Dimensions and clearances
Provide adequate clearances between the range and
adjacent combustible surfaces. 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.
Positioning the Range
The diagrams below show the minimum
recommended distance from the range to nearby
surfaces.

The cooktop surround should be level with, or above,
any adjacent work surface. Above cooktop level a
gap of 3” should be left between each side of the
range and any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted
metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 1”.
A minimum space of 30” is required between the top
of the cooktop and a horizontal combustible surface.
The maximum depth for cabinets installed above
cooktops is 13’’.
The range is to be installed between 24’’ deep
cabinets, the rear spacer should be fitted to move the
range 2’’ forward. See the spacer fitting instruction
section of these instructions.
Any range hood should be installed in accordance
with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted
immediately behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 43-11/16” (111cm) (for
Canada 44-5/16” (112.5cm)) between units to allow
for moving the range.
If a flush fit is required (USA only), fit the range up to
the unit at one side then fit the unit the other side.
A clearance of 5” (13cm) is required if the range is
near a corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors
to open.
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 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.
