floor covering can withstand at least 200°F (93°C).
■ Use an insulated pad or ¼" (0.64 cm) plywood under range if
installing range over carpeting.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used
will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage. This oven

and CSA International and complies with the maximum allowable
wood cabinet temperatures of 194°F (90°C).
