Model/serial rating plate location

■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 that projects horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
