and voiding the warranty. Make sure the wall covering, countertop, flooring and cabinets around the range

can withstand the heat (up to 200˚F) generated by the range.

. This appliance has been approved for 0

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above

the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can

be reduced by installing a range hood that projects at least 5
