CLEARANCES
WARNING: The minimum distances given in these installation instructions are to
combustible surfaces, and it is the installers' responsibility that clearances are
observed to ensure safe operation.
• The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. Install a non-combustible material
on the rear wall above the range and up to the vent hood. It is not necessary to install
non-combustible materials behind the range below the countertop height.
• The minimum vertical clearance between the appliance and combustible construc-
tion extending from the cooking surface is 30 inches.
• The minimum vertical clearance between the countertop surface and combustible
construction above the appliance is 18 inches.

• WARNING: Do not lift or carry the range by the oven handles.
• Remove and recycle packaging and keep out of reach of children.
• Before installing the range, you must locate and secure the included Anti-Tip
Bracket Set for your range.
• The use of a gas range leads to the formation of heat, moisture, and combustion
effects in the room where the appliance is installed. It is recommended that the unit be
operated with an overhead vented exhaust hood of sufficient size and capacity.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air into the range and ventilation air away from
the range.
• This appliance is not approved for downward
airflow ventilation or air curtain equivalent. This type
of ventilation system may cause ignition and com-
bustion problems with this gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
• The range may be installed flush to the rear wall.
You may install a non-combustible material on the
rear wall above the range and up to the vent hood. It
is not necessary to install non-combustible materi-
als behind the range below the countertop height.
• The range must be installed on a clean, flat, even
surface. The floor surface should not be combusti-
ble and should resist heat such as concrete or tile.
• WARNING: All openings in the wall behind the
appliance and in the floor under the appliance
shall be sealed.
• Install the appliance so that the power cord
or gas piping does not come into contact
with any portion of the cooktop which
may become hot during use.
• CAUTION: The use of cabinets
for storage above the appliance
may result in a potential fire
hazard. Combustible items may
ignite; metallic items may become hot
and cause burns. If cabinet storage is
to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5” (12.7cm) beyond the bottom of
the cabinets.
• The cabinetry and ventilation hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the range.
• Make sure the wall coverings, countertop, and cabinets around the appliance can
withstand heat up to 200º F (93°C) generated by the appliance.
• Deep fat fryers must not be installed directly next to gas cooktops. Gas flames can
ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 12in should be maintained between these
two appliances.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to make certain that the appliance is properly
adjusted at the time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or
improper installation are not covered under the warranty.
• The minimum distance from the side of the range above the countertop to combus-
tible sidewalls must be at least 13 inches.
• The minimum horizontal distance between overhead cabinets installed to either
side of the appliance shall not be less than the nominal width of the appliance.
• A floor-supported unit requires zero distance between adjacent combustible
construction (sides and rear).
