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 proper ventilation, the range needs sufficient space below and all around the
chassis. Vents in the chassis exhaust heat and fumes so the range can operate properly.
•
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.
