to the door of the range.
Remove packing material, protective film, tape and
any temporary labels from your range before using.
Do not remove any warning-type labels, the model
and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is
located on the back of the range.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also
be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe
with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape
or glue. These products can damage the surface of
your range.
Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
Use care when moving the range on this type of
flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent
damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard
or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.

individual properly grounded electrical outlet. This
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
