinets should be a maximum
of 13 inches deep.
It is the responsibility
of the installer
to
comply
with
the installation
clearance
specified on the rating plate attached to the

front of oven frame must extend at least
l/2"
beyond surface of cabinets.

left
or right to the wall receptacle
to avoid

material
from the oven cavity.
When unpacking
the unit, check for damage such as
misaligned
door, damaged gaskets around the door,
or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is
any damage, please do not operate the unit until it has
been checked by an authorized
Whirlpool trained ser-
vice technician.
