If counter opening extends to the wall, it will
require Maintop Filler Kit (supplied with the
range) or Backguard Kit (JXS36XX or
JXS39SS) to close the gap.
NOTE: If the countertop is greater than 25",
it will show a gap between the backguard
and wall or between filler kit and the wall.
If the countertop is less than 25", a gap will
occur between the countertop front and the
control panel ends (see Step 8).
If you are using the optional backguard kit,

If you use the filler kit, place the metal filler
piece supplied with the range to the back of
the range as shown in the figure below. Start
the 2 screws into the upper holes at the
outside rear of the range above the louvers
and through the slots in the trim, holding
the filler piece centered on the maintop
frame and pushing upward to close the gap
between the bottom of the glass and the
filler trim.
When the trim is set in the proper position,
tighten the 2 mounting screws. The top of the
trim should be located below the top surface
of the glass to prevent pots, pans and skillets
from damaging the painted parts.
Refer to the Standard Installation of the
Range on page 6.
