SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• If the range is located near a window, do not hang long
curtains or paper blinds on that window.
• Do not block or cover the vents (air openings) located at
the rear of the range and at the top and bottom of the door.
The vents allow for air circulation that is necessary for the
range to operate properly with correct combustion. Blocking
or covering the vents may cause incorrect combustion
which could result in gas leaks and re.
• 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” (102 cm) between the
cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5”
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• Locate the range out of kitchen trafc paths and drafty
locations to prevent poor air circulation.
• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long
curtains or paper blinds on that window. They could blow
over the surface burners and ignite, causing a re hazard.
LOCATION SAFETY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, 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 oor that can support the range’s weight.
Synthetic ooring, 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" plywood or a similar
insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.
• Select a location where a grounded, 3- prong outlet is easily
accessible.
