Cabinet Construction
(Electrical Requirements)
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the range should be avoided. If
cabinet storage space is to be provided, the risk can be
reduced by installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5" (12.7 cm) beyond the
bottom of the cabinet.
When unpacking the range, do not discard
the four (4) shipping bolts. These are to be replaced on
the unit for use as leveling legs and height adjustments.

Countertop Preparation

The cooktop sides of the range fit over the cutout edge
of your countertop.
If you have a square finish (flat) countertop, no
countertop preparation is required.
Formed front-edged countertops must have molded
edge shaved flat 1/4" (0.64 cm) from each front corner
of opening.
Tile countertops may need trim cut back 1/4" (0.64
cm) from each front corner and/or rounded edge
flattened.

countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If the
countertop is not level, the range will not be level. The
