3-2
When the range is installed, these spacers
should just come in contact with the surface of
the wall. If they are accidentally bent in, proper
spacing will be lost, and the oven will not heat
properly. Also, the front control panel may be-
come overly warm, and cause the bimetal
switches to trip, shutting down the operation.
If any of these problems occur, it is most likely
because of air flow restrictions.
The gas range needs sufficient air to properly
cool the oven. In addition, proper air flow
through the gas range also keeps the front con-
trol panel from becoming too hot while the ele-
ments are operating, causing operational prob-
lems.
To help provide the proper air flow along the
back of the range, the rear panel of the range
has a spacer on each side toward the bottom.
