WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• This range is for indoor household use
only. Do not install the range outdoors
or anywhere that it will be exposed to
weather/water or wind/ strong drafts.
• Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range’s weight. Synthetic
flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures without
shrinking, warping, or discoloring.
Do not install the range directly over interior kitchen
carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator is placed between the
range and carpeting.
• The range must be installed within easy reach of a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not hang paper blinds on a window near the range; do not hand long curtains that
could be blown over/onto the range.
• For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range’s vents are not blocked or
covered, and that there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the
range. The vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion and get the good cooking result.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 194 °F (90 °C)
generated by the range.
• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage
above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 30 inches (76.2 cm)
between the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that
projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
