•
Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make
sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least
90°F (32,2°C) above room temperature without
shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the
range over carpeting unless you place an insulating
pad or sheet of ¼" (0,64 cm) thick plywood between
the range and carpeting.
•
Make sure the wall coverings and cabinet materials
around the range can withstand the heat generated by
the appliance.
•
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over

surface unit should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to
be provided the risk can be reduce by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
•
Do not obstruct airflow at the oven vent, around
the base, or beneath the lower front panel of the
