Cabinet Dimensions

Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm)
countertop depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth, and
36" (91.4 cm) countertop height.
IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood
combination above the range, follow the range hood or
microwave hood combination installation instructions for
dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface.
Range may be installed next to combustible walls with zero
clearance.

IMPORTANT: This range must be exhausted outdoors unless
you are using ductless venting. See the "Venting Methods"
section.
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
■
enclosed area.
Use an approved vent cap for proper performance. If an
■
alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is
not reduced and that it has a backdraft damper.
Vent system must terminate to the outside unless you are
■
using a ductless vent kit.
Use a 5" (12.7 cm) or 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent or a
■
3 / " x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent.

Rigid metal vent is recommended. For best performance, do
■
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must
■
be constructed.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
■
The vent system must have a damper.
■
Seal all joints in the vent system.
L
■
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around
■
the cap.
Determine which venting method is best for your
■
application.
For Best Performance:
Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum
■
aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe fittings can reduce
airflow. For external venting, flexible metal vent is not
recommended.
NOTES:
For external venting, flexible metal vent is not
■
recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and
air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.
■
Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel
■
or 26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes.
This reduction is based on information in the International
Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).
Avoid installing 2 elbows together.
■
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■
Make sure there is a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of straight
■
vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence that
reduces airflow.
Do not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a 6" (15.2 cm) or
■
3 1 / " x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) system.
4
Do not reduce to a 5" (12.7 cm) system after using a
■
6" (15.2 cm) or 3
Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps may
■
restrict airflow.
