Location of Range
• The distance from the floor to the top of the counter must be at least 35 7/8". The maximum counter height
is 38".
• Do not put the range near an outside door or where a draft may affect use.
• Cabinet space directly over the range should not be used. You could be seriously injured when reaching over
the range for items stored in such cabinets. This hazard can be reduced by installing a range hood that
projects a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above the range may be no
deeper than 13".

• For listed over-the-range microwave ovens, the oven can be
installed above the cooktop as per manufacturer's
instructions.
• Some vinyl wall tiles and floor coverings, as well as some
indoor-outdoor carpeting, soften at fairly low temperatures. If
you are unsure of the heat resistance of a material, put a
protective covering under the range to prevent possible heat
damage during range use.
• Recommended location for the gas inlet pipe and electrical
outlet.
• Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets
around the range can withstand the heat (up to 200° F)
generated by the range.
The cabinet must
have solid sides,
back , and bottom.
The bottom must be solid
either at floor level or with
the bottom edge of the
cutout. Any openings around
the gas or electrical outlets
must be sealed. All cabinet
openings must be sealed at
the time of installation to
prevent drafts. Drafts will
affect safe use of the oven.
• You must keep a clearance of at least 2" between the sides of cooktop portion of range and any material that
could catch fire, from the cooktop upward, to a height of at least 18".
• You must keep a vertical distance of at least 30" between the cooktop and any overhead cabinets for an area
equal to the width and depth of the range (30" x 28").
