12 INSTALLATION
Installing the Range
Unpacking and Moving the Range
CAUTION
•
You should use two or more people to move
and install the range. (Excessive Weight
Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
•
Do not use the door handles to push or
pull the range during installation or when
moving the range out for cleaning or
service.
Doing so can result in serious damage
to the door of the range.
Remove packing material, tape and any temporary
labels from your range before using. Do not remove
any warning-type labels, the model and serial number
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of
the range.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also
be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe
with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape
or glue. These products can damage the surface of
your range.
Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
Use care when moving the range on this type of
flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent
damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard
or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.
Choosing the Proper Location
CAUTION
•
Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To
minimize the hazard caused by reaching over
the open flames of operating burners, install a
ventilation hood over the range that projects
forward at least five inches beyond the front of
the cabinets.
•
Make sure wall covering, countertop and
cabinets around the range can withstand
the heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the
range. Discoloration, delamination or melting
may occur. This range has been designed to
comply with the maximum allowable wood
cabinet temperature of 194 °F.
•
Before installing the range in an area
covered with linoleum or other synthetic
floor covering, make sure the floor covering
can withstand temperatures of at least
200 °F (93 °C).
•
Use an insulated pad or
1
/
4
in. (0.64 cm)
plywood under the range if installing the
range over carpeting.
The range should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet. This
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
Mobile Home - Additional Installation
Requirements
The installation of this range must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the

•
When this range is installed in a mobile home, it
must be secured to the floor during transit. Any
method of securing the range is adequate as long
as it conforms to the standards listed above.
