• Before installing your range on linoleum or any other
synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor coveting
can withstand 180°E (82°C.) without shrinldng,
warping or discoloring. Do not insta_ the range over
carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4" (6 mm) thick
plywood or similar insulator is placed between the
range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand heat generated by the range up to
200°E
(93oC.),
• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce
the hazard cansed by reaching over the open flames
of operating burners, install a ventilation hood over
the range that projects forward at least 5" (12.7 cm)
beyond the front of the cabinets.
• The ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 0.0122" (o31 mm) thick° Install
above the cooldng top with a clearance of not less
than 1/4" (6 ram) between the hood and the
underside of the combustible material or metal
cabinet. The hood must be at least as wide as the
appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance
between the cooldng surface and the ventilation
hood surface
MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN
24"
(61 cm).
