PREPARE THE OPENING 2
• Allow 2" spacing from the range to adjacent ver-
tical walls above the cooktop surface. Allow 30"
minimum clearance between the surface units
and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal
top cabinet, and 18" minimum between the
countertop and the adjacent cabinet bottom.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire when reach-
ing over hot surface elements, cabinet storage
space above the cooktop should be avoided. If
cabinet storage space is to be provided above
cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a
range hood that protrudes at least 5” beyond the
front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a
cooktop may be no deeper than 13".
Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such
as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring, it
should be installed on a 1/4" thick sheet of ply-
wood (or similar material) as follows:
When the floor covering ends at the front of the
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.
