Range Toe Space Filler ]h structions for
Countertop Heights up to 38"
The range height
must be
adjusted
to the countertop
height.
For' countertop
heights
greater than 37", additional
steps
may need to be taken as detailed
below,
When the range is elevated to its
maximum
height, there is a large
space between
the bottom of the
range and the floor, referred
to as
the toe space. This may be visually
objectionable
The legs should not
be extended
any thrther
than to
provide
a maximum
of 3" toe
space. See Fig
I
The range is designed to provide a
minimum
of 1" air gap at the
bottom of' the range, (Example:
When legs are screwed all the way
into the base rail) See Fig. 2
This gap is very important
to the
proper ventilation
of the range and
must be maintained
when treating
the appearance
of the toe space.
The following
information
is given
to make a filler' for' the toe space
when the legs are extended
to
provide a toe space of 2¼_," to 3"
After' the range is installed
with the
longer legs and is in position and
level, measure fi'om the bottom of
the bodyside
to the floor This will
be the required height of the toe
space filler' side pieces. See Pig, 1.
This height may vary from 2¼d' to
3". Any height less than 2¼_," may
not be visually objectionable
and
not need the filler:
Determine
measurements
for the
filler' front piece as shown in Fig
3. Make sure to provide
the 3/4"
gapat
the top and the 5116" gap at
the bottom. These gaps wilt
provide the proper 1" minimum
ventilation
space as mentioned
before_
Use screws or' other' removable
fasteners if you wish to attach the
filler to the floor or adjacent
cabinets so the filler can readily be
removed
when it is necessary
to
move the range,
