INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
GENERAL
• See Dimensions and Clearances in this section
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
(see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) 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 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop
shall conform to the installation instructions
packed with that appliance.
• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a
minimum clearance of 30″ between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
• If a 30″ clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of
the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than
1/4″ insulating millboard covered with sheet
metal not less than 0.0122″ thick.
• Clearance between the cooking surface and
protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS
THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance
from the plane of the cooking surface to the
bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending
closer than 1″ to the plane of the range sides
must not be less than 18″. (See Dimensions and
Clearances illustration in this section.)
• CAUTION: Items of interest to children should
not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the
backsplash of a range—children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach an approved Anti-
Tip device to the wall. (See Installing
the Anti-Tip Device in this section.)
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, carefully tip the
range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range from
tipping over. If you pull the range out from the
wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip
device is engaged when you push the range
back against the wall.
• For your safety, never use your range for
warming or heating the room. Your oven and
cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen.
Top burners should not be operated without
cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result
in fire and damage to your range and will void
your warranty.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
