SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• If the range is located near a window, do not hang long
curtains or paper blinds on that window.
• For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range’s
vents are not blocked, and that there is enough clearance
at the top, back, sides, and underneath the range. The
vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate
properly with correct combustion.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C) generated by the range.
• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be
avoided. If cabinet storage above the range is necessary:
allow a minimum clearance of 40” (102 cm) between the
cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5”
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• Locate the range out of kitchen trafc paths and drafty
locations to prevent poor air circulation.
• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long
curtains or paper blinds on that window. They could blow
over the surface burners and ignite, causing a re hazard.
LOCATION SAFETY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, personal injuries, and/
or death, obey the following precautions.
• This range is for indoor,
household use only.
Do not install the range in
areas exposed to the weather
and/or water.
• Do not install the range in a
place which is exposed to a
strong draft.
• Select a level, well-constructed oor that can support the
range’s weight. Synthetic ooring, such as linoleum, must
withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures without shrinking,
warping, or discoloring. Do not install the range directly
over interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of ¼" plywood
or a similar insulator is placed between the range and
carpeting.
• Select a location where a grounded, 3- prong outlet is easily
accessible.
