use.
l
Seal all openings in the wall behind and the floor below the range,
before you slide the range into place.
l
Cabinet storaoe soace. located directlv over a range. should not be used. Serious injury’could occur when reaching over the range for thlngs
stored in such cabinets. This hazard can be cut down by installing a
range hood that sticks out a mlnimum of 5” beyond the front of the
cabmet. Cabinets installed above the range may be no deeper than 13”
l
Some vinyl wall tiles and floor coverings, as well as some indooroutdoor carpeting, soften at relatively low temperatures. If there is any
question of the heat resistance of a material, put a protective covering
between the range and the material to prevent possible heat damage
during range use.
CLEARANCES
l
The ran e may be placed with 0” clearance (flush) against the back and
side wa Is of the range if the front edges of the range side panels stick B
out l/t” beyond cabinet fronts next to range. See Figures 2 and 3.
l
There must be a distance of at least 30” between the cooktop and any
overhead cabinets for an area equal to the width and depth of the range
(30” by 28”). See Figure 3.
l
Keep at least 2” between the sides of the range and burnable things
next to it, for a distance, from the cooktop upward, of at least 18”. See
