Read all instructions before installing or using this appliance.
Installation Instructions
Save these instructions for future reference.
If the range is to be installed between 24’’ deep
cabinets the optional rear spacer should be fi tted
to move the range 2’’ forward. See the spacer fi tting
instruction section of these instructions.
Any range hood should be installed in accordance
with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fi tted
immediately behind the range.
We recommend a gap of 43/” (111cm) between
units to allow for moving the range.
Do not box the range in; it must be possible to
move the range in and out for servicing.
A clearance of 5” (13cm) is required if the range is
near a corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors
to open.
Location guidelines
Do not locate the range where it may be subject
to strong drafts. Any openings in the fl oor or wall
behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the
openings around the base of the range that supply
fresh air for ventilation are not obstructed by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range is heavy and can settle into soft fl oor
coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
Use care when moving the range on this type of
fl ooring. It is recommended that the following
simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to
protect your fl oor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the fl oor
covering ends at the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher than the fl oor
covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning
or servicing. Also, make sure your fl oor covering
will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety
Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by
the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
