to

strong

drafts.

and ventilation

are not

obstructed

by carpeting

or woodwork.

Your

range,

like

many

other

items,

is heavy

and

can

settle

into

soft

floor

coverings

such

as cushioned

vinyl

or

carpeting,

Use

care

when

moving

the

range

on this

type

of

flooring.

It is recommended

that

the

following

simple

and

inexpensive

instructions

be followed

to

protect

your

floor.

The

range

should

be

installed

on a sheet

of

plywood

(or

similar

material).

When

the

floor

covering

ends

at the

front

of

the

range,

the

area

that

the

range

will

rest

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

or

servicing,

Also,

make

sure

your

floor

covering

will

withstand

180°F. (See

the

Installation

Safety

Instructions

section.)

Make

sure

the

wall

coverings

around

your

range

can

withstand

the

heat

generated

(up

to

200°F)

by the

range.

(See

the

Installation

Safety

Instructions

section.)

MODEL

AND

SERIAL

NUMBER

LOCATION

you'll

find

the

model

on a label

on the

front

frame

of

the

range,

behind

the

kick

panel

or

broiler

drawer.

IMPORTANT!

Remove

all

tape

and

packaging.

Make

sure

the

burners

are

properly

seated

and level.

Lift

up the

cooktop

(on models

with

standard

twin

burners)

and

remove

any

packing

material

under

it.
