FOR YOUR SAFETY:
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when
reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet
storage space above the cooktop should be
avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be
provided above the cooktop, the risk can
be reduced by installing a range hood that
sticks out at least 5” beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop
must be no deeper than 13”
.
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings
around the range can withstand the temperatures
(up to 200°F.) generated by the range.

remove packaging materials could result in
damage to the appliance.
NOTE: Cut the orange shipping ties from the
