(see Figure 3-1). When the range is installed,
these spacers should just come in contact with
the surface of the wall. If they are accidentally
bent in, proper spacing will be lost, and the
oven will not heat properly. Also, the front con-
trol panel may become overly warm, and cause
the bimetal switches to trip, shutting down the
operation. If any of these problems occur, it is
most likely because of air flow restrictions.
The electric range needs sufficient air to prop-
erly cool the oven. In addition, proper air flow
through the electric range also keeps the front
control panel from becoming too hot while the
elements are operating, and causing opera-
tional problems.
To help provide the proper air flow along the
back of the range, the rear panel of the range
has a spacer on each side toward the bottom
