If your unit is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have
to allow additional space for the handle
so the door can be opened wider.
This Use & Care Manual provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the unit only as instructed in this Use &
Care Manual.
Before starting the appli-
ance, follow these important first steps.

sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
• Install the appliance on a floor that is
level and strong enough to support a
