●Clearance between the cooking surface and protected cabinets MUST N~R BE ~SS THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer tian 1“ to the plane of the range sides must not be less tian 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 rangtihildren climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

● Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

the floor covering can withstand 180°E without

shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install

the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4”

thick plywood or similar insulator is placed

range up to 200°E

● Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To

reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the

open flames of operating burners, install a

ventilation hood over the range that projects

forward at least 5“ beyond the front of the cabinets.

● The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122” thick. Instill

above the cooktop with a clearance of not less

than 1/4” between the hood and the underside

of the combustible material or metal cabinet.

The hood must beat least as wide as the

appliance and centered over the appliance.

Clearance between the cooking surface and the.

ventilation hood surface MUST N~R BE ~,,] ~,, ~

~SS THAN 24 INCHES.

● If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a	‘ \	: “\
minimum clearance of 30” between the cooking
surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
