“ Avoid placing cabinets above the range, To reduce
the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames
of operating burners, install over the range a ventila­
tion hood that projects forward at least 5 inches
beyond the front of the cabinets.
The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
m etal not less than 0,0122 inch thick (No. 28 U.S,

24 INCHES.
® if cabinets are placed above the range, allow a m ini­
m um clearance of 30 inches between the cooking sur­
face and the bottom of unprotected cabinets
° If a 30-inch clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible m aterial or metal cabinets can­
not be maintained, protect the underside of the cabi­
nets above the cooking top with not less than 1/4-inch
insulating millboard covered with sheet metal not less
than 0.0122 Inch thick (No. 28 U.S, Standard gauge)
»Clearance between the cooking surface and protect­

cabinets extending closer than 1 inch to the plane of
the range sides m ust not be less than 18 inches. (See

WARNiNG
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach the supplied
Anti-Tip device to the wall (See
page 10.) To check if the device is
installed
and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti-Tip device should engage a
bracket on the back wall of the
range. This will prevent the range
from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,
m ake sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged with the
bracket when you push the range back against the
wall.

designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not
be operated without cookware on the grates. Such
abuse could result in fire and dam age to your range

or other flam mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could
result,
» Do not use oven for a storage area Items stored in
the oven can ignite.
