16 INSTALLATION
Flooring
CAUTION
• Use an insulated pad or 1/4 in. (0.64 cm) plywood
under the range if installing the range over
carpeting.
• When the floor covering ends at the front of the
range, the area that the range will be installed
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 and
servicing, as well as provide proper air flow to
the range.
Ambient Temperature
CAUTION
• Make sure wall coverings, countertops and
cabinets around the range can withstand the
heat (up to 194 °F) generated by the range.
Discoloration, delamination or melting may
occur. This range has been designed to comply
with the maximum allowable wood cabinet
temperature of 194 °F.
• Before installing the range in an area covered
with linoleum or other synthetic floor covering,
make sure the floor covering can withstand
temperatures of at least 160 °F (70 °C).
