Installation Instructions
Save these instructions for future reference.
If the range is to be installed between 24’’ deep cabinets the optional rear spacer should be fitted to move the range 2’’ forward. See the spacer fitting instruction section of these instructions.
Any range hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 43/” (111cm) between units to allow for moving the range.
Do not box the range in; it must be possible to move the range in and out for servicing.
A clearance of 5” (13cm) is required if the range is near a corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors to open.
Location guidelines
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 ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range 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.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
