Range Installation - Kenmore 4101 - Elite 30 in. Slide-In Electric Range Installation Instructions Manual

Range Installation
Important Note: Door removal is not a requirement for
installation of the range, but is an added convenience.
Refer to the Use and Care Guide for oven door removal
instructions.
Standard Installation
The range cooktop overlaps the countertop at the
sides and the range rests on the floor. The cooktop
is 31 1/2" (81 cm) wide.
Install base cabinets 30" (76.2 cm) apart. Make
sure they are plumb and level before attaching
cooktop. Shave raised countertop edge to clear 31
1/2" (81 cm) wide range top rim.
Install cabinet doors 31 " (78.7 cm) min. apart so as
not to interfere with range door opening.
Cutout countertop exactly as shown on page 1.
Make sure the four leveling legs (front and rear) are
setup higher than the height of the cabinet (shown
on page 3).
Install the anti-tip bracket at this
point before placing the range at its final
position. Follow the installation instructions on
page 13 or on the anti-tip bracket template
supplied with the range.
To provide an optimum installation, the top surface
of the countertop must be level and flat (lie on the
same plane) around the 3 sides that are adjacent to
range cooktop. Proper adjustments to make the top
flat should be made or gaps between the
countertop and the range cooktop may occur.
Position range in front of the cabinet opening.
Make sure that the glass which overhangs the
countertop clears the countertop. If necessary, raise
the unit by lowering the leveling legs.
Level the range (see section 8). The floor where
the range is to be installed must be level. Follow the
instructions under "Leveling the Range".
Slide the range into the cutout opening.
