Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do

clearances specified on the rating number plate. The rating
number plate is located behind the control panel.

the sides and rear of the range.
■ To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be

or microwave hood combination that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

must be sealed.

installing range over carpeting.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to your cabinets, check with your
builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the materials used
will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage. This oven
