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
Do not locate your range where it may be subject to
strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air
for combustion and ventilation are not blocked by
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household units, 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.
This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation
system that blows air downward toward the range.
This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
When the floor covering ends at the front of the
range, the area that the range will be installed on
should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the
range to be moved for cleaning and servicing, as well
as provide proper air flow to the range.
Also, make sure the floor covering can resist
temperatures of at least 167 °F (75 °C). See the
Installation Safety Instructions included in this
manual.
Make sure the wall coverings around your range
can resist the heat generated up to 194 °F (90 °C)
by the range. See the Installation Safety Instructions
included in this manual.
