PROTECT YOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Mso, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°E (See the Important Safety Instructions section of the Instillation Instructions.)

KITCHEN ~BINETS
