WARNING:

DO NOT lift range by the oven door handles or drip pan handle!!

MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE

The ranges have shipping weights varying from 420 lbs. to 630 lbs less approx. 50lbs. after removal of packing
material. It is recommended that the door(s), grates, and front kick panel be removed to facilitate handling.
This will reduce the weight for ease of handling.
It may be necessary to remove the oven doors and knobs to pass through some doorways. With the doors and
knobs removed, a 29-1/16” (RGT-36/48) 29-3/8” (RGT-305) wide opening is required. Without removing the door,
a 31-1/2” (RGT-36/48) or 30” (RGT-305) wide opening is required. Remove the outer carton and packing material
from the shipping base.
