Owner’s Manual

12 INSTALLATION
NOTE
• Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or
carpeting. Use care when moving the range on
this type of flooring. Use a belt when moving the
range to prevent damaging the floor. Or slide
the range onto cardboard or plywood to avoid
damaging the floor covering.
• Remove packing material, tape and any
temporary labels from your range before using.
Do not remove any warning-type labels, the
model and serial number label, or the Tech
Sheet that is located on the back of the range.
• To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the
area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue
residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a
small amount of liquid dish soap over the
adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm
water and dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your range.
Choosing the Proper
Location
Electricity
The range should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet.
• This prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Flooring
CAUTION
• Use an insulated pad or 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) plywood
under the range if installing the range over
carpeting.
Ambient Temperature
CAUTION
• Make sure wall covering, countertop and
cabinets around the range can withstand the
heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the range.
Discoloration, delamination or melting may
occur. This range has been designed to comply
with the maximum allowable wood cabinet
temperature of 194 °F.
• Before installing the range in an area covered
with linoleum or other synthetic floor covering,
make sure the floor covering can withstand
temperatures of at least 200 °F (93 °C).
