PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
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 Important Safety Instructions section
of the Installation Instructions.)
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you’ll find the model
and serial numbers on a label on the front frame
of the range, behind the storage drawer, kick
panel or broiler drawer.

Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up
to 200°F) by the range. (See the Important
Safety Instructions section of the Installation
Instructions.)
