4. Cabinet Construction

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, do not have cabinet
storage space above the range. If there is cabinet
storage space above range, reduce the risk by installing
a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5"
(12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

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.

If the countertop opening width is greater than the
minimum cutout width, adjust the 1/4" (0.64 cm)
dimension.
Countertop must be level. Place a level on the
countertop, first side to side, then front to back. If the
countertop is not level, the range will not be level. The
oven must be level for satisfactory baking results.
Cooktop sides of range fit over edges of countertop
opening.
