PREPARE THE OPENING
Allow 1
1
2 spacing from the range to adjacent
vertical walls above the cooktop surface.
Allow 30minimum clearance between the
surface units and the bottom of unprotected
wood or metal top cabinet, and 15minimum
between the countertop and adjacent cabinet
bottom.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop
shall conform to the installation instructions
packed with that appliance.
If cabinet storage is installed, reduce the risk by
installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a min. of 5beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Make sure the wall covering, countertops and
cabinets around the range can withstand heat
generated by the range, oven or cooktop up
to 200°F.
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 1/4thick 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.
