Preparing the Opening, Location of Range

Installation Instructions

PREPARING THE OPENING

Location of Range

•The distance from the floor to the top of the counter must be at least 35 7/8". The maximum counter height is 38".

•Do not put the range near an outside door or where a draft may affect use.

•Cabinet space directly over the range should not be used. You could be seriously injured when reaching over the range for items stored in such cabinets. This hazard can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the range may be no deeper than 13".

CLEARANCES

•You must keep a clearance of at least 2" between the sides of cooktop portion of range and any material that could catch fire, from the cooktop upward, to a height of at least 18".

•You must keep a vertical 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" x 28").

The cabinet must have solid sides, back , and bottom.

The bottom must be solid either at floor level or with the bottom edge of the cutout. Any openings around the gas or electrical outlets must be sealed. All cabinet openings must be sealed at the time of installation to prevent drafts. Drafts will affect safe use of the oven.

All rough-in and minimum clearance dimensions.

•For listed over-the-range microwave ovens, the oven can be installed above the cooktop as per manufacturer's instructions.

•Some vinyl wall tiles and floor coverings, as well as some indoor-outdoor carpeting, soften at fairly low temperatures. If you are unsure of the heat resistance of a material, put a protective covering under the range to prevent possible heat damage during range use.

•Recommended location for the gas inlet pipe and electrical outlet.

•Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around the range can withstand the heat (up to 200° F) generated by the range.
