All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe
use ofyour range Electricity to the range can be
disconnected at the outlet without moving the range if the
outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower drawer)
Toreduce the risk of bums 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 may"be no deeper than 73"
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician
