NOTE: Clearance specified to combustible construc- tion (walls and materials) are based on a temperature rise of wood structures resulting from appliance opera- tion. These clearances are suitable for walls of stud- ding, lath and plaster, or other types of combustible materials which have a density of 20 pounds per cubic foot or more. No evaluation of the clearances required has been made for installations adjacent to low densi- ty cellulose, fiber board and similar materials which have a density of less than 20 pounds per cubic foot; nor to plastic tiles or sheeting.

ANY OPENINGS IN THE WALL BEHIND THE RANGE OR FLOOR UNDER THE RANGE MUST BE SEALED.

WARNING:

Reaching over heated surface burners causes risk of being burned. To reduce risk, installation of cabinet storage above surface units should be avoided.

If cabinets are already provided, reduce hazard by in- stalling a range hood. Hood should project horizontal- ly beyond bottom of cabinets by a minimum of 5 inches.

A= Height for range with eye-level oven plus vent hood: 72” min.

B = Height for range with eye-level oven alone: 66” min.

C = Width between counters: 3O1/a”

D = Height of countertop: 36”

E= Depth: 25”

F = Receptacle location: 17” max. from right cabinet and 20” max. from floor.

G = Wall gas line hole location 8’/2” from left cabinet and 25/,6 from floor.

H = Floor gas line hole location: on floor 81/2’1from left cabinet and back wall.

I = Both gas line holes should be no more than 221,$” from right cabinet.

The back and sides of this range may be installed with zero clearance. Vertical walls extending above the cooktop must have a minimum horizontal clearance of 6 inches from the side edges of the cook top.

Overhead cabinets should be a maximum of 13 inches deep.

It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearance specified on the rating plate attached to the appliance.

To prevent discoloration of base cabinet, front of oven frame must extend at least l/2" beyond surface of cabinets.

Do not seal range to cabinets.

The power cord must run downward, left or right to the wall receptacle to avoid pinching the cord between rear portion of the range and wall.

B. Check microwave for damage

Remove all packing material from the oven cavity. When unpacking the unit, check for damage such as misaligned door, damaged gaskets around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, please do not operate the unit until it has been checked by an authorized Whirlpool trained ser- vice technician.
