FOR YOUR SAFETY:
All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met
for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range
can be disconnected at the outlet without moving
the range if the outlet is in the preferred location
(remove lower drawer).
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching
over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space
above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage space is to be provided above the cooktop,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that sticks out at least 5″ beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must
be no deeper than 13″.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around
the range can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F)
generated by the range.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING

installation, switch power off at service panel and

power from being switched on accidentally. When
the service disconnecting means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such
as a tag, to the service panel.
