Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this appliance. The installation of appliances designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD (part 280)] or when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups), ANSI Z225.1/ NFPA 501A-latest edition, or with local codes in United States and with CAN/CSA-Z240 MH in Canada. Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or any other synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least 90°F (32.2°C) above room temperature without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼" (0,64 cm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting. Make sure the wall coverings and cabinet materials around the range can withstand the heat generated by the appliance. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space above the surface unit should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided the risk can be reduce by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinet. Do not obstruct airflow at the oven vent, around the base, or beneath the lower front panel of the appliance. This appliance requires fresh air for proper operation. Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible, and easily accessible located near the appliance.
