About appliance installation
Appliances have specific requirements for clearances, ventilation, electrical, gas and water. Getting them right protects your warranty and keeps you safe, especially with gas ranges and high-powered induction units.
The best time to select appliances is early in the planning process, since cutout dimensions and utility locations feed directly into cabinet and countertop plans.
