CLEARANCES
WARNING: The minimum distances given in these installation instructions are to
combustible surfaces, and it is the installers' responsibility that clearances are
observed to ensure safe operation.
• The range may be installed flush to the rear wall. Install a non-combustible material
on the rear wall above the range and up to the vent hood. It is not necessary to install
non-combustible materials behind the range below the countertop height.
• The minimum vertical clearance between the appliance and combustible construc-
tion extending from the cooking surface is 30 inches.
• The minimum vertical clearance between the countertop surface and combustible
construction above the appliance is 18 inches.
• The minimum distance from the side of the range above the countertop to combus-
tible sidewalls must be at least 13 inches.
• The minimum horizontal distance between overhead cabinets installed to either
side of the appliance shall not be less than the nominal width of the appliance.
• A floor-supported unit requires zero distance between adjacent combustible
construction (sides and rear).

• WARNING: Do not lift or carry the range by the oven handle.
• Remove and recycle packaging and keep out of reach of children.
• Before installing the range, you must locate and secure the included Anti-Tip
Bracket Set for your range.
• The use of a gas range leads to the formation of heat, moisture, and combustion
effects in the room where the appliance is installed. It is recommended that the unit
be operated with an overhead vented exhaust hood of sufficient size and capacity.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air
into the range and ventilation air away from
the range.
• This appliance is not approved for down-
ward airflow ventilation or air curtain equiv-
alent. This type of ventilation system may
cause ignition and combustion problems
with this gas cooking appliance resulting in
personal injury or unintended operation.
• The range may be installed flush to the
rear wall. You may install a non-combusti-
ble material on the rear wall above the
range and up to the vent hood. It is not
necessary to install non-combustible
materials behind the range below the coun-
tertop height.
• The range must be installed on a clean,
flat, even surface. The floor surface should
not be combustible and should resist
heat such as concrete or tile.
• CAUTION: The use of cabinets for
storage above the appliance may
result in a potential fire hazard.
Com-
bustible items may ignite; metallic
items may become hot and cause
burns. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• The cabinetry and ventilation hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage.
• Install the appliance so that the
power cord or gas piping does not
come into contact with any portion of
the cooktop which may become hot
during use.
• WARNING: All openings in the wall
behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.
• Make sure the wall coverings, countertop, and cabinets around the appliance can
withstand heat up to 200º F (93°C) generated by the appliance.
• Deep fat fryers must not be installed directly next to gas cooktops. Gas flames can
ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 12in should be maintained between these
two appliances.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to make certain that the appliance is properly
adjusted at the time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or
improper installation are not covered under the warranty.
