Installation instructions (continued)
GENERAL
• See Dimensions and Clearances on page 2 for all
rough-in and spacing dimensions. These dimensions
must be met for safe use of your range.. The location of
the electrical outlet and pipe opening shown on page 5
may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
. The range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush) at
the back wall and side walls of the range.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or walt 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 car-
peting or woodwork.
PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cush-
ioned 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) as follows: When the floor cover-
ing 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 ser-
vicing.

The model and serial numbers are on a label located
on the front frame of the range, behind either the oven
