IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

•If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a minimum clearance of 30″ between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

•If a 30″ clearance between cooking surface and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4″ insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less than 0.0122″ thick.

•Clearance between the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than 1″ to the plane of the range sides must not be less than 18″. (See Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this section.)

•CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING

All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti- Tip device to the wall. (See Installing

the Anti-Tip Device in this section.)

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device

should engage and prevent the range from tipping over. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

•For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

•Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

GENERAL

• See Dimensions and Clearances in this section for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.

• The range may be placed with 0″ clearance (flush) at the back wall and side walls of the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
