MINIMUM CLEARANCES

• The distance from the floor to the top
of the counter must be at least 35-7/8".
The maximum counter height is 38".
• 30" ranges conform to U.L. requirements
for 0" spacing from vertical walls below
countertops. Allow 1/4" minimum clearance
at the back wall above the countertop.
However, some kitchen cabinet finishes can
be damaged by heat from the range surface
elements. Where varnished wood or plastic
film finishes are used, a minimum clearance
of 6" must be maintained.
• For listed over-the-range microwave
ovens, the microwave ovens can be installed
above the cooktop as per manufacturer's
installation instructions.
• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be
met for safe use of your range. The location
of the electrical outlet may be changed as
needed, but electricity to the range can be
disconnected at the outlet without moving the
range if the outlet is in the suggested location
(remove lower drawer).
