PROTECTYOUR FLOOR
"/'our 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 flaor covering ends at the
front afthe 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.
