Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do
not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
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 oven frame behind
the storage drawer panel.
The range should be located for convenient use in the
kitchen.
Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of
the sides and rear of the range.
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.
All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed
must be sealed.
Do not seal the range to the side cabinets.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
The floor 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 "Electrical
Requirements" section. Proper gas supply connection must
be available. See "Gas Supply Requirements" section.
Contact a qualified floor covering installer to check that the
floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
Use an insulated pad or ¼" (0.64 cm) plywood under range if
installing range over carpeting.
IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building materials are not
designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for baking
and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet supplier to
make sure that the materials used will not discolor, delaminate or
sustain other damage.
