Installation Instructions

Preparing the Counter
B1
Filler Strips or Backguard
WARNING: The Filler Strip supplied or
optional backguard must be used. With
any installation, do not let the countertop
or other combustible material fill the
space between the back edge of the cooktop
and back of the required cutout.
Your range is designed to be installed in
a 30" wide opening; the cutout depth will
vary with the type countertop you have.
Here are three basic recommended
installations:
1. Standard 25" countertop without post-
formed backsplash.
2. Island.
3. Standard countertop with post-formed
backsplash.
After determining the countertop type you
have, choose the best installation to meet
your needs.
With any installation, mark the cutout on
the counter.
Dimensions given in the following references
are measured from the front of the counter,
not from the cabinet face. To minimize
chipping, you may apply masking tape. For
best appearance, it is important that the cut
be smooth and straight.

Side Trim Extension Kit
If there is a small gap between the sides of
the range and the cabinets (up to 1/4" each
side) you can order a side trim extension kit
through any Service Center.
Order Pub. No. 8078690/3-A040.
