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, 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.
