Installation of the range.
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
LOCATION GUIDELINES
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.)
