Installation guide

Locate
the
range
out
of
kitchen
traffic
paths and
drafty
locations
to
prevent
poor
air
circulation.
This
appliance
should
be
positioned
in
such
a
way
that
the
power
plug
is
accessible.
Do
not
install
in
an
area
exposed
to
dripping
water
or
outside
weather
conditions.
Remove
all
packaging
materials
from
the
range
before
operating
it.
These
materials
can
ignite,
causing
smoke
and/or
fire
damage.
Install
this
appliance
on
a
level
and
hard
floor
that
can
support
its
weight.
Synthetic
flooring,
like
linoleum,
must
withstand
180
°F
(82
°C)
temperatures
without
shrinking,
warping,
or
ciscoloring.
Never
install
the
range
directly
over
interior
kitchen
carpeting
unless
a
sheet
of
0.25-inch
plywood
or
similar
insulator
is
placed
between
the
range
and
carpeting.
Never
block
the
vents
(air
openings)
of
the
range.
They
provide
the
air
inlet
and
exhaust
necessary
for
the
range
to
operate
properly
with
correct
combustion.
Air
openings
are
located
behind
the
range,
under
the
oven
control
panel,
at
the
top
and
bottom
of
the
oven
coor,
and
under
the
lower
warming
or
storage
Crawer.
4
Large
scratches
or
impacts
on
coor
glass
can
cause
the
glass
to
break
or
shatter.
Make
sure
the
wall
coverings
around
the
range
can
withstand
heat,
up
to
200
°F
(93
°C),
generated
by the
range.
Avoid
placing
cabinets
above
the
range.
This
reduces
the
hazard
caused
by
reaching
over
the
open
flames
of
operating
burners.
lf
cabinets
are
placed
above
the
range,
allow
a
minimum
clearance
of
40
in
(102
cm)
between
the
cooking
surface
and
the
bottom
of
unprotected
cabinets.
Install
a
ventilation
hood
or
an
externally
vented
Over
The
Range
Microwave
Oven
over
the
range
cooktop
that
is
as
wide
as the
range,
centered
over
the
range,
and
projects
forward
beyond
the
front
of
the
cabinets.
See
page
21
in
this
manual.
Remove
all
tape
and
packaging.
Make
sure
the
burners
are
properly
seated
and
level.
Remove
any
accessories
from
the
oven and/or
lower
drawer.
Check
to
make
sure
no
range
parts
have
come
loose
during
shipping.
Seal
any
openings
in
the
wall
behind
the
appliance
and
in
the
floor
under
the
appliance
after
the
gas
supply
line
is
installed.
