MOBILE HOMES

The installation of a range designed for mobile home
installation must conform with the Manufactured Home

Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home

Construction and Safety, Title 24 HUD, Part 280) or, when
such standard is not applicable, the Standard for

Manufactured Home Installations 1982 (Manufactured
Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI

A225. l-latest edition, or with local codes.

LOCATING THE RANGE

Place range in a well lit area. Do not set range over holes
in the floor or other locations where it may be subject to

strong drafts. Any opening in the wall behind the range
and in the floor under the range should be sealed. Make

sure the flow of combustion or ventilation air is not
obstructed.

INSTALLATION DRAWINGS

FIGURE 1

"A" = 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of
the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected
wood or metal cabinet, or "A" = 24 inches minimum when

bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less
than 1/4-inch thick flame-retardant millboard covered with

not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch thick
stainless steel, 0.024-inch thick aluminum, or 0.020-inch
thick copper.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located

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
minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
