Dimensions and Clearances

Provide proper clearance between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see "Gas Pipe and Electrical Outlet Locations" below) may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.The range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush) at the back wall.-DimensionsLRG3060**, LRG3061**, LRG3193**, LRG3194**AWidth30" (762 mm)BHeight47 7/16" (1205 mm)CDepth (Includes Door Handle)27 9/16" (700 mm)DHeight (Cooking surface)36 1/32" (915 mm)EDepth (Includes only the product body that is loaded into the cabinet.

Ventilation

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.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.

Flooring

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.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.Make sure the floor covering can resist temperatures of at least 167 °F (75 °C). See the Installation Safety Instructions included in this manual.

Ambient Temperature

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.
