gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be
subject to strong drafts. Any openings in
the floor or wall behind the range should
be sealed. Make sure the openings around
the base of the range that supply fresh air
for combustion and ventilation are not
obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household
items, is heavy and can settle into soft
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or
carpeting. Use care when moving the range
on this type of flooring. It is recommended
that the following simple and inexpensive
instructions be followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the floor
covering ends at the front of the range, the
area that the range will rest on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your
floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the
Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up
to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation
Safety Instructions section.)
