Can I move a stove and put it on it's side?

Question

I need to pick up a stove, and I was wondering if it is OK to lay it down on it's back when I move it. I want to move it this weekend, but I only have and SUV and not a truck. I don't want to do any damage to it.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Should be fine.  Be sure to remove any loose parts, burner bibs, racks inside, and tape the door shut.  Not a big deal, but it will save you some grief while it is being moved.

Answer 2

yea thats bad just wait until u get the right equipment especially if its a gas stove u culd burn up literally

Answer 3

Yes it would be OK to lie it on its side.

Remove the oven trays and racks.

Tape the doors shut and the element and rings in place.

Have a blanket on the deck so you don't scratch the sides as you slide it in and out again.

Answer 4

Yes, putting a stove on it's side wont harm it , but I would put down a blanket or pad.
