IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.

It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located inside the oven door on the right-hand side oven door trim.

The range should be located for convenient use in the kitchen.

Recessed installations must provide complete enclosure of the sides and rear of the range.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood or microwave hood combination that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

All openings in the wall or floor where range is to be installed must be sealed.

Do not seal the range to the side cabinets.

Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions are minimum clearances.
