LOCATION SAFETY
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death,
obey the following precautions.
•
This range is for indoor, household use only.
Do not install the range in areas exposed to the
weather and/or water.
•
Do not install the range in a place which is
exposed to a strong draft.
•
Select a level, well-constructed floor that can
support the range's weight. Synthetic flooring,
such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82
°C) temperatures without shrinking, warping, or
discoloring. Do not install the range directly over
interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch
plywood or a similar insulator is placed between
the range and carpeting.
•
Select a location where a grounded, 3- prong outlet is easily accessible.
•
If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains or paper blinds on that
window.
•
For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range's vents are not blocked, and that
there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the range. The vents
allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
•
Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C)
generated by the range.
•
Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage
above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches (102 cm) between
the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
COOKTOP SAFETY

any part of the cooktop.
•
Do not leave burners unattended on medium or
high heat settings.

•
properly in place and all burners are level.
