Allow 2" spacing from the range to adjacent
•
vertical walls above the cooktop surface. Allow
30" minimum clearance between the surface
units and the bottom of unprotected wood or
metal top cabinet, and 18" minimum between
the countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire when
•
reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage space above the cooktop should be
avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that
protrudes at least 5" beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop
may be no deeper than 13".

Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of
flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4"
thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)
as follows:
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.
