• The installation of appliances designed for
manufactured (mobile) home installation must
conform with Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly
the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or when

• Before installing the range in an area covered with
linoleum or any other synthetic oor covering, make
sure the oor 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 re by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space above the
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.
