The

best

types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or

between countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave

oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall
conform to the installation instructions packed
with that appliance.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching
over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a min. of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets. Make sure the

leveling

feet in and out as required to

level

the
range. (For instructions on how to remove and

is to be installed into the ANTI-TIP bracket.
Check the range for proper installation into the

ANTI-TIP bracket (after the range has been
properly installed) by removing the kick panel or
