H PREPARE THE OPENING
Allow IVz" spacing from the range to adjacent
vertical walls above the cooktop surface.
Allow 30" minimum clearance between the
surface units and the bottom of unprotected
wood or metal top cabinet, and 15" minimum
between the countertop and adjacent cabinet
bottom.
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop
shall conform to the installation instructions
packed with that appliance.
If cabinet storage is installed, reduce the risk by
installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a min. of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Make sure the wall covering, countertops and
cabinets around the range can withstand heat
generated by the range, oven or cooktop up
to 200°F.
Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into sof^ floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring,
it should be installed on a 1/4" thick sheet
of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
When the floor 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 floor covering. This will
allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing.
