GENERAL
o See Dimensions
and Clearances
in this section
for
all rough-in

These dimen-
sions must be met for safe use of your range. The

requirements.

LOCATION
Do not locate the 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 obstructed
by car-
peting or woodwork°
PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
Your range, like many other household
items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cush-
ioned 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 frontofthe
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.
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending
on your range,
you'll find the model and
serial
numbers
on a label on the front frame of the
range,
behind
the storage
drawer,
broiler drawer
or
kick panel.
