Installing the Range
Unpacking and Moving the Range
CAUTION
 
You should use two or more people to move 
and install the range. (Excessive Weight 
Hazard) Failure to do so can result in back or 
other injury.
 
Do not use the door handles to push or 
pull the range during installation or when 
moving the range out for cleaning or 
service. Doing so can result in serious damage 
to the door of the range.
Remove packing material, tape and any temporary 
labels from your range before using. Do not remove 
any warning-type labels, the model and serial number 
label, or the Tech Sheet that is located on the back of 
the range.
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area 
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also 
be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid 
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe 
with warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, 
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape 
or glue. These products can damage the surface of 
your range.
Your range is heavy and can be installed on soft 
floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. 
Use care when moving the range on this type of 
flooring. Use a belt when moving the range to prevent 
damaging the floor. Or slide the range onto cardboard 
or plywood to avoid damaging the floor covering.
Choosing the Proper Location
Do not locate your 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 blocked by 
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household units, is heavy 
and can be installed on soft floor coverings such as 
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving 
the range on this type of flooring. 
This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation 
system that blows air downward toward the range.  
This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and 
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance 
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
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.
Also, make sure the floor covering can resist 
temperatures of at least 167 °F (75 °C). See the 
Installation Safety Instructions included in this 
manual.
Make sure the wall coverings around your range 
can resist the heat generated up to 194 °F (90 °C) 
by the range. See the Installation Safety Instructions 
included in this manual.
